Sophia burying Andri at our Church camping weekend. Sophia & I posing for a picture before leaving the park for the rest of the weekend.
Natasha & her friend Brenna. Brenna's family is hosting a little boy from Ukraine this summer also. Natasha has a knack for making friends easily. Natasha and Mama at her birthday party.
Natasha opening presents. Chris wrestling with James, Andri, and cousin Owen.
Sophia & Katya swimming at the birthday party, like sisters. It blesses my heart to see all of them loving each other. They all come and go from this moment by moment, so when I can catch it on film, it really encourages me.
Jonathan & Natasha celebrated their birthday's together. Jonathan turned 9, and Natasha is almost 10.
Here's to the Fountain of Youth!We had a better week. A little blow out here and there. We found out that our children are basically healthy, and needed shots. Chris talked with our "parenting" doctor, and that gave us some helpful encouragement.
Now we need to start enrolling in schools for fall, signing up for soccer clinics, football, hockey, and dance for fall, and keep bonding.
We're really excited that our kid's friends are here from Ukraine, and at the same time we realize that they need to spend time with their new families, we just wish we could see them all everyday! It's like a part of home came to visit us and our children, but really they are just here on the adventure our children were on last summer.
We just want you to know that we feel as though we are going 2 steps forward 1 step back, so for the most part we're going in the right direction! Chris and I are a team, the kids are really trying their best. Alesia gets pretty exhausted by Friday. Chris is still really supportive. The weather is nice. God is good!
Love from Chris & Alesia
