polska | And 2 Makes Crazy

I mean, seriously! We could not have asked for a more beautiful day of weather to celebrate Poland’s Independence Day!

And we, meaning my awesome family, celebrated true American style—all dressed to a T in Polish colors: white and red!

We ate Polish flags for breakfast and sang patriotic Polish karaoke and delivered homemade Polish and American flags with the traditional rogale to our neighbor who lives alone and has no family.

We went into town and watched the March and fed and chased pigeons.

Wait.

What do pigeons have to do with Poland?

Completely nothing. It’s a European thing 😉

The night ended at a restaurant off the square and ice cream for dessert.

Reflecting upon today, we thanked God that we live in a country that is free and safe. A country that provides an education for our children and allows us to worship Him freely.

We may be Americans celebrating Polish Independence Day, but we do so with as great of pride of country as our fellow Poles.

Thank you, Poland, for this opportunity to live in your land—and thank you, our Polish friends, for being a country of unending resilience and an example of freedom!

We love you!

A month ago, my husband and daughter were on a different continent—Asia—more about that later! While they were there, my Littles and I (Max and Jo) visited the BIG CITY — #Poznan.

Needless to say, Rich and I lived in this big city for 9 years—Ada for 5—but Max and Jo never. And so I cherished every.shot.i.took of my precious Littles as they ran and chased and smiled and played in the beautiful old square (Stary Rynek).

Here are some fun photos. Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them.
