Two of the most precious days of my life........

Were four years ago today and four years ago tomorrow. It was Ocober 9th of '04 that I met the two week old baby boy that stole my heart from inside of my body. I had no idea that could even happen. But, the little boy below (yep, that's my Jaryse) did it. I fell in love with him and from that moment on, my life would change.



Then, along came this pretty little thing, and my heart was torn out again. How does that happen??? How can one child take your heart and monopolize all of the love that you have, and then the next one that God gives to you do the exact same thing?? Seriously, how many hearts do I have??? I knew that I was in love with this little girl with all that was within me.


I had to leave them. I met them, loved them, and had to leave them ten days later. Knowing that one day, I would bring them home to the US to be my children. That has not yet happened. But, God is amazing. He brought me to them. I am so amazed every day that I get to be the mommy of these two amazing children. I know I don't deserve them, never will, but by the amazing grace and forgiveness and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, he has given me the chance to love and mother these two precious angels. I thank him daily for October 9 and 10 four years ago.

Watching them grow is so amazing. Everyday is a new step, a new lesson, a new smile, a new laugh, a new experience. I cherish every moment.










They grow so fast from little tiny babies to amazing toddlers, and someday to adults (heaven help me). I am so blessed. I love you Jaryse James and Ecrissa Danae Sessions
LOVE ALWAYS, MOMMY

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!!!!
