Wonderful PJ saturday again!


The kids and I lounged around the house today!  I cleaned, they messed up what I cleaned and it was a wonderful day all around!!!  Last weekend, we didn't get a PJ saturday because we attended a birthday party and we went to a museum called KidSpace.  It was put on by a group that works with families who have children who are deaf/hard of hearing.  It was fun to have lots of other kids who are signing, parents who sign and siblings who sign. The kids had a blast climbing around all of the museum exhibits and looking at the ants, bugs and everything else.  We "adopted" a caterpillar and we are watching it build it's cocoon and learning about the stages of the development of the butterfly.  The kids are really enjoying that.  These pics of Ecrissa are from the playground near the museum.  She is such a dare devil and loves to be upside down.


The following are pics from today.............If only you could hear the screams and giggles that go along with that face!!!!!!



And this is my fat and purple toe..........


My almost certainly broken toe!  It's a good thing that I had designated today to be a restful PJ day because walking really isn't the most comfortable thing to do!  I think both kids have stepped on that particular toe at least 30x each today!  UGH!!!!!

Now, we are settling in for the night. We are putting on a movie and cuddling into my bed as a family and will most likely all fall asleep in my bed watching a movie that we've probably seen about 30 times.  I'm so looking forward to cuddling my munchins!  G'nite!

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
