Skating Show, Gardening,

Sophia & Natasha had their skating show! Yeah! It was great and Peter the man behind them, did 2 numbers one of which was a duo with Rita that was amazing! The girls had a great time.

The rest of us have been doing yard work, enjoying a somewhat quiet weekend with 2 skating shows & 2 hockey games, and 1 baseball practice. We just love it when it all works out so we can go to church and then to Sam's club after.

Andre & I planted some beautiful flowers in our yard - impatiens & coleus, and amidst all the weeds were about 5 beautiful perennials. I did push the mower a bit and need to do that a few times tomorrow & Tue. I like being outside after being a winter slug butt.

Tomorrow is our last day of phy-ed. We will have our last day of praise dance on Tue, and piano is coming to an end. That means that there will be more time for school, which we have needed. I have decided to give high scorers on tests the summer off, but those who "need improvement" will get extra time and lessons in the summer. We just need to keep the routine and steady growth in math & reading.

Sophia starts softball tomorrow.

Todays message at church was on our words..."death or life" is in them, what will we choose?

Prov 18: 21 "Death & life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat it's fruit."

Choose Life! Love Alesia & Chris



After the show, we had dessert and the kids had fun playing with these sticky ball things...that even stuck to the ceiling. It was a fun night, but, Friday, I was pretty tired out!  I always feel refreshed by Sunday night/Monday though! Thank- God for those small favors that keep us going.

PS..hope you were able to see the baby blue herons! Check out the link on my page. Fun to watch how they parent! The kids are getting a kick out of it.

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
