It was one wild and beautiful ride. 26 days. 6 Chinese cities. All kinds of transportation. Intense emotion. Highs and lows. The most amazing cultural experience. The closest family time. Prayers answered. Gifts given. Delicious food and nasty food. Messing up and stepping up and all kinds of laughs. Living fully. Trusting completely. Blessing.
It was an absolutely amazing experience. We could have stayed if we hadn't been missing such a big part of our heart.
The plane ride was EXHAUSTING, LONG and thankfully OVER! In between diaper blowouts, drying tiny jeans in a hand dryer in a Tokyo bathroom, some movies, hot towels and a jillion snacks, the kids slept, slept and slept for most of LONG flight.
The whole crazy thing ended on Thanksgiving day with two sisters running toward each other in an airport. These are some of our favorite photos of the whole trip!

| Introducing siblings is all kinds of incredible. |
 |
| Seeing our family there was such a relief, a release, a gift! |
To Eli, the whole thing was hilarious.

| Our flight arrived in the middle of turkey time, so we argued with these two families about staying with family at home, but they gave their Thanksgiving away anyway. |
