The Allen Family

1 beautiful girl

2 beautiful girls

Drinking that coffee to stay awake

Tired, but happy dad

One beautiful mom and daughter

yum, food!

Today we went to a gorgeous park full of different flowers.   The girls were great on the trip this morning.  Then the guides took us to the tallest building in China.   The skyscraper is 98 stories tall.  We also saw the arena for the 2010 Asian games.   We are currently  in the room resting and then will work on packing some of our stuff.  I hope everything fits back into our luggage.  I''ve  already purchased an extra carry on when we were in Beijing.  :0)  Miss everyone.

Mom, Reagan said my hair was messy...

Lunchtime...

All the new, happy parents

Pictures, anyone?

Baby one, and baby two

Living the life of a baby is hard work...

Yesterday afternoon we rode with the other families to the medical clinic and we did a small amount of shopping.  Then I went to paper meeting for two hours and Glen kept the girls.  Reagan and Rachel cried the entire two hours.   I think they stressed Daddy out!    This morning we went to Folk Art Museum.   The wood carvings on the building were amazing.   We bought the girls some art work, stamps with their chinese names/american names, and china dolls for the girls to play with one day.   Lots of Chinese people took pictures of us feeding the girls.  I think there was excitement that we had adopted  and that they were twins.   They rest of the day is free time for us. Right now the girls are napping and then we will probably go to the park across the street.  We have to be up and ready by 7:20am tomorrow for a consulate meeting.

Just me and mom!

This is my sissy...

Hello...

Just US and our dad!

Today we stayed close to the hotel.  After breakfast I got really sick and was sick most of the day/evening.   Glen was such a trooper taking care of the girls.   I feel much better today.   Not sure what caused the sickness, but possibly the orange juice I had at breakfast.  All 13 families from our agency are now here and we spent the morning with them, while they were at the clinic.  Reagan keeps getting a rash around her face and neck.  I hope one of the physicans there will be able to take a look at the rash while we are there.
