immunizations and olympic tickets

Well, yesterday was a not so great day for the girls (they both got shots). Julianna started her Japanese encephalitis series, and Lydia got a a total of 7 immunizations (but only two total shots, thank goodness!)

But, Matt and I got great news!! We entered the Chinese lottery for Olympic tickets (open to Chinese citizens and foreigners in certain visa situations) - we had three total entries (Matt's, mine and Julianna's - each entrant could apply for a pair of tickets to two events). Julianna snagged us a daytime trip to track and field. Mine was the most successful, with a big night track and field finals tickets, and water polo. Haven't heard anything from Matt's entry yet. There is one more ticket lottery later this spring, and we'll try again. Of course, you can pay BIG money for tickets from various internet distributors, but if we get them through the Chinese government lottery, they are pretty cheap, so we're trying that first.

ok, gotta run. You know the morning routine with little girls... and it's even more complex living in a hotel!
