January 13th ( IN AM)

Good Morning !!


We are back in Beijing after one looooooooooooooooooooooooooooongggg flight from Changsha about 8 pm last evening.

We have 3 words to sum the trip up .......we will use the censored version for the sake of this blog.

Here they are: " Gimme a double !".

Yes, we failed the " test run" but we are hoping that it was the time that we were traveling -8 pm is hard on a little baby !



We are now settled into our room and hoping that Miss Aly has a good day. She has a bit of a cold and was up very early this AM. What a trooper ! She has been through so much this week.



JP is feeling better, no need for antibiotics and we are now ready to take on the sights and sounds of Beijing. This city is enormous and we can't wait to hit the markets ( well, Alyana and I can't anyway) :)

Here are few pics of our day yesterday ( bet you wish you had have been there, huh ?) .

The last one is a pic of the birthday girl !

Happy first birthday sweetheart ! We'll have a big birthday bash for you in your new home.

Private Message for Ben:

Hey Ben, We are 6 sleeps away from seeing you. We are getting really excited. Alyana can't wait to give you a big hug ! We miss you soooo much and can't wait until we are all together again.
Love you lots,
Mommy and Daddy !
