A haitian holiday, blessing us with a day off!

Watch out Pixar Artists!!!! I have a 5 year old that can draw with the best of them!!!! LOL. Ok, so I am a little biased, but check out Ecrissa's NEMO!!!! I found her the other day, sitting on her bed looking up at a picture of Nemo, then down to her paper, then up to Nemo again, and then to her paper, and so on. And the final product................................

TA DA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A gorgeous Nemo!!!!!!!!!!! I am so proud of my little girl! She is growing and changing and makeing developmental gains everyday!!!!!!!

For our day off yesterday, we "hung out" as Jaryse would say. I felt like that day was such a gift. We played at the school, I did some running (I don't think the workout thing is working, I've done 3 and I still don't look like a superstar!!!!), then we washed the car and played in our small pool. We watched movies, read books, played games, and ate snacks. Wow! Blessed to have a wonderful day off!!!!!!

Maybe Haiti should have more holidays!!!! Just kidding, they actually have a ton, and it seems that they always fall right when there should be movement on my adoption papers! I'd rather see my papers finish then have a bunch of Haitian Holidays!!!!!!! I am sure other adoptive parents would agree with me!!!! I am blessed. I am so aware of my blessing lately. I have heard so many sad adoption stories from this country over the last month, that even though ours is hard, grueling, long and terrible, I am thankful for friends, family and my Lord and all that he does for me and my children!
