Catching up!!!!

My family left yesterday morning :( :( :( , but now I am in the middle of catching up. Oh, and Mia, I don't have pics yet!!!!! I am waiting for grandma and Teri to send them to me. I didn't have my camera with me, just grandma and Teri. We had a good visit though. We went to Jacmel and they watched me do therapy with the Jacmel kids, we played in the pool and enjoyed each other's company. We then came back to Port au Prince, did some shopping on the street, went to market's and to orphanages. On Tuesday my brother in law went to the medical clinic with me and to the school while I taught. I think that between all the driving around Port au Prince and the drive to Jacmel, they go to see alot of Haiti and experience some of the culture. I know they experienced nights (and even days) without electricity, the heat, Haitian Happiness (for those of you who don't know what that is, come visit, maybe you'll experience it too!!!), cold or semi warm showers, poor water pressure, bad roads, burning trash, rain (and lots of it), flooded roads, and probably much more that I just think is normal at this point!!!!!! Haiti is full of all sorts of experiences, without even going anywhere, and we were all over! I am so happy that they came, so happy that they played with my kids, and so grateful for their love and support.

I'll post pics when I get them from my sis (hint hint!!!)

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!!!!
