Love having a good week!

A couple of weeks ago, Ecrissa had a really rough time.  The new hearing, the new input, the sounds, the demands on her had just pushed her to her limit.  I felt so bad for her, but during her 45 minute tantrums, I still got a headache! 
The past two weeks have been really good.  She is handling things better and has made some wonderful progress over the past couple of weeks.  She is now 11 weeks after hearing her first sounds, that is just about 3 months.  It is expected that she will respond and develop in her hearing and language at the same rate as an infant would do so.  So, she is expected to be functioning like a 3 month old baby in terms of her listening, hearing and language skills.  She is doing that.  She seems to be developing nicely.  I am so thrilled.  I know that we have a long road ahead of us, but each step of the way she continues to amaze me.


Jaryse continues to crack me up!  He is always doing something to keep me laughing!  He has his first loose tooth and is so excited for it to fall out!  School is up and down for him.  Most days are pretty good, but some days are tough for him.  There are days he comes home and sleeps for over 2 hours.  He is learning so much.  He is beginning to read and he is writing all of his letters.  I am just so thrilled for him.  He is super excited for summer vacation though!!!!!




As for Momma.....doing well.  I had a couple of kid free hours today as my friend took the kids shopping and out for lunch.  It was awesome!  The kids had fun and I enjoyed a few minutes to clean up the house, eat some lunch and watch a bit of TV.   As I was sitting in the quiet house, I missed my babies.  I am so thankful that I get to be a part of the lives of these two kids.  I am so glad that they weren't gone any longer than they were!  They energize me and I can't imagine my life without them!  Right now, they are both sleeping and I'm catching up on a few things.  I like the house being quiet AND having the kids here with me!

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!!!!
