Oh my goodness!

So much has happened, I haven't even had time to update my blog!!!!! Ok, so I have missed so much, I don't even know if i can update it all! I had a wonderful birthday and I am so thankful for all the birthday wishes and the donations to charity for my birthday! (If you didn't see it, check it out on my facebook, causes Ancheri Care, birthday wish). I am thrilled at the generosity and kindness of all who gave to Ancheri Care in the name of my birthday!

I don't know, probably by now everyone knows, but last Thurs, we got the signature from MOI for our adoption! WHOOOO HOOOO!!! We have been waiting for that particular signature for 20 months! Yes, that is not a typo, TWENTY! I am so thrilled I can hardly stand it! i went into the Embassy for the initial I-600 meeting today, and so far everything is in order and when we get our passports in our hands we can move onto the next step! Very exciting!

I did spend 5 days in LA with some wonderful friends, Reed and Allison Garwood. I was audited by the IRS and everything turned out fine. It was a bit nerve racking, but it did give me a wonderful excuse to get out of Haiti (first time in over 17 months) and to spend some time with lots of old and new friends! Reed and Allison deserve some type of Noble Peace Prize for putting up with me and all of my needs for those 4 days!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much Garwoods!!!!!! If you want to see a bit about some of our adventures in LA, check out Allison's blog, www.haitibaby.blogspot.com , she was much better than I was about keeping up with blogging, Facebook and emails!!!!!!!

Well, that is the extent of my update for today! I am still catching up from my travels! I'll share more later!!!

Oh, Cheri, I have been waiting for this amazing news since I first met you and your beautiful kids while I was at GLA. Congratulations, let the passport printing and visa approval process go smoothly for you!

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!!!!
