These are the families who will be getting their babies with us on Monday!!! there are such a great group of people and we are all bonding very well!
Today was an extremely busy day. We started our tour at 8:30 am with Tianiman Square, grant and full of people, mainly Chinese on their way to pay tribute to Mao Tse Tung who's maosoleum is right on the park. It was incredible to see how many Chinese people stood in line for over 2 hours to get a glimpse of their hero. Then we went to the "Forbidden City" so huge and complex that if it wasn't for our guide, Veronica, we would've gotten lost in a heart beat. And then the best for last we went to the Great Wall!!!! Oh My God, it's definetely easy to look at it and admire than actually climb it! But I'm happy to report that Joey and I made it all the way to the top (ok maybe not all the the way) but high enough to get rewarded a bronze plaque engraved with "I climbed the Great Wall" with our names on it and the date, we are so proud of each other for having done this but we also think was crazy since our legs are now complaining about the abuse!!! And the last of the sightseeing was to the Bird's nest and the Water cube, more beautiful than the pictures for sure and at night that just seems like something out of a futuristic movie. We are leaving for Guangzhou tomorrow to meet our daughter for the first time!!! we'll post with more updates tomorrow... Have a great day

Heidy and Joey:
I am so glad that you are having such a ball.
BTW, Veronica was our guide for Katie and I am trying to get in touch with her. I saw her when we adopted Ethan and we were keeping in touch and now we lost touch. Please tell her to contact me...PLEASE!!!!
Love you lots!!
Heidy, you are glowing in the first picture at Tianiman Square. I think your upcoming Motherhood is shining through. Your time is right around the corner. Best of Luck!
Candy
Proud of you for climbing the wall!
