Bringing Hannah Home

Yesterday we had a free day where no paper work was needed and we took the children on the "Bullet Train" to Beijing, it travels at over 200 MPH. The train was very clean, very comfortable and it took 27 minutes to go what it would normally take 3 hrs to drive. We went to the Summer Palace and the ZOO we saw so many sights. I am attaching pictures, Hannah is fitting right in lots of bonding, she loves to be with the boys, I have lost 10 lbs, but am eating more than enough, we walk so much, I have not had any problems with shortness of breath since the second day. My legs are getting much stronger.
Everyone here takes a quick liking to the boys as I have told you in my last posts. At the Summer palace, and the zoo they all had to take pictures with them, especially the men, with families, it was great amusement for them. And we were all just doing fine, it did get a little tiresome after awhile.
Chandler has been answering lots of questions for me, no semis or even pick up trucks are allowed in the city in the daytime only at midnight, and personal cars are not allowed in the city on certain days. All of the flowers we see are beautiful
There is no reason to the traffic, everyone just drives however. But I feel safe, Kenneth you drive great, no more dash board brakes....LOL he will understand.
I will be glad to get back to Shepherds field and be with the children, Being in the big city is ok but I have done enough sight seeing.
We went to Thai restaurant for lunch yesterday and I burned my lips off with the food. It was beautiful though as is every restaurant.
There are 17 million people in Beijing about 7 million in Tianjing, All the families work, the children are in school from 830 am till 530 pm sometimes until 830 pm. They have a winter break and a summer break, air conditioning is not turned on until June in some places, it has been in the 70's and 80's every day. we keep the windows open and wash the clothes and hang them in the bathroom to dry they dry overnight.
All the children wear 3 layers of clothes even in heat. Hannah fell yesterday twice at the zoo and tore her leggings and skinned her knee, and lots of people were concerned, it was very nice to see that the people were concerned.
when we got back to the room, I washed it and put bacitracin and bandaid on it, she did fine not a whimper she watched closley. She understands a lot of english, but speaks mostly Mandarin.
OK everyone enough for today....Gods love to all
