We had a wonderful couple of days in Beijing. Not only was it wonderful to see all the amazing historical sites...but it did us good to try and overcome some of this jetlag. Although...I've been awake every morning between 2am and 4am no matter what! :-/ Praying I can sleep all night tonight!
Our morning was pretty good. We were SO relieved that Mark found his iPhone! That was such a blessing!!! We left around 10:30 for the airport to head out to Chongqing. Chongqing is Shepard's home town. It is a very beautiful town and is seems very well taken care of. It is HUGE!! Our guide said about 32 million people!! Whew!! Cannot believe that!!
Tonight as we were shopping for a few things for the week...Sadie got a little overwhelmed. There are SO MANY people here. I know it must seem overwhelming to her for everyone to look like her. She said it was. We had a good chat and cry time tonight, just the two of us. It was good for her I believe!! It is an experience I believe that will leave a lasting impression on her and she will never forget it!! Continue to keep her in your prayers as we go to the orphanage to visit on Tuesday. I know every little thing we do will stir lots of emotions for her!
We will be uniting with Shepard around Midnight on Mother's Day night (Central Time) there in the US. So it is less than 24 hours before we meet him. We have been praying for him and praying for all of us as well!!!
The kids are excited and Silas talks non stop about him and cannot wait to finally have a brother!! I am praying that they have a good connection and that the transition goes smooth!!
It is late...and I do need to get to bed. Thank you all for praying over the next 24 hours. These will be very important times. I promise I will update with all the details of Gotcha Day and photos and all!!! Can't wait!
Love you all and appreciate you all!! Hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day!
Blessings,
Mark & Buffi
