For the past several days, most our of conversations have started out with..."this time time last year". It has been so much fun to share memories of our China trip.
Once we made it to Hohhot on Friday, we had to wait the entire weekend before we got Lily. We loved getting to spend time in Inner Mongolia. We were able to visit a Buddhist temple and the Inner Mongolia museum. We even braved walking down the street from our hotel to eat by ourselves at a restaurant where NO ONE spoke English. We were so proud to get food that we recognized and were able to eat!!
We were so anxious to get Lily, but I'm glad we got the time to tour Hohhot. We fell in love with Inner Mongolia.

After a full weekend, we were so ready to finally get Lily. We spent Saturday and Sunday seeing Inner Mongolia and wondering about our sweet girl. It was one of the longest weekends of my entire life :)
