Happy Mother's Day

What better way to spend Mother's Day than with your children and a couple of friends who had busy husbands as well. We had a Mother/Child day sandwiched between 2 hockey games. With nummy ham, potatoes, fruit. Chris was on a work trip.

Our children had fun listening to the Twins, watching Veggie Tales, playing volleyball on our quiet street in the rain, and just being together.

We rec'd beds today for Katya & Natasha. Our moved went great last weekend despite 11 hockey games scheduled between the kids, and the rain. My 2 brothers came in full muscle and I don't ever remember them being as strong and helpful as they were last Saturday..esp moving the piano! We had a host of helpers from our church, work, family, and friends! THANKS. We just got our phone hooked up....same number... and our wireless, so we are "connected".

We are still on for our Open House, May 21, Sat 12-6. Come if you know us and know where we live. We look forward to seeing you! Invitations coming soon in the mail!

This week we host a piano recital, and hockey is pretty much stopping for a couple of months. We hope to head to the ballfield as a family and hit some singles or better.

Our struggles come with what to do when or next. We have a lot to do to get our previous home on the market, still have lots of school for the kids, and little/big jobs around our new home to tackle. We'll get there one step at a time.

Thanks again for all your support. We are more aware this time of year, what we were doing last year...so we are reminded of your support over the past year. All of you!

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
