Wednesday, short day..
Papa & Natasha Joy....................Katya & Olja
Olja, Sophia Grace, Mama.................Silly Papa
Andri Paul, & buddy.................................Silly Mama
After 10 years Olja is done tomorrow. It's ok, but sad to leave.
She is off to the University. We have her e-mail, and others.
Today was a short day. School is off this week for Easter Break.
The kids were going to a movie at 11, so we headed out.
Today was our first day in the last 2 weeks that we saw some negative behavior. It was all saved up for today..when we left, 3 boys were hurt or crying (one of which was Andryusha), all by little mistakes. Kids had been running crazy, and our sweet little Natasha Joy, was not so sweet.
In case I had been painting the "perfect" picture. The pictures above, are sweet though. And we don't mind seeing all sides of them.
Also added soon will be a page for hosting and adoption infomation. We use ECAS out of Plymouth. They have reunions, and picnics, so it would be fun if you choose to go with the same progam. They make it very easy (as easy as it can be...with all the paper trail).

Pray for those who persecute you....
Matt 5:11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven...."
Matt 5:44" But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of the Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear.....
Phil 4:5-9 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy - meditate on these things.
2nd Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
We adopted 4 older siblings from Ukraine in 2010 and hope we can help.
We will share what we learn and help you when we can. There are great supports here on this page. Sometimes it's one day, moment and breath at a time. And you're not alone. Love, Alesia & Chris
