My little girl got her ears pierced!!!

Little Miss Ecrissa is always wanting me to put jewelry on her when I put mine on. Rings, necklaces, watches, bracelets, and even earrings! She also wants me to put my make-up on her too! She is a typical little girl that loves to get dolled up and look at herself in the mirror and then tell mommy how beautiful that little girl is! Of course, I always agree!!!!!!


So, today I took my little girl into the pediatricians office in Petion-ville and got her ears pierced. I felt really bad because I had no idea how to warn my baby that this was going to hurt. I do not have the signs for those words yet, and she doesn't know those signs either. So, the first one was pretty easy to set up for and do, cause she wasn't expecting pain at all! You should have seen the look of horror on her face when she felt that horrible pain though! Tears immediately began streaming down her face and she was so angry with me!!! I had to give a little giggle and hug her, then show her the beautiful earring in the mirror! She was quite pleased, but not so interested in the second one!!!!! We did get through it and she was happy with the earrings, but quite disgusted in her mother!!!!!! I love doing these fun Mommy/Daughter things with Ecrissa. I am blessed to be her mommy!!!!

how beautiful!!! - FYI, my daughter's deaf & the sign for 'hurt' is: the two index fingers move to & from each other to represent the throbbing sensation associated with pain. - as they're touching, you place them on your body where it hurts or will hurt (both fingers touching together placed at the ear means the ear hurts or will hurt, etc.) - here's a good site to use in the future http://commtechlab.msu.edu/Sites/aslweb/browser.htm - HTH!

Art, Ecrissa, and her friend!!!

So, I think, Ecrissa has an imaginary friend and she is so cute with this little friend. She will often look off to the the side and use sign language with this little friend. Sometimes I'll tell Ecrissa to "come" and she'll actually look up at her "friend" and sign "wait", telling her friend to wait for her there!!! It's so cute. Anyway, the two video's are with my friend Art, who apparently was introduced to Ecrissa's friend. He even got to share his food with her! My digital camera takes video without sound, so there isn't any sound with this, but really, the only sound missing is Ecrissa's giggling all the way through!!!!!! This is the second bit, where you can actually see Ecrissa giggle!!!!! My little girl sure does keep me on my toes and laughing!!!! Gotta love her to pieces!!!!!

We are home.

Wow!!!!! What a day!!!!! We (and I mean all three of us!!!! Wow, my kids are in the states!!!! What an amazing thing!) have arrived in MI and made it safely to my dad's house. It was a long day, but the kids did really well. They loved the airplane and Jaryse loved looking at "the city" as we flew over Miami last night. I held it all together until we landed in Miami and I heard the pilot or whoever say "welcome to Miami" at that point I cried. I couldn't believe I had actually made it to the USA with my two little munchkins. I had a smooth time through immigration both in Port au Prince and in Miami, and both flights went smoothly. I am so thankful to the Lord for protecting us through this whole ordeal and making these last few steps easier than the first few! I am still in a bit of shock, although, it might just be that I am FREEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZING. Maybe after I get used to the cold my brain and body will work a little more efficiently! I am so t...

So, today at about 2:37, I was driving and I prayed to the Lord, Father, I know this isn't too big for you! I really really would like passports today. I know the office is almost closed, but Father, please, let them release my passports, if the guy has already checked, please lay it on his heart to check again and let the office release them! I prayed this prayer, until I parked my car, about 2:40, walked into a store, walked out and noticed a missed call at 2:45, I called it back, it was the guy who was checking on passports---WE GOT THEM!!!!!! WE HAVE OUR PASSPORTS!!!!!!!!! Did you hear a really loud OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was me this afternoon! I am so very very excited! I can hardly think straight! Thank you for all your prayers!!!! I know they work! I see it in my life everyday, and I am convinced! Prayer is powerful!!!!!! Praise the Lord for He is GOOD!!!!
