I was told that I needed to post a new blog by my friend and co-worker,Barbara, so since I have a few minutes today....
I personally have been soo busy. I am taking my final three classes to get my master's degree. I graduate in May!!!!! This time I am going to my graduation. When I graduated from MTSU for my bachelor's, the graduation was the same day as a BBQ contest. Being the good wife that I am...the BBQ contest won out. Later I was kinda sad later that I didn't attend graduation. So, I am attending my graduation this time. The classes have been online, which is FABULOUS!! I don't have to leave my kiddos and I even took two classes while we were in Ukraine. Anyway, no one is reading this blog to hear about me, soo.........
On Thursday, Jeff, the kids, and I packed up four boxes of clothing, shoes, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and toys. Then we drove to Nashville to a Ukrainian family who regularly ships stuff to Ukraine from a Pentacostal church out of Chattanooga. It was EXTREMELY affordable and we were so excited to do it. Zhenya and Leeza had a blast helping us find things to send to their friends they left behind. In about 6 weeks, our boxes should arrive to Ochakiv at both Zhenya and Leeza's former homes.
Speaking of the Ukrainian family in Nashville, my kids totally love them. We saw them twice this week. By the second visit, you would have thought my kids had known them forever. They are a close knit family and welcomed us right in to their home. On Tuesday, they fed us a fabulous Ukrainian meal. The kids were so excited. I have attempted to make things familiar to Ukrainian food, but I am not that skilled at it yet.
Today was beautiful, so we took the kids for a bike ride on the greenway in our town. They had so much fun and it was a great family event that got them out in the fresh air. We are so over the cold and snow. Now we are praying for NO MORE SNOW! If we have anymore snows day, it is going to be taken out of our Spring Break...which we don't want. We are taking the kids to Disney World, and Zhenya is so excited to meet Buzz Lightyear. His only disappointment is that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will not be there. The child is obsessed with them!!
Leeza is sick again. Nothing too serious, but she has a stuffy nose and cough for the third time since we've been home. She is crabby patties when she doesn't feel well. Right now, she is taking a short nap with papa. It took forever to get her to lay still long enough to nap. I may regret it later when I can't get her to sleep. Though I can just put in a movie and she will be out like a light!!
Well not much else going on in the Fellers family!

Who did you ship through? We have so much to send!
There is a Pentacostal church in Chattanooga that ships stuff every few months. We are sending the stuff with them. It is great, because it is delivered by someone from the Pentacostal church in Odessa!! Isn't that where your girl came from? Jeff is going back in June and plan to go to Odessa. If we ended up in Ukraine for any length of time, it will probably be in Odessa as well.
I'm still reading your blog! Disney fan that I am, I can't wait to hear about your trip and see lots of pictures!
Love to read your blog. Congrats. on your master's degree.
Yes, Alina Grace is from Odessa! WOW! What kind of stuff do they bring? Can you email me? I'd love to hear more!
Odessa is AMAZING. We truly enjoyed our time there and are excited to go back.
We have bows if Jeff wants to bring some with him :)
