Happy Birthday Jaclyn



It's Jaclyn's14th birthday and she just had a few little requests...Lego Star Wars computer game (which happens to over heat my lap top!), shopping with Mom in the morning for fabric & the computer game, and ice cream at Nelson's. We had an early start so even when we were ready for ice cream, we were too early, but we'll take her tonight after her little violin stint with a choir. We baked a cake too.

Katya is busy organizing and delivering her fund raisers, and getting good grades. Sophia is playing softball and loving it. Natasha is also playing softball and loving it, and is doing well. Jonathan is in baseball, some hockey, and having fun with his brothers. Andre & James are playing baseball and having fun with that. All are doing well, and plugging away at school.

Chris had walking pneumonia or some virus/lung bug this week and even fainted at one point from dehydration! It was a 911 call - stop - we're ok moment...I dialed and talked, but we decided to wait as he came-to, and crawled to the couch, drank, sweated, and slept a lot. He is at about 80%, but tires easily after exertion.

I am starting to get my 2nd wind in the summer, mowing a bit, watching our seeds grow, watering and keeping up with the kids. It's almost like I'm getting geared up for school this summer...so might as well go with it. It was HOT today, so I did a few things outside after shopping/lunch, and now we're watching hockey and playing computer in the basement while Chris rested from taking the kids to ball this morning and playing with the boys.

It's cool down here and we don't have our air on yet. It's a pretty relaxed day despite loads of laundry, and misc. chores we need to do...we don't usually use the computer much, so it does really keep the kids busy. I think it's been 2-3 months since we've had "computer time"...so GO NY RANGERS! And we'll keep you "posted" in the future!

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
