Pictures from Beijing





Pictures (bottom to top since that's how they posted):

1st - Beth and I on the Great Wall (yes, in the rain!! Our guide here told us we were amazing women for that feat!)
2nd - 4 star toilet at the Forbidden City! (really, we're not making this up!)
3rd - Chinese Acrobats
4th - Our hotel in Wuhan - all we're missing is Hannah!

Today, during breakfast we met another family that is adopting a little girl from Hubei province (where Hannah is) as well. She is from a city outside Wuhan, but they are staying in Wuhan too since it is the capital. We will be the only two families receiving children here tomorrow.

We had a short, uneventful flight to Wuhan and after checking in our hotel, our guide took us shopping for a stroller, drinks, and snacks. Now we are just hanging out. We get Hannah tomorrow morning at 10:00. (Sunday night at 9:00 for you).
Maybe tomorrow night, we'll post Hannah pictures!!

You are so amazing DeEtte! I am so proud of you. Right now it is 4:33 pm on Sunday, only a few more hours until you see your precious daughter, Hannah! I can only imagine how excited you are. Thanks for the pics - I can't wait to hear the stories about the toilets over there... LOL May this day be all that you wished it to be and more!!! Love you,

Tricia

DeEtte - right now it's about 9:10 on Sunday night. I can't imagine how you must be feeling right now! Leanne says she hopes Hannah will like America; and that she is excited to meet Hannah soon; and that she hopes you are having a good time. We love you!!!
