Arrived in Beijing!!

Hey everyone. It is so great to be able to update facebook and the blog over here! I am using any last bit of energy for this, soo tired, but so excited.

We landed in Beijing Saturday night around supper time. Caleb did awesome on the trip. He fell asleep at about 9pm and slept until we had to wake him up to land (might have been the gravol I gave him)! Once we landed and got our luggage we met up with a few of the other families who flew in and headed to our hotel. We got our rooms and then went out for supper. It was yummy. Then went back to our rooms to sleep as it was now over 24 hours since we went to bed last.  Because Caleb was such a great sleeper on the plane he was wide awake at bedtime. So he watched a few movies why we slept and eventually passed out.

This morning we got up and went for breakfast. It is deja vu being in the same hotel again and having Caleb. Of course he doesn't remember being here, but we sure do! We did some paper work and then headed out to the bell tower.  To get there we had to take the subway and did a whole bunch of walking. It was a great trip though and we saw lots!

Tomorrow's Plan
We just finished getting ready for our big day tomorrow. We have a wake up call for 4am! yep that early but luckily we have jet lag and most of us are awake at that time any way. We leave for the airport at 5am. At some point we will fly out to Wuhan. And then we meet Clara!!

Hard to believe that tomorrow night we will be putting to kids to bed!!

I will do my best to post tomorrow and of course some pictures!



He is soo sad because I wouldn't let him play with his toys at take off!

  2. Hi, so happy to hear and see that you made it safely to Beijing!!! Mom and Dad look good too. It's 3:30 here, so you must just be getting up now to start your journey to get Clara. We can't wait to meet you at the airport in a couple of weeks when you bring her home! We are thinking of you all. Enjoy the trip! Lots of love, Le Hoa and Shawn.
