Well, it is 3:30 and Rachael's body doesn't know if it is a.m or p.m. (For the record it is a.m Eastern Daylight time, p.m. China time.) Everyone else is sound asleep and Rachael is wide eyed and ready to go, although a little grumpy. Me? I would be asleep too if I had my way, but someone has to watch her. She was a bear to get to sleep last night at well. Ganggang on the other hand had no problem falling fast asleep.
He did pretty well seeing his new home for the first time. We had sent a photo album that the orphanage staff has obviously showed him multiple times. His face lit up when he saw it and he was able to point out different people in it. As we entered our neighborhood, we got out the album and showed him the pictures of Emily and Grandma and Grandpa pointing to them. We then showed him the picture of the house and his room. When we pulled in the drive, he pointed to the house and then to the book with a big smile.
Ganggang seems to really like his top bunk and got a big grin when we put him into it. His only complaint about Columbus so far seems to be the fact that we have two cats.
He has no experience with cats other than pictures in a book. He is scared of them and backs away or wants up when they come near. Oh well, he will have to learn to deal with them. We just keep petting them and telling him they are good. We are also encouraging Rae to pet and kiss them when Ganggang can see her do it.

The Mrs. and I have really enjoyed reading the experience.
