Ash Wednesday


Today is Ash Wednesday. We usually go to church and get our ash cross on our forehead but this year Chad had to work and I am so sick I could not imagine sitting through a service! We are a proud Catholic family and I will be the first to tell you it has been a rough year for us as far as Church goes. Between the birth of Brady, H1N1, the holidays, and this winter sickness we all have we have not been faithful in attending Church regularly. Hopefully that will change soon and we can get back on a regular church schedule. Abby attends Catholic school so she goes to church twice a week during school.

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent. It occurs 46 days before Easter (40 days not counting Sundays). This year it fell on Feb 17th. I looked at wikipedia and thought it was interesting that here are the future dates of Ash Wednesday:

2011- March 9
2012- Feb 22
2013- Feb 13
2014- March 5
2015- Feb 18
