First day of Lent and friends

Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Ash Wednesday begins the Lenten season and occurs 46 days before Easter Sunday. This year I have decided to give up Diet Coke. I also am taking the time to read my devotional bible daily. What have you given up? Are you doing anything special during Lent? In case you're wondering what bible verses to read for Ash Wednesday, here are some that are particular to Ash Wednesday.

Psalm 51:3-6, 12-13, 14, 17

2 Corinthians 5:20- 6:2

Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18

I was so excited to meet Lisa and her girls today for lunch at Chili's. Today was Kids Eat Free at Chili's. So we were excited to go have some good food and enjoy the great company.

We lucked out and had this huge corner booth for just the six of us. The girls sat at the end beside each other.

Ava and Austin were all over the booth! ;-) These two are just the cutest little things. All they talk about the whole time they are together is about getting married! HA!! I have to say, I would be thrilled if Austin was to find such a wonderful family to marry into. I just hope that he waits oh... 25 years from now!

After our lunch at Chili's we went to our neighborhood playground. The weather was GORGEOUS today. Seriously, can it stay like this from now on??!! I'm in heaven. You all know I am a heat and sunshine kind of person. It was 82* today and sunny. LOVE IT.

Kinley loves the swings. She was almost singing herself to sleep on that swing. ;-)

They ran all over, Austin even found a ball on the basketball court. Papa, I think he is going to be your next basketball player! He made the shots!! I was impressed.

I just love hanging out with Lisa and her sweet kiddos. The kids all love being together and we enjoy visiting when we aren't chasing after or yelling at one of them! ;-) I am so excited for this summer. I see lots of play dates in our future this summer.

Oh I just love these two! He loves her so much. We had such a fun day at lunch and the playground.

Everyone started getting pink and red and we were afraid they were getting burnt, so we called it a day. Kinley is home napping and as soon as they get up we are headed back outside. It's gorgeous!

I hope that you all had a wonderful Wednesday. Doc is coming home early this afternoon so we can go to evening mass for Ash Wednesday. Enjoy your evening.
