Going through, day by day, by day, by day......

Sometimes, I feel like I am going crazy, running from this thing to that thing for this person, for this kid, for that. AAAAAHHHH, the life of a mom huh. I know it's been a while since I posted, but we are doing well. We've struggled with little electricity, poor internet, sleepless nights, and busy days, but all in all we are doing well.

Ecrissa is the one who is really giving me something to talk about. She is learning so much. She has started putting two words together to make small sentences in sign language, I know, those of you without kids with disabilities may not get it, but every milestone is a HUGE deal for this mommy. She is recognizing the letters for her name, and beginning to understand fingerspelling. I am sooooooooooooooooo excited. It's alot of work, but she's moving forward.


Jaryse is doing well too. He stays with a Haitian friend of mine during the day while I work at the medical clinic and he told me this morning as I as leaving to "be a good girl". I love it, he is always saying something to crack me up.

They are both enjoying watching the Michigan State Spartans with me on our slingbox on the computer, when we have internet during the games. They both actually watch the game and cheer when I cheer. I am going to have some really great Spartan fans on my hands. Whoo hooo. Gooooooo Green.

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!!!!
