Here are some pictures from our trip so far that I decided to upload since Lili is taking her nap and the internet connection seems fast.  It is hard to look at the pictures from Beijing and realize that we did not have Lili yet.  She has become so much a part of our lives that I cannot remember those days that she was not. -c

Today’s lunch was KFC and Chinese Pepsi. And boy they not only taste different but are actually tasty. Of course not as tasty as some of our lunches have been the last few days but still tasty. Of course before KFC we had the whiteout party with our paperwork in preparation for our trip to Guangzhou and our appointments at the US consultate. It was two hours of excruciatingly slow movement filling out lots of forms in specific order with specific entries. I haven’t done anything so painful since boot camp, but Lili makes it all worth while. -t

Street life in Beijing – which must be the grayest city in the world.

    I think you should have set up a contract with National Geographic before you left.

    We’ve been lurking for a few days since Auntie Brett & Uncle Jay proudly directed us to your site. (Remember us, Auntie Brett & Uncle Jay were our terrific Nanny Duo.) CONGRATULATIONS! You both look so relaxed and happy!! I think Lili’s spirit shows up more in more in each subsequent photo.

    I do have a question that’s been bugging me…of course it’s about the puffed up layering. What exactly is the temperature there?? It doesn’t look all that cold (at least not so cold to need 4 layers!).

    I will attempt to construct a message to you in Chinese, culled from 4 fortune cookies that came with our Superbowl takeout Chinese dinner tonight:

    Xiang-nian ni, Hai-zi Schomer. Duo-shao qian yu jin ri?

    Translation: “Miss you, medical doctor Schomer. How much fish today?”

    Hope all is well. We crave news.

    xoAunt Christine.

    You now have to many people waiting for your writings and this has been a long day for all of us. Also the Bears just lost.
