We're home and comfy after a long journey.
T
he much feared flight back was not "Quinn and Alice on a Plane" as first expected - though Alice did bonk a few heads with a water bottle, they both slept for a good portion of the flight. They were also well apart from each other in the plane, which was probably good for the safety of all of the passengers :).
Much to our surprise, we were greeted by several friends and family 
upon arrival (thanks to all of for taking time out of your schedules to welcome us home). 
Quinn was very happy to see everyone, especially all of the lovely young girls who received the bulk of his affections (should we be surprised).W
hen we arrived at our house, there was a very thoughtful greeting on our door from our good friends Lynn, Duncan, Kira and Maia (Thx). 
After showing Quinn his new digs, we had some soup, and played basketball and 
air hockey (Quinn was in his glory). We quickly reset our clocks and were all in bed by about 11:30pm. 
We woke up this morning around 8am. Likely given the huge change for Quinn, he was not his usual chipper self this morning, getting sick a few times, but hopefully, he will be OK in a day or 2 and can get to know everyone real soon.Thanks again to all of you for sharing in our memorable journey. See you soon!!
p.s. Here is our "After" trip photo...

Good Morning Ottman Family,
Welcome home, happy to see you're back and settling in. I'm sure Quinn thinks he's landed in a Toy's R Us, and he sure seems happy, as does everyone else in the family. Can't wait to meet the "new man" in your lives, and to see all of you.
LOVED your blog, just couldn't wait to read it each day....now what am I going to do for entertainment?
Hugs,
Grandma Gail
Too funny!!! Welcome home guys. I'm sure it felt great to sleep in your own bed last night.
It was great to meet Quinn yesterday; Nicole is completely enamoured with him and as we were leaving the airport she said, "I can't wait to see Quinn grow up; he's so cute". She's still talking about him today!! We will definitely have to try to do more playdates in the future.
We missed you at dinner last night Jane. *grin*
Loved every moment of the journey and my two girls are also totally in love with Shi Lun Yu - they cannot WAIT to get to spend some real quality time and not just some hugs and kisses at teh airport. hee hee
Thanks for sharing...welcome home!
Lianne, Bryanna and Cassidy
Welcome Home weary travellers, in case you check these comments now that you're home... for posterity sake. It is so very clear, especially after meeting Quinn, that this has been the journey you were all meant to take. I wish the best for you all. Congratulations Jane & Steve!! All the love that you have poured into your children's lives is so evident in them :) Hugs & Kisses, Joanne
Welcome home. I liked meeting Quinn when he visited our school.

Hi Jane....
I have lost your email address. :o( We have been home now with our little Karleigh Mei (Qian Qian) for 3 1/2 months. I wanted to let you know that the sweet picture of her smiling that you sent to me was what kept me going during our wait for her! She is doing fabulous and we are so in love! Thank you again!!
Blessings,
Jenn
