We have arrived in Guangzhou!!
We are all alittle sore from climbing the Great Wall yesterday, they must call it the great wall because there is no word that could describe that marvel. we were pretty wimpy we only made it too the third watch tower but the view was spactacular (I hope the pictures do it some justice) The weather was actually sunny and 50 degrees during the day in Beijing and in the teens at night. Guangzhou is rainy and in the 60's today. Looks like it will clear up and be sunny and in the 70's by the end of the week. We are staying at the Holiday Inn ShiFu, the rooms are huge, we have 2 adjoining rooms which will be nice when we get Ruth tomorrow. WOW I can't believe the day is finally here. Criag has been having a blast, he gets to eat noodles for every meal, although we have not had an actual dinner yet. We eat a big lunch and snack for dinner, Craig has been falling asleep around 6 pm and waking up around 2am. Luckily there were not too many other people on our floor in Beijing as we were running the halls at 4 in the morning.
Well time to out and explore a little, we need to keep Craig up as long as possible and hope we are back on schedule tomorrow. We will try to post pictures of our newest family member by tomorrow night, depends how long it takes for her to like us.

Thanks again for all of the wishes and posts

Bob, Jessie, Craig, Kara, and tomorrow finally Ruthie

Sunday Greetings to Bob, Jessie, Craig, and Kara,
We all said extra prayers this week for all of you and to Ruthie. It will be so nice for Craig to be her "BIG BROTHER." We can't wait to see all of you when you return with your new addition to the family. She will belong to the most loving family and will have many friends. Love to all, Ken, Nancy, Alyssa, and Valerie
