Days in Beijing

We are having difficulty with downloading pictures so I can't post from the day now- hopefully we will be able too, soon. We went to the Chinese Acrobatic Show last night and to call it awesome is an understatement. Today, we went to the Summer Palace, the Great Wall and the Jade Factory. The Summer Palace is beautiful- we got to ride a boat on this pond. We learned so much history. Then the Great Wall- oh my!!! Words cannot do it justice. I have some great pictures from it! We also saw how jade is carved and polished, etc and ate delicious Chinese food. Our guide was great- its just been a fun day. The girls are doing great. Drew is feeling better and I think it is quickly settling in that we are less than two days away from our Kate. I just cannot believe it!! I have started wondering more and more about what she will look like and how she will respond. I wonder about her personality. So many thoughts have gone through my head today. I will try to share them when I can express it all better.
Oh- to say we were noticed today was an understatement. An American family with two daughters, one with light brown hair and one Asian quickly attracts a crowd. We have been videoed, photographed, patted, kissed and discussed- if only we knew what they were saying. We received thumbs up when they saw Karlee in the stroller. Kalie was grabbed for several photo shots. We got to talk to a little 7 year old girl and last night there were several children who would wave and giggle. All of a sudden this little boy comes right up and just stands besides me and looks at me and grins. I said hi. He said hello and then ran off and giggled some more. The people here have stolen our hearts too. They are so pleasant and kind and interested!
My next post will be from Nanning and hopefully we will have better comptuter set up. I still cannot view my entries so I hope they are turning out okay.
Thank you all for your comments. We are grateful for you love, support and prayers.
KALIE SAYS- hey Eloise, Jacy, Katie and Ruth! We are having fun and I miss you!

Hey Khloe, Emma and Lills- We love you and wish you were here too! We will bring Kate home soon. We will send you pictures of her as soon as we can. I hope you are drawing lots of pictures for me and taking a bunch too! We love you!!
