It's a rare Thursday.....

When I have the energy to blog.   There is something about Thursdays that are hard for me.  Nothing to do with what is scheduled for the day, it's just the day!  I think that it's not quite Friday (so I don't have that pre-weekend adrenaline--mainly my weekly goal of PJ Saturdays!) and I'm already exhausted from all that is shoved into Sunday - Wednesday.  I've always had a hard time with Thursdays, as far back as I remember, through high school, college, grad school, doctoral program, Haiti years, and even now that I'm back in the States.  Thursdays should be banned!  However, God strengthened me today!  I don't know why, but today was a great day, I had tons of energy, the kids were great, I got a ton done and now I even have the energy to blog!  Hopefully I don't crash tomorrow!!!




Anyway, this has been a great week for us.  Monday and Tuesday were my later nights working and the kids stay with babysitters.  They had a blast with both of my friends that they stayed with for the couple of hours after school until I got home.  As a mommy, it's so reassuring to come home to 2 happy kids.  I already beat myself up for leaving them with a babysitter (all of 5-6 hours a week).  I have this image that I am supposed to do EVERYTHING and be their EVERYTHING.  But, I can tell you, that I feel so relieved when I come home and they are happy and I can tell that those couple of hours were good for them!  That is good for me!







Earlier this week, our caterpillar turned cocoon hatched! The kids were very excited to let the butterfly go. I'm not 100% sure what happened (as I am not a caterpillar/butterfly expert) but the poor thing never flew away. It moved, but didn't fly. Hmmmm...... guess we didn't do so good! Oh well, the kids had fun and they learned alot!

Tonight, Jaryse lost his first tooth and Ecrissa was my fairy running around the house all evening in her dress up clothes!  What a great life God has blessed me with.  I struggle weekly to have enough money to pay for the things we need, but God provides.  What we lack in funds is more than compensated in the love and joy that we have in this house.  I wouldn't change a thing!

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!!!!
