It snowed today!!! we had so much fun playing outside!!! After all of the layers I put on the girls, I forget to put on my gloves!!! Oh well, it was well worth having cold hands for a little while.

Happy Birthday to MEME

We are back in Poland now! Before we left, we had an unofficial b-day party for Iza! Her b-day is on Sunday! Can you believe she will be 3 years old on Sunday??? Irek's Mom is throwing her a huge fun party!! I can't wait! It will be so much fun!

Pics...eel...

Here is one of Olivia's many funny faces:

EEL....

One of the first things Irek did when we arrived was to go fishing!! He and John caught more eel and smoked them along with some catfish. I am not sure why I feel the need to always share eel stories on my blog,! Whenever I find pics like these I am very amused!

Iza and Olivia are doing really good. They make us laugh constantly. I am so thankful to Jesus for my precious little babies!!

I just started reading through the book of Daniel in the Bible tonight. It is really cool. I went to a really fun home school co-op at our church on Thursday and took Izabella so she could play and learn and they did a craft about Shadrach Meshach and Abednego and the burning furnace. It was a really neat craft. I hate to admit this, but I had forgotten many of the details.... Anyways, the book of Daniel is very cool and I am enjoying all of the details!!!

Holly came to visit last week and it was so great to see her!! Izabella makes her read to her the entire time she is here!!


I hope you all are doing great!! Hugs!

Izabella's "Apple Biters"...

One cool visitor!

Check out this cool Praying Mantis on the back porch! The kids thought that was super cool!

Hello!

Hello! We have had quite a busy week so far! On Monday, Izabella got impressions for her little flipper at the denstist office. We call the new teeth she will have her "Apple biters". If we refer to them as new teeth, she gets scared. She will get this little partial on the 5th of October! I can't wait. I need to post before/after pictures! Irek is working 12 hour shifts and his off days are Mondays! So I am happy that he will be able to go with us on the 5th!
Olivia has a doctor visit tomorrow for immunizations!
Our old condo needs to be rented so please pray we can get really great renters, soon! :) I thought I would be sad when I walked in there for the first time in 2 years, but I wasn't. I used to cry just when we drove past our home here. I am so thankful to the Lord for the peace and joy he has given me in living in Poland!
Olivia turned 16 months old Monday! She is growing up fast and says all sorts of funny things. Her favortie thing to say is "Up". She climbs everything! Half the reason I cannot blog as much as before is due to her CLIMBING! She also loves to slide down stairs as fast as possible on her belly.
Izabella is so sweet. She makes me laugh so much. She just spent the last 30 minutes dancing in a circle to some music! She loves to dance and sing! Olivia stopped the cd player and Iza shouted, Oh no, London bridgeis stopped. She just connects the is to bridge like it is all one word.

Sweet Pics...

I am happy to report that all of the blogs I follow are back now, so I guess it was just a weird thing. Anyways, I love this picture of my sweet baby girls! My cousins Alex and Rebecca came over and took this picture! It has been a really nice, restful week in the US!

Where did they go?

For some reason, all of the blogs I normally follow have disappeared from my dashboard. :( I hope I can find all of my friend's blog addresses! Has this happened to anyone else?
