We are on our way home...

Well our luggage has been picked up and we leave in half an hour. Lily is currently napping and i am getting ready. Ken has taken the boys to the lobby for a snack and a game of cards.  

I have so many mixed emotions right now. I am thrilled to be going home - I am sick and need my own bed:) We are all looking forward to beginning our life together.  We keep telling Lily that she is going home - we show her pictures of a plane, her bedroom and our house.  She just smiles and nods without a clue as to what's going on :) 

 I am sad for her as she leave behind her birthland and her culture.  I know that her life will be great in Canada however, she comes from a land and a people that she should be proud of. We will try and teach her the best we can about it.  We have had so many unique experiences but they were all awesome.  The chinese people are a very kind, happy and open people. So many people smiled, talked to us and helped us when we needed it. I will be sad to see China go.  

I do hope that Lily will get to experience her culture and know what a wonderful place this is to visit when she is old enough to appreciate it.  China will always be a very special and remarkable place to all of us - she gave us our daughter for that we will be forever grateful!

Talk to you in Canada!!!
