arrived in beijing

October 24, 2008 in adoption, bringing henry home, family

it’s been a long day of flying. but we made it to beijing. our bodies say it’s 5AM Friday morning, but it’s actually 5PM.

we’ve checked into the hotel. hopefully we’ll get a good night’s sleep and then we have a LONG day of sightseeing tomorrow. we’ll be running from 8:30AM ’til 7:30PM. tomorrow will be Summer Palace, Forbidden City, Jade factory, and Peking Duck dinner.

looks like we might get to tour the Olympic facilities on Sunday!

only two more days ’til we meet HENRY!!!

by the way, so far we’re having trouble accessing www.stephenandcc.com. we’re hoping to blog the trip there, but we’ll post updates here until we get it worked out.

Wow! I know you guys are so excited. And probably even more anxious to see Henry now that you are this close. Hope Darby is faring ok with the time change. It seems to hit kids even harder.
That is also the bluest Beijing sky I think I have ever seen - maybe they really did do some pollution control. Hope you guys have an amazing time and looking forward to more updates.

YEAH! You landed! Praying that you all sleep well tonight and that you have refreshed souls and bodies in the morning! I can’t wait to hear more and I can’t wait to see Henry in your (well we all know they will be C.C’s!) arms! I can hardly contain myself!

Rest well.
