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!

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!!!!
