Inside China Blog

Here is a blog that is written from inside China where a volunteer is there helping victims and orphanages from the devastating impact of the earthquakes there. If you have a moment, take the time to read it and look at some of the pictures on her blog. Click here for her blog. If you think you are having a bad day, just read this and know how lucky we really are!

I am taking tomorrow off to spend a fun "summer" day with the kids. Thanks to my sister, we will have a nice day at her pool having fun. Here are some pics from the week that proves we are loving the weather and enjoying our summer. This was Shelby's first "big" pool experience and she did great. She had no interest in really swimming yet, so I just let her stay on the steps and she played in the water. Maybe tomorrow I will be brave enough to actually get in the pool with her to take her swimming- we'll see.

Looking forward to seeing all of my adoption friends on Saturday. Can't wait for the big celebration for little Meron! She has officially been announced to the blogging world for all to see her beautiful face :)

Oh and for those of you who wonder...God really still does answer prayer! We have had some heavy decisions this week and we are happy to say that our Father does still answer prayer. It may not always be what we want to hear, but he does answer!
