Ecrissa's swinging accomplishment!

Hi everyone! I know it's been a while, but as always, there are computer issues and toddlers and work etc, etc!!!!!! Anyway, so far the holidays have been wonderful! We havent' even gotten to Christmas yet and my children have received a few gifts from friends here in Haiti and we all feel very blessed! I am very excited because my mom blessed me with a new computer so hopefully I won't have as many computer issues in the upcoming months!

Donors for me and Ancheri Care have been so generous as well! We were able to get a car and that has enabled us to go up the mountain to an orphanage there and make the running around for the medical visa for Emmanuel easier and more timely! It's been such a blessing to be able to do the things that need to be done in a timely manner! Thank you so much for your love and support!

The kids are progressing so well! Ecrissa is learning more and more signs all the time and so is Jaryse! The are just amazing! Ecrissa is also getting stronger and stronger each day and is more and more able to keep up with the other kids in her class! She is able to "pump" the swing and swing all by herself and there are some kids in the class that are unable to do that! You go girl!!!!!!

Have a wonderful Christmas!!!!

We love all of you!

Cheri Kay, Ecrissa and Jaryse

I am back!!! LOL!  It's been awhile since I've done any blogging!  When I looked at the last blog entry, it was 9 days before I left for China to pick up my baby girl!  I guess things got a little to busy to keep up with blogging....to say the least.  Thinking back, I remember that last week and a half.  I was a tornado of emotions, the list of things on my "to do" list was longer than the Mackinaw Bridge and I had no idea how much my life was going to change! I have to admit, I have loved being a momma of three!  I seriously believe that I am the luckiest person in the entire world. I really do like blogging.  It's good for me.  It helps me process some of the crazy in my life.  Believe me, as a single full time working momma of three kids with some special and unique needs, things can get a little crazy around here. The thing that I have been thinking about lately is HEALTH.  I mean, it seems so simple and yet it is so complicated.  Physical health, mental h

Overwhelmed with gratitude!

Yesterday was a hard one for me!  Not the hard that has you sad and crying or feeling beat up or anything.  But, the hard was keeping my brain focused! LOL!  My brain is a hot mess people!!!  I feel like I have so many loose ends to tie up before we leave for China in 9 days....yes, I said it, 9 days!!!!!  And my brain does not stay on one topic or project or even thought long enough to complete ANYTHING!!! LOL Insomnia is my close friend when I get like this!  I will fall asleep as soon as I get into bed, into a deep beautiful sleep....for 2 hours. Then: BOOM! Wide awake! Wide awake with a brain that runs in circles! LOL!!!! So, I blog! hahaha!  It's about 4:30 in the morning and as I sit here at my computer, I hear the wind and the rain outside. It's cold!  It's Michigan and it's the week of Halloween, of course it's going to be cold! But, I sit here and I listen to the sounds of outside and then I listen to the sounds of inside. Inside my home, I hear the sof

Processing adoption!

Processing adoption has been a huge focus at our house lately!  Not paper processing....emotional cognitive processing of adoption.  It is amazing! Amazingly hard, amazingly beautiful, amazingly confusing, amazingly enlightening, amazingly hurtful, amazingly joyful, amazingly bonding, amazingly tearful, amazingly exhausting and amazingly energizing.  And amazingly much more than that!!!! :) I was never one that could talk about my feelings very well.  This is not a good weakness to have when you are an adoptive parent!  It is ESSENTIAL that I talk about feelings and help my kid process through the difficult parts of their life stories.  Thank goodness for a village of other adoptive parents, social workers and counselors and even teachers who have come alongside me to help me make sure I handle this delicate subject to the best of my ability! Jaryse seems to do this quite easily, fluently, and with acceptance of the 'good' and the 'bad'.  I am pretty sure he has tau
