What a Busy Week.....

It has been a fun and busy week! On Sunday, September 23rd, my 'baby' turned 3! We had a pool party with other missionary friends and had a feast with hamburgers and cake! Jaryse had a great time and he loved opening his presents and listening to people sing "happy birthday" to him! He was dancing around and singing with them! He blew out his candle and loved the noise makers that Shelley bought for him and the other kids! I can't believe my baby is three! But, if you ask him, he's either 2 or 4! He has to be reminded that he is 3!

On that same day, my friend Mia came to Haiti! It is such a blessing to have her here! Jaryse felt special that she was here for his birthday and Ecrissa is really benefiting from all of Mia's gifts! Mia has experience with behaviour therapy, is fluent in sign language and just finished with Occupational therapy school. So, we have put her to work with little Miss Ecrissa! Mia has been going to school with Ecrissa to help the teacher learn ways to combat Ecrissa's behaviour issues in the classroom and helping teach all of us some sign language. She also set up a home program for learning language with Ecrissa that of course I have to continue once Mia leaves! YIKES! Please pray for me and my patience and even more for poor Ecrissa who has to spend 2 extra hours a day learning sign language and practicing her language skills with MOMMY!!!!!!!

Needless to say, the last 4 days have been full of wonderful blessings with my friend Mia here and the celebration of the wonderful little life of my baby boy Jaryse!

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!!!!
