Ni Hao from Beijing


@ Beijing just after arriving.


Sorry our first update is a little later than I wanted, but we got in late & our room's internet connection was not working. I am in another families room with our lap top & need to keep it somewhat short as I'm sure they are wanting to go to bed soon (we are still adjusting to the time)

Well we made the long trek and arrived safe & sound........a little weary, but we made it. We left Seattle @ 1PM on January 8th & arrived into Beijing @ 9:40PM. Somewhere 1/2 way to Japan the tears began spilling over as it was really dawning on my heart that we were on our way to Liliah! When I laid my head on the pillow last night the words that ran through my mind was "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore Toto!"
