 On our way to the Jackalope Freedom Festival we stopped off to see Mom and Kari at thier new place in Mesa.  Had a nice visit for a couple of days, playing games and swimming in the pool.

Maximus had his first time serving in the Holy Place during Vespers tonight, he did really well, he was pretty nervous but he came through like a champ.

A new homeschooling group as started at St. George Church!  Woo Hoo! :-) This is Father Lent and Sister Lent, their eyes are closed in prayer, their hands are lifted in supplication and service, their mouths are closed for they are fasting.  They have Seven Feet with which to hasten toward Pascha! Will you go with them?    After each week of Lent you remove one of the feet, when they are all gone it is Pascha! Finished product is up at home.
