Break is OFFICIALLY over!


We made it through our first week back to school! Ecrissa has been doing a wonderful job and Mommy and Jaryse are making it through! Thank goodness for Princess Mia!!!! Jaryse has really taking a liking to Princess Diaries 2 and is happy to watch it all the way through 2 or three times a day! He even is beginning to say lines with the characters and sing the songs with them!!!! He laughs and laughs and is even laughing before the funny part happens! I am thankful, because I can actually get some work done!!!

This weekend we are taking a 2 hour trek down south to a town called Jacmel. It is a beautiful coastal village that has wonderful Haitian history. I received a call from a friend of mine that has a mission down there, and apparently there is a little girl (age is guessed to be just under 2) with some sort of handicap that has been abandoned to die at a local hospital. I am going down to evaluate the little girl and hopefully help place her in some sort of orphanage or find someone to are for this little girl. So far, all but one orphanage has said no because she has special needs. The other one has said maybe, and the final answer will depend on my evaluation and how severe she is and what other medical issues she has. Please pray for this little girl, her future, and myself, my friend Kim and my little ones as we travel to Jacmel this weekend. I will keep you posted and share pictures as soon as I have access to electricity and internet again!

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!!!!
