Grandma and Grandpa are here (and a small surprise!)

Jaryse and Ecrissa and happy to report that their Grandma and Grandpa Holton have arrived in Haiti!!!!! This is the first time that my parents have ever been to Haiti, and therefore the first time that they have ever met my kids!!!! It is definetly a fun time!!!! My mom and step-dad arrived yesterday afternoon and will be here until Saturday!! We are very very excited to have them here!!!! They went to the school today and met Ecrissa's teacher and saw the school where we spend most of our time. They also had the experience of driving around Port au Prince today!!!! That is always an experience to be written about!!!!!

We are going to Jacmel tomorrow to show them the pretty side of Haiti! We'll do our best to share pictures with you over the next couple of days!!!!


Are you wondering about the surprise yet???? Well, we got news today that..... it is confirmed.... our papers were released from the courts and we have moved onto the next office!!!! I am so excited!!!!! After almost 8 months of waiting for this, we have finally moved onto the next step! I wish I knew how much longer it will be, but I don't! I am just grateful for the small successes!!!! Thank you for your continued prayers and support! We love you all!!!

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

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!!!!!
