Long over due pics!

Yes Yes Yes, I am a crazy spartan fan that can't get enough pictures of my little Spartans in green and white and I finally got my dream picture of the three of us by Sparty!!! I am so thrilled that my Spartans are in the Final Four! I couldn't ask for a better homecoming gift!!!!!!

We went up to MSU to the high school track meet that my dad was coaching at and I got to see some of the athletic trainers that I used to work with and the kids got to see the campus a bit, play in the athletic training rooms and run on the indoor football practice field! It was tons of fun!



We also went out to pole vault practice with my dad and both kids had fun "learning" how to pole vault. Ecrissa loved it! She did a pretty good job too!!!!


The kids are having a wonderful time playing with all of the toys at grandma and grandpa Sessions house. They are getting lots of attention and they are growing like weeds! They have already grown out of clothes that they were wearing while in Haiti! Unbelievable! We've only been home for 2.5 weeks and they are already growing out of clothes! What do they put in food here???????

These last two pics are from McDonald's. Yes, I had to take my kids to play on the playground at McDonald's. Now, Jaryse thinks that every fast food restaurant is called McDonald's and he thinks that they all should have a slide!



How am I doing??? Well, I have noticed some weird things. Like, things that come out of the refrigerator are really really cold. Have refrigerators in the State always been this cold??? Also, the hot water that comes out of the shower head is really really hot. Has water always been this hot???? I also find myself shutting of lights and leaving them off for a long time. My dad will walk into the house and say "hey, don't ya' want some light???" Interesting, I didn't think that I was that good at keeping lights off in Haiti, apparently, I was better than I thought! I am doing pretty good other than that. We are planning our trip back to LA. I have appointments scheduled for Ecrissa to get her hearing formally tested and an appointment with a surgeon for the Cochlear Implant. We will see what they say and we'll see if she qualifies for the surgery. I am nervous for all that is about to come, but very excited as well!
I am still a bit in shock that we are here. Sometimes I think, well, when we get the adoption done, then I can make that decision......OH Wait, the adoption is done, I can make that decision! Wow! Still a bit surreal!
more later!

I am back!!! LOL!  It's been awhile since I've done any blogging!  When I looked at the last blog entry, it was 9 days before I left for China to pick up my baby girl!  I guess things got a little to busy to keep up with blogging....to say the least.  Thinking back, I remember that last week and a half.  I was a tornado of emotions, the list of things on my "to do" list was longer than the Mackinaw Bridge and I had no idea how much my life was going to change! I have to admit, I have loved being a momma of three!  I seriously believe that I am the luckiest person in the entire world. I really do like blogging.  It's good for me.  It helps me process some of the crazy in my life.  Believe me, as a single full time working momma of three kids with some special and unique needs, things can get a little crazy around here. The thing that I have been thinking about lately is HEALTH.  I mean, it seems so simple and yet it is so complicated.  Physical health, mental h

Overwhelmed with gratitude!

Yesterday was a hard one for me!  Not the hard that has you sad and crying or feeling beat up or anything.  But, the hard was keeping my brain focused! LOL!  My brain is a hot mess people!!!  I feel like I have so many loose ends to tie up before we leave for China in 9 days....yes, I said it, 9 days!!!!!  And my brain does not stay on one topic or project or even thought long enough to complete ANYTHING!!! LOL Insomnia is my close friend when I get like this!  I will fall asleep as soon as I get into bed, into a deep beautiful sleep....for 2 hours. Then: BOOM! Wide awake! Wide awake with a brain that runs in circles! LOL!!!! So, I blog! hahaha!  It's about 4:30 in the morning and as I sit here at my computer, I hear the wind and the rain outside. It's cold!  It's Michigan and it's the week of Halloween, of course it's going to be cold! But, I sit here and I listen to the sounds of outside and then I listen to the sounds of inside. Inside my home, I hear the sof

Processing adoption!

Image
Processing adoption has been a huge focus at our house lately!  Not paper processing....emotional cognitive processing of adoption.  It is amazing! Amazingly hard, amazingly beautiful, amazingly confusing, amazingly enlightening, amazingly hurtful, amazingly joyful, amazingly bonding, amazingly tearful, amazingly exhausting and amazingly energizing.  And amazingly much more than that!!!! :) I was never one that could talk about my feelings very well.  This is not a good weakness to have when you are an adoptive parent!  It is ESSENTIAL that I talk about feelings and help my kid process through the difficult parts of their life stories.  Thank goodness for a village of other adoptive parents, social workers and counselors and even teachers who have come alongside me to help me make sure I handle this delicate subject to the best of my ability! Jaryse seems to do this quite easily, fluently, and with acceptance of the 'good' and the 'bad'.  I am pretty sure he has tau
