Kids are funny!!!!!!

I don't know if I was more busy in Haiti or here!!!!! Of course, I have to admit that over Memorial day weekend, the kids and I took 3 days of resting and doing pretty much NOTHING!!!! I felt very lazy, unaccomplished, fat and well just lazy after those three days, but I think that after three days of laying on the couch with both kids on top of me was good for the three of us. I really felt that they both needed to "just be". So, we took a weekend to "just be" together. I think it was good for us. We rejuvenated a bit and bonded a ton!!!!

Late last week we were able to get a car. It is used, simple, basic and I do not have a picture of it yet, but I do have a picture of the car that the kids both wanted me to get!!!!!!!



Yes, the black 2009 Convertible...hmmmmm....a bit out of my price range!!!! :) Well, Jaryse has told me only 3 times everyday since last week that when he grows up, he wants a black car "without the thingy on top!!!" LOL!!!!

The kids are still having fun with all of their dress up clothes and Grandma Wilcox just sent more dress up clothes in a package this week! We are so excited!!!! We have our IEP set for Ecrissa (to determine her summer school placement and fall school placement) for mid-June and we have the appointment with the ENT to discuss Cochlear Implant next week! I am thrilled and nervous all at the same time! I am praying for positive outcomes in all of these upcoming appointments!
I think I'll be happy when school starts in the fall, as I think we'll actually form a schedule that will last for more than 2-3 days! I think that'll be good for all three of us, but for now, we are enjoying all of the time we have together and thanking the Lord for each and every provision!

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
