Here’s a bit of what we’ve been up to since we moved into our apartment!
Lots of trips to Jysk, the Bed, Bed + Beyond of Sweden.

A visit with sweet friends from Kyiv! We met at the “beach” as they traveled to an orphanage outside of Odessa.




A trip to Ternopil to visit our family!
We had the best week really resting for the first time in months. We were traveling nearly every week from February until the time we left + haven’t lived in the same place for more than a week since March. It was beautiful in Ternopil + the kids THRIVED in the backyard with all the sunshine, bugs + neighbor chickens 😉
Yura turned 32 on Sunday, May 6!
We celebrated with his family the day before + he spent the evening serving at Camp LELA with the staff + local churches. We are so grateful for the gift he is to our family + how God has uniquely placed him back in his home country this year!
We’ve spent time at Camp LELA!
Yura is now helping with soccer for youth with autism on Mondays – Chambers loves to go with him!
This week they are building a few structures for Camp to be ready before the end of the month! Camp starts June 1 + we are excited to see what it’s like.

There will be more detailed updates in our next email that we won’t share on the blog, so if you want on the list just click here!
As always you can follow our daily shenanigans (including my experiences on the bus with 3 kids 😉 ) on instagram.
Grace + peace,
Yuriy + Madison + the three kiddos
