Cassie has made some wonderful friends at school this year in Winnipeg. Some of those friends are Teren, Elyse, Norah, Savannah, and many more that I (mom) can’t remember. But of course she still remembers her wonderful friends at her school in Kyiv. What a blessing to have friends all over the world!

Serenity Inn. Thank you so much for praying for us. We had a fruitful time away at ‘Serenity Inn’ (a cabin that some kind people let us use for a few days). After spending time in worship, reading the book of Titus, and both personal and prayer together, we felt that we came away from our time…

We are home in Canada for a year to be with family, supporters, and our home church. It has been wonderful so far! We have met many new people and reconnected with long time friends and family. Time is flying by, and we realized that we need to take some time together to really listen…

Cassie’s teacher has been just the right fit for Cassie this year! She has inspirational quotes all over her classroom just like Cassie does around her own room. She also has lots of reading assignments which is one of Cassie’s favorite things to do.

Jay has discovered hockey! It must be the Canadian water. He loves collecting hockey cards with his new friends at school and playing hockey at recess, and going to hockey games. On Sunday he went to his first Jets game and had a blast!

He is loving his class, all of his classmates, and all the fun things that happen at school everyday! He has been working hard at home and at preschool for the past few years so that has made grade 1 an easy transition. He brings our family joy and fun with his silly ways.

1) Are you really coming home for a whole year? Yes, with the children in school now (they grow up fast!) it makes sense for our furlough year to correspond to the school year. We will be back at the end of June and stay until the summer of 2019. 2) What does it mean…

Mom- So Kai, what do you like best about being six? Kai- I actually don’t like getting older, but I like birthdays. I like staying little. We like him little too. He can read, ride a bike, and do so many big boy things! Happy 6th Birthday Kai!

The work we do in Ukraine and all over Eastern Europe/Western Europe is very rewarding. We love it! But one of the hardest things is being far away from family and friends. This past month we had Ben’s sister Lisa and her whole family come and be with us for a week after they spent…

Well, it is official! He is now 8, and he wanted to have a big party with his friends playing lazer tag. We negotiated a little and decided he could do the big party if he was not expecting any gifts from us. It was a bit of a struggle, but the lazer party won…

Every year we report on what we have done in the past year and what is coming up to our home church and our supporters. We thought some of our friends and family might be interested in reading it as well, so here it is :) Let us know if you have any questions. 2017…

So the other day Cassie tells me she has made a fort. It was a little corner in her room where the dresser is pulled out a bit from the wall and a blanket covers the entrance. I thought this would be fun for just one day, but she has been sleeping and reading in…

One day we were in the shopping mall and I wanted to test Jay’s ability to read Russian cyrillic. I pointed to a sign and asked Jay- “Can you read that?” He said, “No, the words are too blurry Mom”… and that is when I knew. After a few tests at the eye doctor it…

We are so thankful for a white Christmas- it has been snowing for over a week and it is getting deeper :) We’ve built snow slides, snowmen, snow forts, and a snow volcano. We really enjoy snow, especially during the Christmas season. Tomorrow we will go to church and make a gingerbread house in the…
