So thankful!!!!


So, I returned to work today after a 2 week break!  You would have thought that having 2 weeks off I would have updated the blog! hahaha!  Sorry!!!!!  I took some time to myself, met with some friends a few of the days to catch up, completed a few projects around the house and enjoyed some of my favorite TV show...Law and Order!!!

 I also got to enjoy my kids!  Jaryse finished up his track season and I am so proud of that little guy!  He also graduated from 4th grade!  I can't believe that he is going to middle school next year!!! WO!

I got to hang out with the kids and not worry about keeping up with everything!  I LOVED IT!  I am forever thankful for the amazing job that I have, that not only allows me to provide for my sweeties, but it also allows time to be with them as they are growing!

GREAT NEWS!  My papers for the adoption are headed to China as we speak!  This brings us one step (and a HUGE one step) closer to obtaining our official match with the child that God is choosing for us!  I am so very excited! I cannot wait to officially know who she is!

We also received Jaryse's American passport in the mail today!  I find it funny that everything doesn't come together, but we got his, so I am anticipating Ecrissa's soon!  As well as all of the very important documents that they required in order to process the passport!  I am still praying that those are returned!!!!!

Today was a great day! I am so thankful!  Please keep praying for a smooth adoption process!  Pray that the funds will be provided and that we can bring our newest little Sessions home soon!!!!

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
