Landed in Beijing!

After a few little hiccups, we finally made it into Beijing last night.  We checked in the Courtyard Marriott and had a very needed night's rest.  The day before we left, we had a very nice member of the Church offer to book us the room last night using his reward points, so that was a wonderful blessing. 
 
The best part of yesterday was that we were not quarantined!  Here is a picture of Connor getting his tempature taken on the plane and he passed!  I told Andrea to ask to take the picture, but it is obvious she did not listen.  Were weren't the only ones snapping pictures though.....kind of looked like umpa-lumpas boarding the plane.
 
Today we are going to look around Beijing and take in the culture.  Excited to be here!!!

Great! SO GLAD to have you here! Andrea is always learning the ways! Ask AFTER you take the pic- bc if you ask before they usually say NO :)

China in our Hearts

We feel so blessed that through this adoption process we have truly seen God work many miracles in order to bring our family together. When people ask us; “Why international adoption?” The answer is easy, “Because our daughter is in China.” -Andrea
