POLAND 365 :: WEEKS 43 & 44
 |
| October 28 - Our trip to Warsaw for some meetings allowed us a chance to also spend a little time exploring the city a little bit. Here is the main town square in Warsaw. Very lovely, but it was a very cold day! |
 |
| October 29 - More family time today, we chose to do something more kid friendly (but I think the adults had fun too!). We went to the science center and literally spent all day there, Olivia even got her nap in while we went to the space movie after lunch! We will totally go back sometime when we are in Warsaw if we can, this place was a huge hit for the whole family. |
 |
| October 30 - Church and meetings in the afternoon at one of the largest evangelical churches in Warsaw (and Poland possibly). It was a really neat experience to be able to worship with this group of people in Warsaw and even more cool to see and hear about all that God is doing in His church throughout their area! |
 |
| October 31 - So Halloween is not really a thing here in Poland (and to be honest we never really "celebrated" it in America) but for whatever reason, our kids have wanted to carve a pumpkin this year and so we set out to find a good carving pumpkin. And for a country that doesn't do such things, it was a little bit of a scavenger hunt to find a big pumpkin like this...but after several stops we found this perfect pumpkin! The kids painted it rather than carving and had a lot of fun. The funny thing is, we actually did have a couple Polish kids come to our house to trick or treat, we did not however have any candy to hand out...we laughed and said they must know we are the Americans in the neighborhood, haha! |
 |
| November 1 - this is All Saints Day here in Poland. This is a typical sight you will see in a cemetery on this day. It is a national holiday here and families go together to the cemetery to pay their respects to loved ones by placing flowers and candles on the graves. It is quite the sight to see! |
 |
| November 3 - A fun find here in Poland, and not a common thing that they sell here. I bought a couple cans and plan to use it at our little Thanksgiving meal for the green bean casserole! |
 |
| November 4 - This is Jenny's dad's birthday and as always, we are thankful for our modern technology that not only allows us to talk with family, but to SEE them as well. We had a lovely conversation with him on his birthday and respect and admire the wisdom his life has produced over the years. |
 |
| November 5 - Not only did our parents bring lots of goodies for the kids when they came to visit, they brought goodies for the adults too! Pumpkin in a can, although not the most healthy, was one of the requested items Jenny had and so pumpkin pies are in the plans for our upcoming Thanksgiving meal! |
 |
| November 6 - This is a rare sight to see these days. A lot of times they are fighting, but we are also seeing more and more glimpses of their budding friendship occur and we thank God for a sweet bond already there and pray for more depth and joy to abound in their relationship as they grow up. |
 |
| November 7 - A little bedtime reading and diffusing oils to help us get to bed. Little known fact to some, but we (mostly Jenny) have not slept too well since moving to Poland, but find that taking the time to wind down in the evening does help a little bit! |
 |
| November 8 - Jenny traveling home on public transportation from a ladies evening Bible study. Cold and rainy/wet days have begun and make the bus/tram rides a little more frigid! |
 |
| November 9 - So we found that you can buy vanilla extract here (although it took us a while at first to find where they sell it) but it also comes in very small bottles and is very pricy. So we did a little research and found out that making our own is much cheaper and taste delicious in recipes! |
