Spring has been a busy time in Beijing to say the least! After we returned in February, we have barely had a weekend free! Spring is in the air and everyone is taking advantage of it! Soon after we returned, Aaron had work in Hong Kong, so I joined him for the weekend. While we were there, my Uncle Terry arrived for business, and we were able to spend a few days traveling around China together. This was a treat for sure! I (Hayley) turned the big 2-7 in March, and we managed to spread the celebration out over three days...just the way I like it! I was also privileged to take a trip to Luohe with my friend Barbie to deliver a bag full of gifts, clothes and blankets brought over by friends from Auburn during spring break. I really enjoyed being back, and Aaron and I are going to try to go again in May for Children's Day. Settling back in has gone really well, and it certainly doesn't feel like we were ever gone for two months.
Thanks for checking in, and stay tuned for another update soon!
