Bad, bad blogger.

I always have blog topics on my mind and then I never do anything about it. Maybe I am not the blogger I thought I was. This is very typical of me. Start a journal, never finish. Start a book, never finish. I am at the tail end of a compelling biography about Gladys Aylward. It is a short, simple book so why can't I finish it? Aylward was a missionary to China. I have been amassing a small library of books about China but have not actually finished reading any of them. It seems that life always gets in the way.

Today, my plan is to finish this blog post and my coffee, then start to do something I have procrastinated about for a very long time. Cleaning the windows, sills and frames. Yuck. It is a dirty job but somebody has to do it. Okay, here I go.

I wonder if they have attended a John Maxwell seminar. He is popular here, you know. One would think that the country that built this thoroughly modern skyscraper , the second largest in the world, could come up with a way of making the tap water potable. Why are there so many Chinese people wandering around the hotel in their robes? Note to self - do not shake a baby bottle filled with very hot formula. Question:...

I really thought I would have time to blog everyday on this "once in a life time trip" but in reality, yesterday I did not even have time to brush my hair and I have yet to wash it since getting the twins on Sunday. So as I sit here on Tuesday evening I want to remember and record all that has transpired since the girls were first placed in our arms but I am sitting in a dark hotel since Abbi and Livi are asleep in their cribs just 10 feet away.  The near darkness make me want to crawl under the covers and fade into dream land. So, the remedy is going to be a bulleted list which I will try to expand on later. "Try" is the operative word here. Gotcha Day was traumatic for the girls but they soon calmed down and just eyed us with suspicion for the evening. Prior to getting the girls there was a two hour meeting to discuss feeding and caring for the babies and the itinerary. Monday was paperwork day. The first office was where the adoption became official. ...
