Friday Night Fun!!!!

Well, we finished our first week back into our normal routine! Well, that is if there is such a thing as normal in Haiti!!! Ecrissa had a great week back at school, Jaryse is struggling with a little cough, but nothing big, and my schedule filled up right away! Friday night though, we just hung out at home! I made my grandmothers "Boiled Dinner" recipe and it was DELICIOUS!!!! Thanks of course to a couple of phone calls to my mom (cause I couldn't get ahold of grandma) to answer a couple questions!!!! Then, while that was cooking on the stove, the kids and I made cupcakes!
They love helping by stirring.......



Putting frosting on.........


And then of course EATING THEM!!!!

We then lounged around with music on and then later a movie! It was nice! We do somersaults adn stuff often in our living room, and Ecrissa has decided that she wants to learn how to do a backbend. So, a couple of weeks ago, I started teaching them how to do bridges!



Jaryse is sorta getting the idea!!!!!


But little Miss E has IT!!!! She lays down on the floor and pushes right up into a beautiful bridge!!!! Maybe the next Olympic Champion???????? :) I am just amazed at her everyday! When she was a baby I wasn't sure what her functional abilities would be! Here she is, a forward rolling, backbending, hoola-hooping amazing 5 year old little girl! Thank you Jesus for protecting this little Angel!

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!!!!
