Welcome to Beijing


After 4 flights and 2 days, we made it safely to Beijing. The flights were uneventful (fortunately) and the final flight was over 12 hours long, but it wasn't as bad as expected. We were able to get some rest, as much as you can get on a plane. It was getting dark when we landed and by the time we met up with our coordinator, Lina, and the other families that arrived today it was dark out, so no pictures of Beijing yet. Tomorrow we go to Tian An Men Square, the Forbidden City and then the Great Wall. It will be a full day.



While we have no sightseeing pictures we were surprised to get updated pictures of Nina. I believe they were taken this week. Even though we will see her in a couple of days, we are thrilled to get new pictures! She is just so beautiful we can't wait for her to be our daughter!!

T and J,

Everyone has been passing around the pictures. Nina looks like a little girl instead of a baby. Wish we could be there tomorrow when you first see her, but that will be your unique experience. We love you.
