Our church is observing the Lenten season this year, which is new to me. However, instead of fasting from one thing for the entire time, we're fasting from different things each week. Some people will switch each week (like us), some will add the next thing (cumulative). We've done food (Greg and I fasted from dinners) and Movies/TV (I fasted from podcasts and youtube and Greg fasted from news websites). This week is social networks and internet. I'll be fasting from social networks and blog sites, and Greg will be fasting from webcomics and humor sites like lolcats.

Kids are doing well, possibly picking up colds but probably not. We're all looking forward to the weather warming up enough so we can spend some extended time outside.
