Finally!!

Finally we got to the reason we traveled half way around the world...the kids! After two days of canceled flights, we gave up, hired a bus with two drivers, and headed out on a 6+ hour adventure through many tunnels and who knows what else. We arrived at the hotel at 3:30in the morning, so it was dark most of our journey. We were still in a bit of a fog this morning, but it is was wonderful to have the kids recognize our return.   There were a few new faces too. In fact, one unnamed child came last Friday, whom we named Jack.  And yet another just arrived today. She is quite afraid whenever we are near, so we are waiting to name her until we get to know her personality a bit more.  We made tissue butterflies and flowers with both the kids and nannies, and since all of the team but Ying and I are new, we took our time getting to know the kids and routine. 

For now we hope to get some good sleep and be ready for tomorrow.  The vice-mayor of the city invited us to dinner tomorrow evening, after meeting us waiting for the plane this past Sunday.  Should be interesting...
