I enjoyed the retreat, thanks for asking. After the retreat on hospitality I did spend some time practicing it, and life is a little busy across the board. Rare morning naps, so I may try to catch up on some book posts!

Today is Ash Wednesday. I remember your lovely post/pic from when Kate was a baby.
We went again this year, Kate’s never missed an Ash Wednesday.
I think Shrove Tuesday pancakes somewhere (free at iHop, at a local church, at home…) and then Ash Wednesday services is a good family tradition.
My five-year-old’s comment to my wife upon returning home from our Ash Wednesday service:
“Papa put dirt on my face.”
Oh, and how I became “Ren” up there I’ll never know.
