In Beijing!

Hello everyone, we finally found some easy access internet so we can post more!!! Yeah! Don't have the camera on me right now, so no pictures for this post...next one...I promise!

Angele.....if you read this before your flight...we are in room 332 at the Presidential (State Guest Hotel)....it was about a 45 minute drive from the airport. Very fancy...and fully decorated for Christmas.

Just had breakfast...it was better than home!! Waffles with whipcream...all the fruit you can think of...hash browns...yadda yadda yadda....oh...and forks too!! Haven't had to use the chopsticks yet!

Mei Lin is doing great! She is giving kisses, mimicking facial expressions, lots of smiles and hearty giggles...and always ready for hugs! She has a big personality and is a bit of a tease!!

Only problem so far is her night terrors. Some nights go not too bad but some are really bad. We had one of those last night!

She did really well on the flight from Guangzhou to Beijing (surprisingly well!!)...(might have something to do with the dozen or so crackers we kept feeding). She only cried a little bit. Although...she doesn't like the bus...always cries on the bus!

We are supposed to visit the Summer Palace and Beijing Zoo today (just the pandas)...but since our routine was so off yesterday, which made for a rough night...we might opt out this time. She really needs routine!!

Carolyn...one word of advice for you...make sure you are in shape!! I am aching all over! I have muscles hurting that I never knew I had! You will hold crazy positions for the longest periods of time and hold them until your muscles burn and you start to shake...just so they won't wake up!!!

Looking forward to Mei Lin meeting her first family member today! Angele will adore her!

Thank you everyone for all your supportive comments. I am so relieved I can finally post! Maybe later today I can sneak away and add some pictures!!

We are off now for a family photo...and then the grocery store for some necessities!!
