We arrived yesterday here in Zhengzhou after a fairly uneventful 5 1/2 hour train ride with the family. The first thing Miriam said after stepping into the hotel lobby was, "where is the pool???"
About two minutes after we arrived, our dear friends here to adopt their son also arrived! We were able to get rooms pretty much next to each other, and as an even greater blessing another dear friend Jill is here for a couple of days to help Matt and Laura with their 4 1/2 month old baby. Sweet reunion!
We did indeed hit the pool and then hopped into a taxi to a nearby mall for some dinner. We were just congratulating ourselves on what a great idea it was to take the taxi when we realized the stroller we had borrowed from our friends was still in the trunk of the already-departed taxi. :( Still holding out a small hope that we will get a call from the taxi company that it has been reported, but until then we bought a cheap wal-mart one as a replacement for them to use while here in Zhengzhou.
It's almost time for the kids to get up, and then we'll head down to our breakfast buffet and meet up with the other families at 9:30am to head to the civil affairs office to get Isaac! Will hopefully have photos of ALL the Staege family together on the next post!
Eeeek! Can't wait to see those pictures! How am I gonna sleep tonight? :)
