Beginning of the school year 2011

First, I just have to say.....They have gotten so big!!!!! Sometimes when I look at pictures I have to look twice because I can't believe that either one of those kids in the picture could be my baby!!!!! The first week of school went great! Jaryse even enjoyed it! For any of you that really know my boy, you'd know that this is just short of a miracle!!!! Ecrissa ALWAYS loves school and she is doing great!


The second week of school as started off a bit rockier! Jaryse is home and was home yesterday with strep throat! UGH! He is such a trooper, but he has EVERY symptom that could possibly go with Strep. You know, you read the list of possible symptoms and most people get a few of the most common symptoms, well not my little guy! When he gets sick, he does it right and he gets EVERY symptom...even the rare ones! He is on the mend today and beginning to feel better, but is still not well enough for school. So, the reason that I have time to post on the blog!!! Yesterday I spent all day cleaning while he was in bed...trying to get rid of the nasty germs attacking my home, but this morning I have a few minutes to share the last weekend before school started! The following pics are just a couple from our last weekend before school!


My kids love Chuck E Cheese and my parents are quick to take them! This is amazing to me. Given that when I was a child, I NEVER went to CEC unless it was a super special occasion. This is the difference between being a parent and a grandparent apparently. When they were my parents, the answer was NO, but now that they are grandparents, the answer is YES. Anyway, we have a lot of fun there as you can see by the faces on my angels!


Regardless, I'm happy to be a part of their lives! I'm blessed!

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!!!!
