POLAND 365 :: WEEK 13

April 1- This is Makayla, Karis' sweet friend. They became
fast friends when we moved here and have many things in
common, which is why we think they bonded so quickly.
They are both MK's who have dads that are pastors, both
have a back for being very silly (as you can see here) and
both born in August (just two weeks apart). We are thankful
for their friendship and for a spontaneous movie date today.

April 2-Had a long overdue conversation with a sweet friend
from back home. Those moments always lift our spirits and
bring much joy. As we talked, this was the view from our
bed, unfolded laundry (ha) and a world map. The map is
from our commissioning ceremony back in the states and if
you look closely will see notes written all over it from our
friends back home in Florida. This is my favorite part of the
room decor and I love walking by and reading the encouraging
words written all over the map. 

April 3-Warmer weather means we can finally hang clothes outside again and
be dry the same day. This is a luxury after living without a dryer since moving
here (which did take some getting used to for our family of five that produces
many, many loads of dirty laundry each week!)

April 4-Another spontaneous park date, ice cream included, after school
got out for the day. The kids are also very thrilled to have warmer weather!

April 5 - We feel really blessed to have friends who live very close to us,
and had the opportunity to watch their daughter for the day gave us many
opportunities to play in the yard and find snails. 

April 6 - When trash pick up is only every other week and recycle once a
month, we develop quite the pile of waste outside! This is very different for
us but we've gotten used to it now.

April 7 - You know, Olivia hanging out with
her best bud and taking selfies! This picture
made me and this little girl's mama crack up.
