Ecrissa's 6th Birthday!

Thanks to many wonderful people, Ecrissa had a very very wonderful and memorable 6th birthday!!!!! Princess was the major theme with dress-up and pretend play the theme for the gifts. She got all sorts of dress up gear and a tea party set to top it all off!!! She was so excited with the decorations that Grandpa and Grandma Sessions sent, the wonderful friends that showed up, the yummy cake and ice cream and the amazing gifts and love that everyone shared!

Jaryse got in on the fun too! They were all so cute and funny playing together and having a blast!


I am happy that it all came together. Around 9:30 this morning, I wasn't sure!! LOL!! I thought I was crazy and was actually in Haiti! See, I gave Ecrissa a bath and braided her hair, then cut Jaryse's hair and went to throw him in the bath. Well, after about 2 inches of water, the water STOPPED!!! Yes, there was no water!!!! Then, I remembered! They were shutting the water of in the building for some plumbing work! Holy Cow!!!! Good thing I'm used to this! Jaryse got a really cold bath with a cup pouring water over his head, and Momma just cleaned up and sprayed some pretty smelling spray stuff on!!! LOL!!!!!!
But.....then I remembered that I hadn't baked the cake yet! I went to get the box and you guessed it, I need 1 1/4 cups of WATER!!!! I didn't have any more bottled water and NO tap water! Well, such is life I thought! It won't be the end of the world if she doesn't have a cake! But, God is good and the water came on before I had to go to work and I was able to get the cake baked before I had to leave for work! Whew!!!! I even got a shower when I got home from work before everyone came over! God is good!



Thanks for all the birthday wishes on Facebook, Email, and telephone calls today! It sure is amazing the wonderful people that God has brought into our lives to make our lives so full of Joy each and every day!!!!




And a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my 6 year old Princess!!!!!!!

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!!!!
