Easter with the Intemanns

We had a great Easter here in Poland this year. We tried really hard to make sure that the kids knew the real reason we celebrate Easter and not just the traditions of the new clothes, the bunny and eggs. We did those things but made sure that they knew that those things did not make Easter - Easter. Some friends of our sent Mikaila and Ethan new outfits for Easter. They did a good job of picking them out. The pants didn't fit Ethan (my fault) so we had him in jeans with his spiffy new shirt. We had to get a sweater for Mikaila because it is still cold here. We got to spend some time with our friends who live in Kraków and also got to hear a sermon in English at church. We pray that you all had a wonderful Easter!

Easter - Coloring the Eggs

Thanks to our wonderful pastor and his wonderful family we got to color some eggs for Easter (he brought the stuff for us when he came for a visit). We debated doing it because we had not been able to find any white eggs. They are all brown here! We decided to try it anyways and see how they turned out. They turned out really nice and the kids (and mommy and daddy) had a fun time.


Ethan really enjoyed coloring his eggs. He did a great job!



Mikaila is being patient by holding her egg in half way so she can make a cool one with 2 colors on it.


We got to get together with our friends the Dowdys (Joe, Becca, Will and Liz) for Easter Sunday. We were just going to stay home in Katowice, but they called and said "hey, do you want to come over and hear Joe preach and then we can hang out and color eggs and eat lunch?" So we said "hey, sounds like fun. Sure we'll come on over." It was an extra blessing to get to spend Easter with them.


This is the guys coloring table.




This is where the girls colored their eggs.

Easter - The Egg Hunt

Mikaila and Ethan with Will and Liz Dowdy. They were waiting for Bryan and Joe to hide the eggs for them to hunt down.

I don't know what is so funny about what is in the bag. Bryan might see the one that was squished because Ethan stepped on it!?

The Kids Goofing Around

We took these pictures about a week ago. Mikaila and Ethan were playing around and had fun making the funny poses and faces. It was a rare moment because as some of you know, Mikaila hates having her picture taken.

Prague - We had a wonderful time

This is Bryan and Stacey in the Old Town Square.


A famous clock - on every hour, 3 doors above the clock open up and the apostles come out and spin around. It is a main attraction that people gather around to see most every hour.


Here is a picture of Ethan with a friend of ours. Her name is Talitha. She was our next door neighbor during our training time in Virginia. It was great to see how much she had grown.

Our Prague Trip

Here are some pictures from our Prague trip in Feb/March.


This is Mikaila and Ethan riding on the train to Prague. They really enjoyed it and Bryan enjoyed not having to drive the long way.

Kto to jest? Gdzie jesteście?

Translation - Who is this? Where are you (plural)?
We are Bryan and Stacey Intemann and we also have two wonderful kids. We are missionaries with the International Mission Board. We are currently in our first term serving in Poland. We have had our challenges but through it all God has been and will always be faithful. We are in the middle of learning the language and culture of Poland and developing friendships with the Poles that we come into contact with. Please remember to pray for us and the people of Katowice, Poland.

It's time

I guess it's time that we join the blogging world. I hope you enjoy reading about our crazy lives. I don't know exaclty what we will share here but we hope you enjoy! This is our most recent family picture taken - Christmas 2005.
