This post is just a collaboration of random photos from this spring to document life and events in the life of our family.
The Polish schools have a celebration called Karniwal, where the kids get to dress up and have class parties for the day. I'm sure this celebration is one of the few that are in no way connected to the Catholic faith, and most don't know the meaning behind this fun celebration. We don't either, but we gladly take part............at least the kids do.
This year, Arin went as Pippi Longstocking:
At Easter, Kaleb got the honor of role playing Jesus in his class program. He didn't have any lines this year as the action was played out while a narrator was speaking off stage. Kaleb really enjoyed the honor he was given !!!
Getting ready to start.............finally, a smile for the camera.....
Jesus, helping God create the world.....
Nailing Jesus's hands to the cross....
The take-home story was that each of us are really the guilty ones, whose sin put Jesus on the cross. Then He conquered and defeated that ultimate punishment for our guilt when He rose again.
We got to celebrate Easter at our Polish church Misja Laski. I was thankful everyone was well................it's been a rough spring on the Hesskew clan as far as health.

In April, Kirstin had the opportunity to attend a women's conference in Naples, Italy. This was organized through a ministry called Pure Joy. They fund missionary women at these retreat for spiritual refreshment and encouragement. They bless us beyond measure and cover all costs except for transport to/from the retreat hotel. It was a wonderful time spent with other women and with the Lord !!! I needed a few days after the retreat just to process all the spiritual feeding!
Here are a few shot of Naples................
