Dad's in Heaven...

Last night, quietly, he went....thank-you for your prayers, love and concern...so relieved to have him in a better place, so sad to say good-by....Alesia

Dad's in Hospice...

Mom is caring for him. Please pray that his last moments with her are touched by the grace, peace and presence of our Lord & Savior, Jesus. Pray for strength and wisdom for Mom. Remember Dad, as the puzzler, fisherman, hard worker, man with a sense of humor, quiet yet thoughtful, cribbage player, wonderful Grandpa, Dad, and husband.

Love...A & C

Almost all is well...



Sophia helped trick or treat with Andre & Natasha

We all celebrated and shared in their treasures!

It was a smiley evening...

We hope to see Dad this Friday, and think about him often. Sophia wrote about him in her homework.

Andre keeps doing strange destructive things...Natasha told the truth about something from last year in school, Katya's doing a lot of homework, Jonathan is eating and breathing hockey, Jaclyn is doing more and more music, tried a little "debate", is doing hockey and a few other things as well..Sophia & Natasha started their praise dancing this week, and still enjoy skating. Andre & James are hanging out together off and on and have started their hockey as well. All is "almost" well around here except the strange destructive acts, and I get a little tired and overwhelmed some days. Each day is gift though and I need to see it as just that.

Love from 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
