Sophie enjoyed the lions found at many entryways throughout China. Here she sits in front of one at our hotel. Above she is trying to escape the sun and heat among the bamboo shoots at the Summer Palace in Beijing.

More pictures to come with time. Today I start my first day back at work. I was on call last night which was fine since I woke up at midnight from jet lag (Still!) and was wide awake all morning. Emily and Michaela were up at 1:00 AM and ready to have fun. I am looking forward to getting back on track with my sleep. Hopefully, in a few more days we will be back to normal.
