Dingxi City


I am a little emotional today so I will explain in detail our experience of yesterday later. But I wanted you all to see just a few pictures of our experience yesterday. We went to a remote city named Dingxi where Laura was found and where she lived in a small orphanage for the first 19 months of her life.

Picture 1 - Mom and Laura on the bus ride to Dingxi City.
Picture 2 -homes along the highway to Dingxi from Lanzhou.
Picture 3 - A spring festival celebration in Dingxi.
Picture 4 - Our family and the orphanage staff.
Picture 5 - A narrow lane.

Laura is adorable in the bunny hat!
The visit to the SWI and getting to see the "real" China, not the tourist spots and 5 star hotels, pierces your heart, doesn't it...that's why we kept going back...Everyone looks like they are enjoying the trip! We love you guys! ~Kim

Tonya - Your sweet Laura looks much better today. Keep hydrating her and feeding her with your excellent Mama Patience! She will grow and be healthier before you know it. Believe me. Sending you a lot of love from Colorado -Holly
