From the cold and smog in China

Pat is napping so I thought I'd post again since tomorrow is Gotcha Day, and it might be kinda crazy. The weather is so cold and wet we haven't ventured too far. We went to a grocery store and a walk--crossed two streets and didn't get killed! This afternoon we each got a massage--my back and butt are still achy from the flights. I'm feeling better but her thumbs were pretty deep so I might be miserable tomorrow.

Out our window (we're on the 31st floor) we see many rooftops. On one of them, you'll never guess this, is a jungle gym for little kids! I suppose there's no other place to put it, but are kids safe on rooftops here?!

The other two families will be here in about an hour. The cribs are already up in the rooms!! Cassidy's stuff is unpacked, now I just need her.

Hopefully the weather will improve (or at least warm up a little) so we can enjoy some sites while we're here. Pat is quite the international traveler; if it wasn't for her, I'd probably still be sitting in Japan!

It's nice to have a break from work, but I sure do miss Emily and our pets (and my soft bed...beds here are rock hard).

Pray for healthy babies who won't be too traumitized by all of the changes tomorrow!

  1. Hi Derrinda! Not long now until Cassidy is in your waiting arms! I will be thinking of you at 8pm Mn. time - hopefully Pat will be able to keep you calm until then...! Can't wait to meet Cassidy and see you all together at last. Emily - if you are reading this too, you are going to be one awesome big sister. See you soon!

  2. Me again - I forgot to say - OMG - re: your delayed flight and missed connections. How did you not lose it??? Did Pat have to sit on you??!! I'm glad that when you did eventually get your flight, it was a comfortable airplane for you and you could FINALLY relax. Ok - post piccies of your "Gotcha!" as soon as you have come back down to earth. I know that once your home, Emily will be in awe of her little sister and know that Mommy has more than enough love for both beautiful little girls.

    See you soon!
