Touch Down in Guangzhou!!

Ah, China!! You never know when or if something will work out like you planned. Although I expected to be able to access the internet in Harbin, it was only available in the lobby of the hotel. And given that I received a VERY active 7-1/2 year old boy on Monday, that was NOT going to work out.  So, I'm sorry, dear readers, to keep you on the hook for the week, wondering what was going on. All is well and, best of all, I have our awesome, beautiful, smart-as-a-whip son!! Oh my goodness, is Wang Wei incredible!! He handled the long day of travel today from Harbin to Guangzhou like a trooper! His first airplane ride was super fun, and he was totally in awe of the whole experience. I will write more about that going forward; since I couldn't post online, I have a week's worth of handwritten & recorded posts and some photos to get up. But I wanted to touch base and let you know that we are both doing great, and doing great together!!  Thanks for all the love, prayers and good thoughts and wishes. More to the story to come tomorrow - it's nearly 2 am and I must get to bed - Wang Wei has his Consulate physical exam in the morning. But first, a photo of me and Wang Wei about an hour after we met, and the second of him about 2 hours later back at our hotel room. Don't you just want to kiss those cheeks?!? So glad I get to!! More tomorrow!!
Gotcha Day!! January 21, 2013, Harbin, Heilongjiang, China
