Today was the orientation meeting. Primarily logistics, the boring stuff for Jake. But there were some facts about China as well. At the end of our session they were showing pictures of all the girls from each provience and they asked us to raise our hand when our daughters picture showed up on the screen. Talk about being nervous. When Emma's photo showed up we were not sure if it was her or not until her name appeared, like many other parents. My has she grown. We also received a beautiful red silk covered book with updated information about Emma. She loves playing with water doing and outdoor activities. So she will love grandpa and grandma's pool and the lake. She can crawl and stand with assistance. She likes to sleep with someone, in the dark and in a quiet environment for about 9 hours. (we'll see) She still feeds with a bottle and loves music.

We did go to Tienanmen Square and to the Temple of Heaven. Both places were crowded with people. We took several pictures, but would have like to stayed a bit longer and do some people watching. I had a little Chinese girl approach me at Tienanmen Square and she introduced herself both Chinese name and her American name, Barbara, and welcomed me to Beijing. I did get her to let me video her. We will get it posted soon.
Otherwise, we are glad to have a chance to slow down a bit, but I am sure we will still be busy, but a different type of bus
