Happy Easter, Our Home, Our Family

Here are some photos from our day. Our family has voted to keep the blog going. However, it may be others doing it besides me! It is an easy way for everyone to see us, especially our friends from Ukraine. I am hoping to start our scrapbooks again that I can make on the computer. Maybe this summer when we're settled more. Well anyway, here are some fun photos from the day, our home and our family. Love and God Bless you especially today. Alesia & Chris


Photos from our new home "Big House in the Little Woods".....

Our back yard/pond/hockey rink....living room............dining room.




If the floors looked scuffed, it's because they are..in the process of being sanded and refinished. First photo is looking from the living room into hall & dining room. Second is the kitchen. Chris is the main guy on doing the floors with top notch help from his Uncle Mark, friends Jeff & Tony, his Dad Louis, Expert 3M Wood Floor guy, Galen, all of ouy immediate family at one time or another, 2nd cousin, Ethan, and probably more that I am forgetting!

This is our 3 Season Porch. Hope you can come sit with us awhile and listen to the frogs croaking!




Easter Day photos...........We sanded, vacuumed and coated the floor today after church, managed 2 egg hunts, and had a wonderful turkey dinner (all children are quiet and sleeping as we write this)!


Turkey (and Paskha) dinner, Andre searching for eggs, Andre, Jaclyn & Sophia with baskets.


Making Ukranian Eggs (the American way..we'll do better next year!), Katya & Natasha, and a beautiful full family photo after church, with our eggs for a snack at our current home.


The kids made painted eggs, and Ukrainian bread (Paskha). Sophia was in charge of the painted eggs.


Katya & Sophia at our new home, all the kids just talking about the day, before turkey dinner.

2 other photos............

Andre's loose teeth a few weeks back...and Katya talking to her friend on skype. She is really good at Skype and the computer now too. Sophia had a 12 year party at an ice skating rink. Lots of girls and fun.

Love Alesia & Chris

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
