We are here in Beijing.  What a flight - long and we watched a lot of movies.  We got some really great steward treatment thanks to Scott Underwood and Kimberly Brabson emailing the flight crews ahead.  We are exhausted except for Addie - she slept the most and since we got to hotel she's had like a second wind.  The internet at this hotel is only free in lobby.  Hopefully that won't be a continuing problem.  I'm pretty sure our internet is free in our next two hotels thus should make setting up my network in our room easier.  Touring the city tomorrow - Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Hutong and more.  We hit the Great Wall on Saturday.  

Met several of the families and everyone seems great - well, as great as you can be after 14 + hours on planes. The kids really did great on the flight.  On the bus ride from the airport Addison just stared out the window watching.  It's pretty cool watching her take it all in.  

Gotta get some sleep now - Jodi and I didn't sleep at all on the plane and we can't even really see straight right now.  

Love you all and keep up the prayers!
