Well, it's Monday morning! It's amazing how much more fun Mondays are in the summer- no rush, rush to get out the door for school and making sure you have the backpacks, gym clothes, practice stuff, etc. Today Will has basketball practice and then baseball tonight. Hopefully, we can get enjoy some time at the pool in between our two sporting events.

This week is going to be a BIG week in our family. My sister is adopting a beautiful, little 18 month old girl from China and they leave this Wednesday for China. Right now, it's bitter sweet. We're so thankful that God has chosen our family for Mia, but we're all anxious about the trip and the time spent apart. They will be gone until July 18 and our family is really close and that seems like a long time for us to be separated. Please pray for safe travel, a smooth transition for Mia, and for Cole, Garrett, Nolan, Molly and Will. I have a feeling there's going to be some children missing their Mom, Dad and grandmother! We're unsure about how we're going to communicate now while they're in China. We're hoping to skype but we're also not sure how reliable that's going to be. Ashley is going to try and update her blog www.fivefairleys.blogspot. com and I'll post here as I talk to them. We're just trusting God to see us through this journey- literally!

I hope you enjoy your day! Remember to count your blessings....
