We're here!!!

Just wanted to let everyone know we've arrived safely in China. We're having some computer issues with our laptop so we're posting from the business center in our hotel in Beijing. That's great (!) but it's in Chinese so we're just winging this. We're hoping to figure out our issues tomorrow and post more info and photos soon.

Visited The Great Wall today! It was amazing, beautiful, foggy and STEEP. Oh, and AMAZING, again. Can't believe we meet Helen in THREE DAYS!

More soon...

I'm so HAPPY you are safely in China! I can't imagine you are so far away and seeing so many amazing things! This is YOUR "Amazing Race" to bring Helen home! I'm watching this site constantly ... checking the clock - ok, I should be able to figure out the 12 hour thing by now - but feel better when I see the clock on your site wondering if you are able to sleep, stay awake, etc. I cannot wait to see pictures ... and of course, see pictures of you, Stew and Helen together! I CAN'T BELIEVE you are finally there! YAHOO! Amen!

I can't imagine how overwhelming it must be. Every time I look on here I tear up. You are truly blessed. Helen is going to be one lucky little girl to have you guys as parents. I too, will be waiting to see pictures of you guys as a family!!!!! God Bless you both.

It's 2 am your time as I write this. Are you asleep? In CHINA? Or are you lying there all restless and anticipating? In CHINA?

So happy you made it safely. To CHINA! Which is where you are. Safe and waiting for your beautiful little girl.

Love to all,

Dennis

The Great Wall is cool, isn't it. Right now it's Saturday morning, which means you meet Helen in TWO days - Woo Hoo!
