Not sure if pics posted and random thoughts at 4:15am.

Hello all it is 4:30am on Sunday and we are both wide awake, we ended the evening by having pizza with our friends and then we were both asleep at 8:30pm.

I was up a couple of times at night and then wide awake at 4;15am and so was my MacLean. It will take a couple of days to get used to the time change.



I am having trouble and am not able to view my blog so am posting blindly. If anyone is reading this please leave a comment and let me know if you are able to see pics from my Beijing posts. We are both well. MacLean went for a swim last night and got meassured for a beautiful Chinese dress and I got fitted for a jacket. Today we are meeting at 9am to have an orientation session then it is off to Tianamen Square and the Forbidden City. We have free time in the afternoon so we are going to find the new Silk Alley and do some shopping. Then tonight we have a group dinner not sure where yet. WE found out the the deputy director the CCAA (which is the big agency that takes care of all adoptions in China and abroad) wants to meet the kids and we are going to have a special ceremony with him at their offices. We are feeling very privledged. They have also arranged to have a videographer follower us for our time in Beijing and he is making tapes of all the tours to give to us. The other exciting news is that we are going to also have a special photo op and ceremony at the Bridges of Love (which is our travel group) they are part of the CCAA. We are very excited to have these extra special opportunities. Anyway I think that is it for now I am going to try to post another picture so let me know if it comes through.

Wow, I can't believe how big MacLean is now! It's been a while since I've seen her. I still remember her as the sweet little JK in my classroom :)

I hope that you both have an absolutely fabulous time in Beijing! I hope to get to China this year as I'm not sure if I'll stay in Singapore for a 5th year...we'll see.

Take care and happy shopping!
Stacey
