Welcome

Welcome to my blog. This is a journal of things in my life during the adoption process. If you want to start at the beginning you need to read backwards. What this means is go to the archives (January 2006) and read through to current time. I enjoy reading your comments, so please post your thoughts for me to read. Colette

Friday night in Beijing

Never thought we would be in China! Bob here, we made it in to Beijing around 3pm (1am in Tulsa). The flight over was uneventful but damn it was long!!!!! Unfortunately for Colette and I, we could not get any sleep on the plane so we are running on fumes. You will probably notice the pictures below of a local market which would out do the local Super Walmart during Christmas rush (as in number of people in the store). This store actually sold more lines than a Walmart (it sold large applicances along with everything else you can think of). But, we only went for the essentials, BEER and water.

Anyway, we are pretty much dead tired since we have been up for more than 24 hours but are really thrilled to be here. Tomorrow we are going to Tieneman Square, The Forbiden City, and the Great Wall. Working our way to Monday when we meet Olivia for the first time.

Thanks for the posts, Bob. You know we all appreciate the updates and I am sure Colette appreciated it, too. Great to hear from you. I loved hearing about the market, and we are eager to hear about your daily adventures.

Love,
