Great Wall and 1 step closer to Hannah.....






Sorry, we were unable to update everyone last night, we couldn't get the computer to work in our room, but we are back in business today. We arrived in Beijing last night after a very long flight. We somewhat adjusted to the time change with the help of some benadryl and an early wakeup of around 3:00 AM. We met some of the other families this morning at breakfast and then we headed off to the Great Wall of China. It was raining and very hazy so some of our pictures did not turn out as well as we would have liked. It was still an incredible site to see, it looked as if the steps of the wall were climbing up into the clouds. We bought a poncho this morning and the only colors that they had were bright pink and purple, thankfully Julie agreed to wear the poncho and let me have the jacket. It was a very difficult climb and we really don't know how high it goes , because you couldn't see the top. The Clouds were so thick , and after each section we climbed there was another steep section. As you can probably tell, we didn't make it to the top. After the Great Wall, we left on a 3 hour flight( A 3 hour tour) to Nanning- the capital of Guangxi. Our hotel here is called the Majestic and is Amazing. When we walked into the room they already had a crib set up and the reality is setting in that our baby will be sleeping in it tomorrow night. We pray that she is sleeping tomorrow night !!!!!! We found out that we will not be getting Hannah until about 4:00 in the afternoon (4:00AM at home) so if you could please pray for us and the babies before you go to bed tonight we would appreciate it. We Miss you all especially Noah and Abbey. Have a Blessed day. We will update you soon. Hopefully with pictures of Hannah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
Jason & Julie

For some reason your blog is set up not to allow any annonymous comments which means anyone that doesn't have a blogger account can't resond to you blog. I tried to get into your account to change that in your settings when I saw it, but it is blocking me for some reason... just thought that I would let you know in case you want to change it. Love you! ~Mary
