A very heavy heart

So much has happened in the past week, my brain is like mush.  I am just going to start with thanking the Lord for who HE is.  My heart is so heavy for my friends and loved ones in Haiti.  I feel worthless here in the States.  I know there is nothing I can do to take away the suffering that they have all indured.  

Ecrissa is doing fine.  She had her follow-up appointment yesterday and everything looks good.  She went back to school today and had an awesome day.  The kids in her class were very excited to see her!  That is fun for me to see.  Many times, Ecrissa misses out on so much because people don't sign and are unable to communicate with her.  But, when I walked into her classroom with her this morning, everyone was signing and she was communicating and they all were smiling and it was so heart warming!  I long for her to have so many more friendships and connections such as this!

Jaryse is still loving having grandma and Aunt Ginger here (as is Ecrissa).  He is doing well, although, he'd rather not go to school everyday!!!

I celebrated a birthday today.  I am so blessed by my friends that came by, my family that pampered me and my children.  My children are a gift to me every day.  I couldn't ask for a better gift than waking up with my two precious angels.  I will never take them for granted!

Please keep Haiti in your prayers.

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!!!!
