Wednesday Night in Beijing

We flew from Guangzhou to Beijing this afternoon. Other than being delayed at the gate for nearly an hour, the flight was uneventful. Lilah slept almost the entire flight!
We're staying the night at a hotel near the Beijing airport. Our flight out tomorrow is delayed an hour due all flight operations being suspended for 3 hours tomorrow morning for the 60th Chinese National Day celebration. Hopefully we won't see much more of a delay. If all goes well, we should be in San Francisco tomorrow morning Pacific time and home in Seattle later in the afternoon.
We are all definitely happy to be heading home at last, but at the same time we're sad to have our daughter leave her home country; though we know that she'll have a good life with a family who really loves her. She needs some stability in her surroundings which is something she has not had enough of in her short life. She is just beginning to trust us, but we know we have a long road ahead. She is one special little girl and we feel truly blessed to have two wonderful children.
We met many great people during our trip... From the other families who shared parts of our journey, to our guide Cindy in Beijing, Mary in Nanchang, and David in Guangzhou, and especially to our guide Elsie who was with us every step of the way; we will always remember each and every one of you from our trip to find Quinn's Little Sis.
