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!

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!!!!
