Mardi Gras!

This is how we spent our weekend, being lazy at the beach. I love being so close to the beach that we can take these little getaways whenever we want! Mardi Gras festivities were on full swing and we took advantage of all PC had to offer. Lucy enjoyed yelling "throw me some, mister!" over and over. She got a ton of beads and had a ball. We will definitely do this again next year. She would raise her sweet hand and yell "me!" each time a float would come by.


We are in the beginnings of Lent in our house...preparing for the death and resurrection of our Lord. While she is still too young to understand it all, I want to instill in her a passion for this time of year. On Ash Wednesday, the look on her face when we got our ashes was priceless. I told her they were ashes and she laughed and said "ashes,ashes, we all fall down!" And truly, we should fall down. Fall down in humbleness at the grace and forgiveness we each receive from His most wonderful sacrifice. My prayer for lent is to become more like Him in all aspects of my life.

Praying you also are blessed during this Lenten season!
