I have no idea where to start with posting about China, so I"m just going to post some of favorite pictures......I think they are pretty self-explanatory.
My heart is in China. I can't explain it, but China felt like "home" to me when I got there, and now I am missing it, and the people there. I can't wait to go back....
It was amazing to see the beauty in the simple as we we took a 4 hour bus ride from the airport to Heng Feng. The people there have so little, yet we were so blessed by their kindness and gratitude. I loved that I actually got to see real life in China this trip. On our adoption trip, we spent most of our time in hotels and at tourist spots. This trip I really felt like I got a taste of "real China". I just want to go back and see more and more of China, and share my heart with the people in China. It was definitely a trip I will never forget, and it definitely won't be my last trip there, either!
Here are a few pictures from our drive to Heng Feng....
This is the view from our hotel room window in Heng Feng....
A few more pictures of everyday life in and around Heng Feng...
We seemed to create a huge crowd everywhere we went.....I don't think the people in Heng Feng are used to seeing Americans!
Headed to the orphanage......(Charlene and Julie, this "back of the bus" shot is just for you! ha) 
Babies!!! 
This is one of two little boys in the orphanage that we worked in. He stole my heart!
More pictures coming soon.....

Becki,
It is wonderful to see the pictures. I can't wait to hear more about your experiences and about the children. I sincerely hope to be able to do such a trip myself one day. Thanks for sharing!
How absolutely wonderful that you had this opportunity! Ever since we returned home from China in 2005, it has been a dream of mine to return and work w the orphanages. Can't wait to hear more about your trip. How did the kids do in your absence?
