In Cod We Trust

It's time for Lent, which in St. Louis, means it's also time for Fish-Fry Fridays. In the basement of a local Catholic church, I got to enjoy my first fish fry with Ashleigh, baby Levi, and some former co-workers.

Happy Lent-ing, everyone.

Faith and Ashleigh Do D.C. (and Chicago, and St. Louis)

Last weekend, Faith made a visit to D.C. where she and her dear friend Ashleigh, and baby Levi boarded a train and made their way to St. Louis, via Chicago.

Just enough time for a trip around the gorgeous station - inside and out

collecting some yummy pastries for our long journey

Our sleeping car from D.C. to Chicago. Pretty spacious, really


So sad to leave Chicago

February 5th is a bittersweet day when we try to honor the memory of Faith's brother, Brian, and hold each other a little bit closer.
