Holy Moly!!!!!!!!

LIFE. IS. GOOD!!!!!! We have moved into our apartment in Grand Rapids, started school, work, and are settling into our new routines! We still don't have internet, so I feel quite disconnected, but soon! Right now I'm at my Dad's house, so I decided that I'd do a quick blog update! This week was Jaryse's 6th birthday! I'm just so amazed that he is 6. This is the first birthday that we've been able to celebrate with family and it's been the MARATHON birthday week! He had a party at daycare on Thurs, a party in his school class on Thurs., Momma and Ecrissa took him out to eat, then Grandma and Grandpa Packer took him out and he spent the night with them, then we went to the Michigan State Game on Saturday (GO GREEN!), then to Chuck E Cheese's with the Sessions side to celebrate with his cousin Ethan and then today, my grandma is having a dinner party for him!!!!!! He is a blessed little man I must say!

(Jaryse refuses to smile when Ecrissa is taking pictures....such a brother thing!)

Ecrissa cheering at the game...She loved it!

A friend we met at Applebee's, he shares Jaryse's birthdy, only he is 89!

And, just for fun......first day of school pics!


The kids totally ham it up in front of a camera! Jaryse was a little nervous to start school at a new school and such, but he's transitioned nicely and he is doing great! I have Ecrissa's IEP on Friday and I am so excited to get a chance to really sit with her teachers and see how she is doing. As far as the recent reports go, she's doing pretty good! I think that this school really will be a great place for my babies! I'm so blessed!

As far as me and my job....I. LOVE. IT!!!! I love what I get to do! I am still learning the "ins and outs" of the laws and such in Michigan and the paperwork (oh the massive amounts of paperwork!). We are blessed and I'm the luckiest (although a bit partial!)

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!!!!
