Catching up!


This picture of our goofy pup shows how I pretty much how felt Saturday after the Final Four game.  So sad that my Spartans didn't pull off a win, but I am super proud of that team and always proud to be a Spartan!  That team was written out of the NCAA tournament earlier in the season then they were expected to lose early in the tournament and they fought and never gave up and made the FINAL FOUR!  That is what I love!  I loved watching them pull together and make it to the Final Four!  Next year!  I just love my Spartans!!!!!

So, my friend Megan was absolutely right!  I do not have time to keep this blog up to date! LOL!!!! Well, hang in there with me friends and I'll do the best that I can!  Last week was crazy busy at work, at home with the kids and trying to keep things moving with the adoption and planning for the holiday weekend.  Needless to say, it did not turn out to be a perfect week and I'll spare all of the details, but God is always faithful and we are moving forward again.

The lost documents caused me a bit of stress, but I was reminded by my 10 year old son that God is in control when he said "Don't worry momma, it doesn't mean she'll come home any later".  Wow! I am so thankful for this little man and his wisdom!  I was able to overnight an official copy of the most important document that was lost which allowed the agency to send that on to it's next step....now again, a waiting game for that.  The estimated wait for the documents in this step is 45-90 calendar days (we are day 3!  YAY!) and when it's all said and done, really only a handful of days were lost, and like Jaryse said......it doesn't mean that 'gotcha' day will be any different than God planned in the first place!  This week will be focused on trying to re-create the other documents that were lost.  No biggie, they can be re-created, just a time consuming task.  Please pray that our papers continue as God would have planned for us!

We did have a great weekend with our family.  We celebrated my dad's birthday on Friday night and went to his house on Sunday after church and had a great time with cousins.  Saturday we celebrated with my mom and then we went to see an Easter play at a local church.  It has been super busy and I am ready for a restful 'staycation' here at home this week for spring break.  I also get next week off and I am really looking forward to trying to check things off of the multiple 'to-do' lists that I have going! Pray for me! LOL

We are still working to raise the money necessary to keep moving and so I am planning a yard sale at the end of April, so one of the tasks is Spring Cleaning this house!  So, I'm going to sign off and start purging! :)  Have a wonderful week friends!

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!!!!
