Update

Oh, my goodness!!! You'd think being stuck in my house since Tuesday night, that I'd have lots and lots of time to update this silly blog huh!!! Let me tell you, 2 toddlers sure can take up a lot of time!!! I have more time to work on the computer at work than I do when I am home with these 2 angels!!!!!! Anyway, we stayed really close to home until about Sat. when we really needed to go out for fuel and gas, and let me tell you, that was no small feat to find!!!! We did finally find a gas station that was selling diesel for the generator and gas for my car. We also were able to get some food to stock up the house just in case!!!

The streets were fairly quiet in comparisson to the days before, however there were some random fires, and a UN officer killed. So, things are not normal, whatever that may be in Haiti, but moving that way!!!! LOL. We are back at school today and hoping that things will remain calm enough to keep the process of the papers moving forward and for safety for all!!

We took advantage of our time together as a family, here you can see the kids coloring and such while hanging out with Momma on her bed. We spent lots of time coloring, reading , swimming, riding bikes and watching movies. We really made the best of our time at home! Looking forward to a safe week back at school though! Thanks for your love and support!!!

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!!!!
