Beijing

We're here!!! We arrived in Beijing late last night around 10pm. Let me just say that Beijing is all dressed up! The Olympics have done wonders for the place!! After a fairly good night sleep on a bed that might not have been as comfortable as the floor, we're off to meet our travel group and do some touring. Today we'll see Tienanmen Square, Summer Palace and Forbidden City. We really just want to go get our boy, but this should be fun!!!

One surprise is that a family is traveling with us that knows Rusty. He and the wife went to junior high and college together.

We are so excited and amazed by God's provision, grace and providence to be here for such a time as this!

Great to get frequent updates! I'm at Grannie's and we have been watching "Gotcha Day" videos on You Tube and My Space all evening! It has been quite emotional and entertaining. Who needs the movies on a Friday night? Granny is just as excited as I to see our very own Joshua in his Gotcha Day video!! Oh, I bought a webcam with the mic tonight so you will be able to see us crying when we see you and Joshua on it!!! Have a Great Day! We love you and are with you in spirit every moment you are there!

I bet all the sight seeing is hard to do when you have your mind set on just one precious sight!
