Today Davis attended his first church service. We met Jason this morning at church for the Ash Wednesday service.
I learned something--did you know that the ashes in biblical times were placed on a persons head who was in mourning? Now, we place the ashes on our forehead because we are in mourning over our sin. The preacher placed the ashes on my forehead and stated "Repent and Spread the Good News!"
I love that. I love reminders from GOD that he sent Christ to die for a screw up like me--so that I can repent and spread the good news. I guess GOD knows that I need constant reminders that I am worth saving.
So what are you giving up for LENT? Last year I gave up shopping--it was tough. This year I am giving up negativity. I know that is a totally broad thing to give up--but I want to focus especially hard the next 4o days on just how much GOD blesses me on a daily basis.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Memaw (now Great-Memaw)
We had an excellent dinner tonight to celebrate Memaw's Birthday! Davis is so excited that Great-Memaw and Great Grandpa Larry are now living in Houston. Now he can just hop in the car and go visit anytime he wants--he is also super excited because I have informed him that Memaw makes the world's BEST fried chicken. And yes, I am sucking up because she reads this blog and I am hoping to get chicken soon :)
Hanging out with Nana
Hanging out with Nana2 months old!
I cannot believe my little man is already two months old!! Where is the time going? This month we have had one BIG milestone:
I smile! Here is the tail end of a smile. I was changing his diaper early, early in the morning thinking how tired I was when Davis looked up at me--I started singing to him and he smiled at me! Suddenly I forgot just how tired I was--since then Jason and I have made it our mission in life to make him smile.
Mommy and Davis on Valentine's Day
Dad and Davis taking a nap
Davis' two month birthday was on Valentine's Day. He sported this awesome onesie to show the world who his Valentine is, mommy. Jason had him deliver me a Valentine wearing this--it was too cute. Davis had his two month check up on Friday--Dr. Lange said "He is thriving!" He now weighs almost 11 pounds (he weighed 10 pounds 15 ounces) and was nearly 22 inches long. He is actually pretty small for his age but he has started to outgrow some of his onsies-not in the length but in the tummy. I am pretty sure this is the only time in life when everyone gets excited that you are gaining weight and chubby.
We had a quiet Valentine's weekend as Davis was running his first fever and had a slight cold. So the three of us enjoyed a quiet weekend at home watching the Olympics. Sunday we stayed in our PJs all day--and ate donuts and read the paper in bed. Someday very soon Davis won't enjoy being that lazy but it was the perfect Valentine's day for our family of three. Two weeks ago we ventured to San Antonio...I will post those pictures soon. Davis had a blast on his first road trip and had a ball hanging out with Grammy and Papa. Hopefully, they will come for a visit soon.
