Long week.



Well, I am glad that week is over!  The first week back from a long break is always rough!  We made it through though!  

I have really been dreading writing this update.  God is performing miracles.  I am 100% sure of it.  Just not the miracle I was praying for.  It seems that we are now waiting again. I don't have solid answers one way or the other, and THAT is HARD!  But, I know that a miracle will happen.  Do you know how I know?  Because building a family through adoption is a series of miracles!  It has to be!  With all of the hoops that have to be jumped through and with all of the things that can go wrong there has to be about a million miracles for an adoption to become complete!  You know how else I know?  Because God already proved this to me by bringing my 2 Haitian Angels home!  If that adoption wasn't a miracle....NOTHING is!  LOL!!!!  I know He has a plan to bring the perfect child home to us and I am so crazy excited to be the momma to the child that God created me for!  

This week has been full of learning opportunities for me and the kids.  We've had lots of discussions about faith and adversity and trust and love and family.  I really do love how God takes the hard and makes it beautiful!  

So, here we go, on to another week.  A week of work, of school, of extra-curricular activities for both kids, of therapies, of living, learning and of course waiting!  I love my life and I am going to embrace each and every moment, while being anxious to see the revealing of the next miracle! ;)

Luvs and hugs!

I am back!!! LOL!  It's been awhile since I've done any blogging!  When I looked at the last blog entry, it was 9 days before I left for China to pick up my baby girl!  I guess things got a little to busy to keep up with blogging....to say the least.  Thinking back, I remember that last week and a half.  I was a tornado of emotions, the list of things on my "to do" list was longer than the Mackinaw Bridge and I had no idea how much my life was going to change! I have to admit, I have loved being a momma of three!  I seriously believe that I am the luckiest person in the entire world. I really do like blogging.  It's good for me.  It helps me process some of the crazy in my life.  Believe me, as a single full time working momma of three kids with some special and unique needs, things can get a little crazy around here. The thing that I have been thinking about lately is HEALTH.  I mean, it seems so simple and yet it is so complicated.  Physical health, mental h

Overwhelmed with gratitude!

Yesterday was a hard one for me!  Not the hard that has you sad and crying or feeling beat up or anything.  But, the hard was keeping my brain focused! LOL!  My brain is a hot mess people!!!  I feel like I have so many loose ends to tie up before we leave for China in 9 days....yes, I said it, 9 days!!!!!  And my brain does not stay on one topic or project or even thought long enough to complete ANYTHING!!! LOL Insomnia is my close friend when I get like this!  I will fall asleep as soon as I get into bed, into a deep beautiful sleep....for 2 hours. Then: BOOM! Wide awake! Wide awake with a brain that runs in circles! LOL!!!! So, I blog! hahaha!  It's about 4:30 in the morning and as I sit here at my computer, I hear the wind and the rain outside. It's cold!  It's Michigan and it's the week of Halloween, of course it's going to be cold! But, I sit here and I listen to the sounds of outside and then I listen to the sounds of inside. Inside my home, I hear the sof

Processing adoption!

Processing adoption has been a huge focus at our house lately!  Not paper processing....emotional cognitive processing of adoption.  It is amazing! Amazingly hard, amazingly beautiful, amazingly confusing, amazingly enlightening, amazingly hurtful, amazingly joyful, amazingly bonding, amazingly tearful, amazingly exhausting and amazingly energizing.  And amazingly much more than that!!!! :) I was never one that could talk about my feelings very well.  This is not a good weakness to have when you are an adoptive parent!  It is ESSENTIAL that I talk about feelings and help my kid process through the difficult parts of their life stories.  Thank goodness for a village of other adoptive parents, social workers and counselors and even teachers who have come alongside me to help me make sure I handle this delicate subject to the best of my ability! Jaryse seems to do this quite easily, fluently, and with acceptance of the 'good' and the 'bad'.  I am pretty sure he has tau
