Wow

That was a wonderful opening ceremony!

When we got home from work and daycare I had the girls take their shower and bath. The plan was to bath them at the same time but Elizabeth wanted to take a shower and Ella did not. Oh well. Then we ordered Chinese from our favorite deliver restaurant and settled in to watch. Good thing I didn't have a party like I was first thinking though. I was tired and did "rest my eyes" a few times... mostly during the long entrance of the teams. I think the entertainment was amazing and am in awe of the electronics and skill of the people.

I taped it and will enjoy when I can totally "enjoy" it... Good ideat for Chinese take out!

I just loved the dream you had of Tate and I.... funny cause the same day you posted that, my friend said out of nowhere that she thought of Tate as a 17 month old at meeting. Two Tate stuff within a few hours! Cosmic!

Tess even watched about 20 minutes of it. I loved it all but I have to say my favorite part was the lighting of the torch, the gasp of the crowd as he rose through the air and the faux-running against the huge LCD. Super cool!

Your daughters are beautiful. What a journey. We swapped houses this year with a family in the US who had adopted their daughter from China also.
