After seeing the Bird's Nest in Beijing in 2007 ...it's nostalgic for us to watch the opening ceremony for the 2008 Olympics. What fun we had in Beijing. One of our favorite things to do actually was a simple but elegant tea ceremony and of course seeing the Great Wall. The hustle and bustle of the city was amazing. The architecture stunning in many places. The marriage of old and new was palpable. The haze was prevelalent no matter where we went...setting a backdrop to Tiananmen Square, The Forbidden City, The Temple of Heaven and the Beijing Zoo. I'd still go back in a heart beat. The Opening Ceremony was STUNNING!! Maddie was disinterested for the most part except when there were children shown - all so cute. She and Kael were busy playing with cars.
Out of habit we called her baby last night. She walked over to the TV and pointed at it - reminding us..."No...I was a baby in China and now I'm a big girl in America". Yes you are our beautiful daughter. Thank you for letting us experience and continue to learn about another part of the world and becoming a part of ours.
