Thankful , New Years Eve!

В преддверии Нового года хочу всем написать огромное спасибо! Мы получили множество конвертов и посылок. Мы благодарны что вы решили поучаствовать в судьбе двух мальчишек и также спасибо что решили благословить нашу семью материальными благами! :) Вы не представляете что это значит для нас и нашей семьи! Божьих вам благословений!


On the eve of the New Year, I want to thank everyone! We received a lot of envelopes and packages. We are grateful that you decided to participate in the fate of two boys and also thank you for deciding to bless our family with material things! :)You have no idea what this means for us and our family! God's blessings to you!


Here is only some pictures... There is more personal gift that kids will open on the 1st. (we open presents on New Years).

We didn't plan this

I have no idea how to even explain what had happen but by the end of 2015 we end it up with two new daughters!

We brought Rose home on December 20st, and on December 28th one more girl joined our family.
This new girl came to us via adoption disruption. I have no idea how long she will stay with us, and how everything will work, but for now she is our daughter.

We started 2016 with nine children. I know that God doesn't make mistakes.

A little story, about our 2nd new daughter:
 On November 22nd, a mom contacted me. She needed some help with one of her children. She asked us if we can help find a family for her 15 year old daughter.

We did try to find a family, we considered different options, and then decided to take her into our family.

God is amazing God, and even we didn't plan this, but looks like it was His plan. We have no idea why it all happened, and we do have a lot of questions, but for now we are enjoying our two new daughters!

Only God knows why things happen the way they do, and only He knows what our future is, but we are trusting Him. There is a lot I can't share here, and just trust me, we know that this is God's plan for her to be here.

Her name is Ilianna, yes, sounds the same as Elliana. It s the same name, just spelled a little bit differently. Now we have two Ili/Elli-anas, and three Daniels. :)

Welcome to our family Ilianna!

***These pictures we took on New Year Day. This is the day when we opened our presents.

Merry Christmas and Happy 2014!

Wishing you Happy New Year!

This was first Christmas and New Year for our family, as family of 9. It was not perfect, and me being sick through all the holidays didn't help at all. 

Our family grew  by 2 more boys during last year. In past 18 month 4 boys joined our family and they all came with their own issues and trauma. Our holidays were not even close to peaceful, but we are so blessed! We all tried to concentrate on positive and just survive! Today is first day of new year, and it was a little better!  We looking forward to this year and waiting to see what God's plan for our family! Love my kids, and just so blessed to have them. Holidays are huge triggers for kids, but its getting better and better. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!

I just want to say Merry Christmas,my post is really late, we just been really busy, and I am out of energy :)

We had a nice and peaceful Christmas,we  talked about little Jesus, celebration, and just enjoyed our days together. Sergey was off for 4 days, and we had awesome family time. Usually Christmas Eve we do open one present (pajamas), but this year we decided to  do something different, and we went to church, Monday evening was service for kids. A reason why we did that, it's because out two little ones had a little poem to say, and were opening up church service by performing on the stage with the youngest group of our church.

I am so proud of them, DD-Denny was very scared to do it, and ElliAna is the youngest (2 year old)  from the whole group (she talks better than DD) They did great :)

All my little babies :) 

Christmas Day we watched movies, opened presents, and had a great time. A lot of food, cookies, hot chocolate, candies and popcorn.

 Sergey's mom came and did spent some time with us. It was first Christmas with a family for DA-Danik and SN-Stasik, they were so cute, and enjoyed every moment of it. I loved to watch their excitement of everything, and all little things. For last 4 weeks I had only one question from one little happy boy"how many days till we will open all the presents?" By the time we were ready to open presents SN's presents were all wrinkled, with little holes from his little hands. He touched, checked, felt his presents many times a day:) I was just repeating , "SN don't  worry it will not go anywhere, it's for you, it will be here when we will be ready to open":))

It was magical Christmas, it was full of joy!
