UH OH.....................

I'm slipping!!!!!!!

We made it home a full year and now I can't keep up on my blog!!!!LOL!!!!!  It's been a very full couple of weeks but it has mostly been good things!  We are starting our spring break and the kids are loving it!  It's a little harder on me as I'm trying to schedule babysitters and such, but at least the demands of doing homework and preparing everything for school the next day has left me time to update the blog!!!!!

Saturday, we took a family fun day to the beach, the kids rode their bikes, I walked, and we played at the park.  It was so relaxing and I totally enjoyed being out in the sunshine watching my kids smile, run, play and just enjoy being kids.  I'm so grateful for the blessings that we have that allow us these simple pleasures. Sometimes I feel guilty for them, but I know that each minute I have is a gift from God!

Then on Sunday we had our typical church in the morning and Ballet in the afternoon...........Which of course was topped off with a MICHIGAN STATE SPARTAN VICTORY TO MOVE ONTO THE FINAL FOUR!!!!   Yes, that's me screaming in delight!!!!  I am one very very happy Spartan fan!!!

Church was fun though and it was fun to watch the kids.  The were both so funny!  They both acted like they were preaching before the service actually started. Ecrissa even had the Bible open in her hands at one point while making noises with her voice into the microphone.   Very Funny and very cool.  She is doing better and better every day with her hearing and listening skills. I am very impressed and very encouraged.

So this week I'm looking forward to a bit less stress and HOPING for another Spartan win (or 2!!!!) 

Go STATE!!!!!!!!!

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!

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
