blog of pics!

OK, so I finally got a second to upload some pics, I won't bother you with a bunch of stories, cause I know you only want the pics!!!!!


Leah and I at the NCAA Championship Game! Proud spartans all the way!!!!


At the childrens Museum in Grand Rapids, the kids had a blast!













At my mom's for Easter! Picutre of Grandma and Grandpa Holton, Tyler, mom, Jaryse and Ecrissa!




At Dawn's for another Easter celebration! Cousins Ecrissa, Chloe and Kyla!



Ecrissa's hearing test at the John Tracy Clinic! One of the distractions that they used was painting her nails, so not only did she get a hearing test, she also got a manicure! Lucky girl!!!!


Ecrissa at the park! They are loving the weather, the parks and the walks that we are able to take here in California!

Ecrissa is a good little "mommy" taking her baby for a walk also! She is doing so well! Both kids have their moments where their behavior is, well, in my opinion TERRIBLE!!! But, I know that there has been so many changes and there is no schedule and I am sure there is lots of confusion and questions running through their little minds! We are starting to settle in LA and our apartment is starting to feel like home! Jaryse has asked me a couple of times when we can go back to Haiti. He says that he misses his friends and that we wants to play with them! He's mentioned just about everyone that we know in Haiti! We love and miss the country of Haiti and all of our wonderful friends there!

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
