It's a New Year...

Somehow can't bring myself to say "Happy New Year"....with Dad gone and that hole still fresh.

Today we "celebrated" NY's eve with a skating show with Natasha & Sophia doing a duo. Jaclyn was able to get a ride to her practice, and we dropped off our little guys for their practice and then headed back to watch and it was sweet. We all had left over turkey (from Christmas!) for lunch today before heading out for - yes more hockey! Jonathan had a practice in the afternoon, and then a pizza party after. That was fun and everyone enjoyed some time talking and eating. Then we headed to Acapulco to watch the WILD lose to Phoenix...then home for yes...more pizza and movies (Ice Castles & the Proposal)....probably should have had the humor before the drama..but did it the other way around....both were cute movies.

Chris stayed at his folks tonight so he could drive Papa to Palm Springs early in the morning. We enjoyed watching the snow fall, but hope that it doesn't affect their travels.

It's 12:43 and I hear a bit of this and a bit of that..only a little fighting between Natasha & Jonathan before bed (that's to be expected at this hour)......

Anyway...hope we can get our driveway shoveled in time for church and hope you have a really good, peaceful, wonderful 2012...happy or not....Love A & C

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
