Sunday in Beijing

Day 2 with Zane has been even better than day 1. We keep waiting for him to start grieving, but it hasn't happened yet. The joys of a boy? (simple, unemotional?). We went to church this morning at a bi-lingual service, which was good for Zane. I think hearing Mandarin is soothing to his soul. Shannon and I are reaching down deep to find every Mandarin word/phrase we know, but we both ran out about a day ago.

What adoption would be complete without a trip to the bowling alley?! Non-verbal activities tend to be good for us all, so we gave it a shot. Had a great time and laughed a lot.

At a restaurant, the waiter came by to light the candles on the table. Zane looked at him and said, "No electricity?". Soooo cute. Ambience and mood lighting was evidently not a high priority at the orphanage.

Thanks for praying for us all. Abby and Hudson, we miss you a ton, but can't wait for you to see your new brother. He is really full of love and joy, with lots of laughter and lots of hugs.
