Very tired Thursday night....just wanted to give a brief update on our in-country trip yesterday. We were able to visit LePing Village, in the rural depths of southern Hubei province. This is where Allie was born and lived until she was moved to the orphanage at 7 weeks old in late March 2004. It was as breathtakingly beautiful as it was poor. We were also able to visit the orphanage, where Allie was well taken care of until we received her at 15 months old. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that we will tell you about when we come home. Baby Emily is doing great, getting prepared for hugs and kisses. I have posted a few pictures - 1) Emily 2) view from orphanage 3-4) LePing village. Hope all is well, Love, Mark Jill, Allie and Emily

I am so excited you were able to visit the orphanage and I'm anxious to hear as many details as possible since Allie and Joanna were there together. Someday we'd like to go back to all three of their locations. My fear is by the time we make the journey, will too much be lost and different from now? How incredible you were able to get there and experience it with Allie. I'm dying to talk to you when you get back and settled in. Hang in there, only another week:) Enjoy the shopping!
Bless you guys!

Hi Guys!
I'm so, so glad that your trip was successful and you got a lot out of it! Like I said before, you will never regret going! Can't wait to hear the details and what Allie thought about it all.
You described the Village as breathtaking, but I think that Emily is breathtaking. The picture of her is amazing. She looks so beautiful, so healthy, and so happy.
I want to go to China again!!!
Love to you guys,
Laura
