Beijing!

We are here in Be*jing. We arrived Friday evening and Ruiby did great on her first flight. She laughed when we took off and was awake the entire flight, I hope that is not a sign for our flight home! We pretty much got settled into our knew Hotel and then went to sleep. Today we toured the Forbidden City. It was very interesting and beautiful. And Isabelle became a celebrity. Everyone wanted her picture. Finally our guide said just don’t stop moving or we will never finish our tour. After the Forbidden City we went on a tour of part of the city that has been preserved like it was many years ago. We rode on rickshaws around this area and visited one of the homes there. Then our guide took us to one of her favorite restaurants. We were not able to visit Tiananmen Square, because it was closed for some special meetings that were being held there, but we did drive by. Then it was back to the hotel. Later we went for walk down several of the streets near where we are staying. We found a fruit shop, and wouldn’t you know it, Jon found red Anjou's from Hood River, Oregon.

Ruiby is doing better and better. She is starting to give us kisses and lay her head down on our shoulders. She still cries pretty hard when it is time for her to go to sleep at night. She does great in the Ergo and snuggles in. We are finally figuring out when she has to go to the bathroom. Yay! mom and dad!! She must have been thinking what is wrong with you people I am trying to tell you that I have to go!

Two more sleeps and then it is Jethro’s big day!! Can’t wait to meet our little man. Love to all!
