The last day of winter break for my kids. Some schools had started back up.  So I saved two special activities for the last day.  It wasn't busy at all and the kids had a blast!

We first went to jaks warehouse.  N and Y had so much fun on the climbing ropes. They spent half of the time there.  They easily went to the top level multiple times.  It was fun seeing them so happy!

My oldest son Hunter participates in a parkour class in Crown Point weekly. After watching N do flips and such on the school jungle gym I knew he had to try it. I spoke with the manager and she allowed N, Y, and Hunter to join an upper level parkour class.  To say they loved it is putting it mildly.  They couldn't fall asleep afterwards! They've already started asking when is Monday so they can go again!

Witamy w Polsce - Welcome to Poland!

Well, after a very long day, I have arrived. I left NW Indiana at 4:00 pm on Saturday night and arrived at the hotel one hour outside of Warsaw, Poland at 7:00sh pm Sunday night, granted, I am 7 hours ahead of home. We brought over 19 pieces of luggage (humanitarian aid). It took over one hour to get everyone checked in and by the time we made it to the gate, we were just 1 hour or so from boarding. Unfortunately, we were delayed quite a bit. But we finally boarded and made it to Warsaw! But... somehow one piece of luggage has been lost or stolen. We are praying that it is found and gets to who needs it as it is EXTREMELY important.  I met Oksana, a young woman who has been fighting right on the front, going back and forth between Poland and Ukraine. However, this is not the first time that I have actually met her. She was the one that travelled with N and Y this past Christmas. She has been doing so much and fighting so hard. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.  We ...

Back to normal?

The great news is that the boys made it back to Ukraine safely! It was a long day of travel for them but they made it safely which is what I can only hope and pray for at this moment.  I want to use this post to update everyone on a few different things. First, the house feels very quiet. It is hard to say it is quiet with a 7, 3 and 8 month old in the house. There are things that I miss and see that remind me of those sweet boys. For example, we have 3 packages of Hawaiian buns. Why? Because Y LOVED to eat them with ketchup. It's weird driving what feels like a bus with empty seats. I have a few pairs of their shoes sitting out because we just could not fit everything in their bags.  And with all my sadness, comes the sadness of my kids. Hunter wrote something in school (see below). It says "I miss my friends. I feel alone." Hudson wanted to pick up donuts today and asked to pick up a donut for N and Y. We are all grieving. There are some rays of hope now and again. Y ha...

our last day together...

So the kiddos slept in late (nothing really new - only new part was Hudson NOT going into their room and banging on their heads to wake up).  As soon as N and Y woke up, I got a huge hug from both of them.  Over the last few days I've received so many hugs from them.  It makes me wonder how much physical connection they get when in the Ukraine.  No matter what I feel like I barely scratched the surface regarding how much love and affection these boys need.   The boys had to be at the airport by 630 pm.  Since I wasn't sure how the airlines would work that day(any cancelations or delays) I decided to get a hotel room to be close.  We were able to get into our room early so the kids could swim. We ordered in pizza for dinner.   By 6 it was time to get to the airport.  We all got in my car and headed out. When we arrived we had to make sure we got out all their stuff.  Each boy was taking home a large duffle bag, scooter, overflow...
