They are in Beijing

Dave and Will are sleeping soundly in their hotel in Beijing. Unfortunately, Dave has not been able to get his wireless connection working on the new laptop yet. He plans to utilize the business center in a few hours to send me pictures. In the meantime, my friend Heather has some pictures of our group that include Will and Dave posted on her site. Click on Hannah under Adoption Sites on the lower right hand side. She has them under March 23rd. Thanks Heather for sharing!

Here is what I know:

1. Will came down with a nasty cold on the plane (and we have been loading him up with airborne, probiotics and vitamins).
2. They only slept about 3 hours on the flight over.
3.Will has become very good friends with Emma (an eight year old girl traveling with our group).
4. They had a delicious Peking duck dinner when they arrived.
5. After dinner, they were outside taking photos and some "young, hip kids"(early twenties or late teens) wanted their picture taken with Will. How cute!
6. Will is thrilled to be in China but he told Dave that China is not what he expected. I think he was envisioning a more rural area than Beijing based on the books he has been perusing.
7. They ought to be sleeping now because in a few hours they will be climbing the Great Wall of China.
8. MOST IMPORTANTLY..they will have Kate at 10 a.m. Monday morning (which is 10 p.m. Sunday night EST). I am so excited for them.


Just in case anyone was wondering what I am doing...I have cooked four meals and frozen them for when they get home. Can anyone say "nervous energy?" I would love any recipes that freeze well while I am on this cooking kick!

I promise to post more as I know. Thank you for all the nice comments. They mean a lot to me and I am saving them for Kate.
