Our growing and going family…

In about one month we’ll have a new little daughter, Elena Sofia Mielonen is due on November 1st!  We’re excited to explore a new personality to enjoy and love on. Emma is becoming more and more excited and we’re enjoying all of her thoughts on how she’ll “help” her sister. As God has worked in[…]

Summer update!

We have not been very good at updating this blog, there are not really any reasons or excuses just focusing on family life! Please remember November 1st, 2012!  Why?

Leaving the fog

We have not been good at updating people in the past six months in regards to our plans with Poland.

All winnings/gifts are tax deductible.[…]

Fund raising ideas

Fund raising is not a of strong points for us, while we have incredible supporters, we just don’t have the time to put everything into all the details to kick off large fund raising events.  So, we’ve been creating some “grass roots” stir amongst friends, doing some “green light” thinking, and looking at a number[…]

Fund Raising: IT Tech work for Poland.
