The train ride was great but getting onto and off the train with luggage and two little guys was a challenege. We are so thankful to have Sophia along to help. Then we transfered to a subway like train to go to the hotel. It was a little tougher to manage and we were all tired and hungry. The hotel is connected to a huge mall so we walked from the train to the hotel without problems except that there were alot of people and trying to navigate our group with luggage and all was difficult.
The hotel is beautiful and we managed to get the boys a short nap before meeting everyone. After some delays our son finally made it here about 9pm. It was disappointing to have him delayed but it all worked out. We have missed having him closer but he seems to be doing so well and we are so happy for him and for Sophia. We met Sophia's parents-- they are so kind- and we all went for a traditional Cantonese dinner late last night. We can see where Sophia gets her beauty, friendliness and strength. her father commented on what a small world it is when two children raised so far apart can meet in yet another country. Bo had a nice time talking to him about their shared belief in the importance of family. It is nice to know that Sophia comes from such a nice family.
The biggest surprise of the evening for me was how Brandon-KP reacted to his biggest brother- Bryan. It was immediate affection and connection. Bryan was carrying him on his shoulders and they were getting into mischief together. He wanted to sit by him at dinner. It was amazing to see. I forgot to bring the camera - of course-- but I will try to post some pics of them together. It was so cute!
We are off to see Hong Kong. Then tomorrow we will be on a plane for HOME! We are sad that we are missing Kylee's graduation tonight (in US) right now this morning here. But we are so proud of her and know that she knows that we love her and miss her and will be home soon!
Love to all--
Glenda
