"The Great Wall"

This is Mike writing: It's about 11:40pm here now which means it's about 10:40am in Dallas, TX. It's been a very full day and Miss and Edge already fell asleep. We started by getting up early, having breakfast downstairs and heading off with the other adoption families for some touring. We made several stops with the "The Great Wall" being the most significant (first pic). The second pic is Eston in an upper area of an ol' look out station of "the wall"....we got a lot of exercise today. The next is Edge and a local boy. The boy's family literally grabbed Eston and placed him beside their son and started taking pictures. Eston's blonde curly hair and skin hue brings him a lot of attention in a place like this. People doted on him all day (particularly the chinese women). I watched as one gentleman stared at Eston for awhile and finally walked over to him and simply begain touching his hair and poking on him...it was interesting but fun to watch. We also stopped by the Ming Emperors tombs. We did a lot more today but I will stop here. Even in midst of all this fun, there is something we can't stop talking about....LiLi. We had fun talking with the other families about our daughters that we will be meeting and taking home soon. We might get LiLi tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Can't wait to see her...no longer a family of three...I know you can't stop thinking about how close you are to her and haven't seen her yet. You will stare at her for hours when she arrives...praying for you all lots of stuff going on and so many emotions tied up in this adventure to LiLi. Give Eston a hug from us.
