We're Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all, Lee there is NO WAY you could've survived that car ride from the airport. We've been at the hotel for a while and I still feel like I am going to vomit. I definately don't want to fly for that long again either. But everything went fine, Madison was an angel! It's freezing outside and sweaty and smokey in the hotel. We have to be up in the morning to fly again this time to Nanchang, Jiangxi, the province where Zoey is from. It's been a very long day and we are going to go to bed. We'll keep you posted! Love From Beijing!

Oh, thank goodness your computer works! I called Lee last night to see if she had heard from you guys and she had not. I'm so relieved to hear you are there. I'm thinking about you all and praying constantly! Neely's even been watching the clock. She wrote Madison a letter yesterday - boy, this is going to be a long two weeks for us!

Love to you all,
Hope

I called daddy and read it to him...he was glad to hear from yall too!He said he would post tonight. I hope the flight today won't be so bad! Did you walk around the plane and do lunges?

It's Noon on Tuesday in China, and I'm praying HARD for you all. That you have peace during this amazing time. That Zoey has peace during this scary time for her. Praying that you are all feeling healthy, and up to taking care of Zoey.
