much more than a story: 11 hours till Adeline...

Carey and I had a fun, full two days in Bejing! With our guide, we visited Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, took the Subway twice, rode a very full bus once, did a Hutong (traditional housing) tour, and had (awesome Jasmine) tea with a family there. Today we also visited and hiked an area of the Great Wall that I hadn't been to before. It was a beautiful, clear, blue sky day! We rode up on a ski lift, and after hiking, slid down the mountain on a tobaggan slide. Definitely a highlight (after it was over;)).

Only 11 more HOURS till I meet Adeline. Oh man, how the wonderful butterflies of excitement and anticipation have started! There are several other families (one whom I already know who were with us in Beijing:)) meeting their children tomorrow here. It will be a memorable day!!

Tomorrow will be filled with many, many emotions. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers...especially around around 8:30 PM Sunday US time. :)

Goodnight from China❤️
