Our Road to China

Hi to all visitors. We have created this Blog to track our progress as we travel to China to pick up our new daughter and to update family and friends upon our return.

Update January 14th (or is it the 13th)



The days here seem to blur together and it is hard to keep track of which day it is.

We are now in Beijing. Unfortunately Sophie has developed a nasty case of Shanghai Revenge (AKA Montsoomas revenge). It made its debut on the flight from Changsha and let's just say that we are probably not welcome on that airline again. The flight was mainly full of business people and you could see the look of panic in their eyes when our group boarded with all the babies. We arrived in Beijing around midnight and everyone was very tired.

The air quality in Beijing is very bad. Everyone in our group is congested and complaining of soar throats. The athletes competing here in the next olympics will have a tough go of it.

Sophie is such an amazing little girl. Even though she is not feeling well she wakes up every day with a big smile. She loves bathtime and likes to splash just like her big sister. The two of them are going to have such fun together.

It is SO great to finally see pictures of the three of you together. Only one more leg of the journey, before we can see pictures of all four of you.
Sophie looks and sounds totally adorable.
Hope she feels better before the long flight home.

Sophie looks like she is home. From the pictures she seems like a happy little girl and you two look like two extremely happy parents. Really looking forward to meeting her and seeing Cassandra again.

Talked to Gramma and Grampa Pejski and they hello and are thinking about you.

Enjoy China and the traffic.
