Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras Parade at Sacred Heart. Andrew played drums for the parade. Owen attended the parade with Sam's class.

The kids had Monday and Fat Tuesday off for the holiday. We did not go anywhere for the days off.

2nd Grade Field trip to Landrum's

Sam started Piano Lessons

Sam has showed interest in taking piano lessons. He has mentioned it off and on since last year. So I did some research and found that USM has a piano institute. We signed up Sam for 14 lessons with Chris Dixon who is a PhD student for music. He started on Jan 29th and took 5 lessons. Then USM closed (along with every other school in America) because of the coronavirus. Because of this, Sam will start back in the fall with his lessons.

February 2020

Two fun things happened on February 2, 2020. 

1 - Andrew served at mass at St. Fabian for the first time. This was an ordeal. Since he is not in the CCD program - he kept getting looked over. But luckily he has a persistent momma. 

2 - The super bowl - ha! Such a big event - not really. But we enjoy watching it with friends. We went to the Rhodes for craw-fish and hanging out. Then we went up to the Canebrake County Club to watch the game. We stayed until half time. I don't know why they put this game on a Sunday. 

NOLA Pelicans

We have become Pelicans fans. Zion Williams is a new player - first round draft pick. We bought good seats for the Pelicans and Boston Celtics game. Andrew loves all things Boston so it was a perfect game for us to go to.

We have the BEST time. After that game - Owen and I bought season tickets for the 2020-2021 season. Just the weekend games.

We can not wait to start going more. The games are so much fun.

2020 Catholic Schools Week

Catholic Schools week was at the end of January. It is a fun week for the kids as well as a week to donate items to our community leaders. 

The picture with Fr. Mark is from Andrew's class. They collected items for St. Thomas. Sam's class collected items for the Mayor's office. 

First post of 2020 - School

Pictures of the boys at Sacred Heart. One picture is Andrew pointing to his art that Mrs. Baker put up in the hall.

The other picture is of the boys waiting with me for a PTO meeting. This banner is located at the back of the high school chapel.

Holiday Progressive Dinner

Our neighborhood friends got together to have a progressive dinner. This was our first year so we did countries. And we did meals at each house. That was alot of food.

The Drakes and Clarkes had America

The Welfords and Rhodes had Mexican

Us and The Lees had Ireland

and then we ended the night at Amanda and Roberts for dessert.

It was such a fun night - as the pictures show - we did wear tacky sweaters. 

Christmas Festivities

This post is all the fun holiday things we did this year. Sacred Heart had Christmas concerts, Cub Scouts had a Christmas meeting - Santa even visited. Then we spent time with the Munton's a few days before the 25th.
