Um, that would be 'no'. We are, however, back in Canada. We're at the Vancouver airport now waiting for our connection to Ottawa. Our 6 hour wait was shortened to 5 hours because our flight out of Beijing was one hour late leaving. Right now we're all very tired (it wasn't a good flight from Beijing to Vancouver) and just putting in time until we can get on the next plane to Ottawa. Naturally, because we have lots of time in Vancouver, our luggage was among the first bags off, and we sailed right through customs. All told we were probably through and re-checked in for our flight to Ottawa within 45 minutes of landing. Not having to go through immigration was very nice. Another couple, also flying into Vancouver with a new baby from China, told us that the customs officer they spoke to said they had saved themselves a couple of hours by avoiding immigration. I believe it. It looked pretty busy at the immigration counters.
This will probably be my last post for a few days as we all try to get over the jet lag and get into a routine. I will however, try to update again in the next week or so.

Oh my, I can't believe your trip is pretty much over. It seems like you guys were leaving just yesterday!
Thanks so much for keeping us updated so well through the blog! Both the stories and the pictures were amazing and inspiring. I especially liked that picture of B and DOT in the before last post!
Sorry for not commenting more often, I was reading pretty close to real time, but couldn't often find enough uninterrupted time to write a coherent comment!
Looking forward to meeting B, he seems like such a sweet kid!
Woo hoo, we'll see you soon! Is there any snow in Vancouver? You're in for a wonderful winterland homecoming. Would love to meet you at the airport, but, well, it's just too darn late. Unlike all our children, I try to go to bed as early as I can. Hopefully we will see you tomorrow, but if not, then soon!\

Welcome home!! (Well, almost. :-))
Here's wishing you all the best as you adjust to being a party of five... We're so excited for you!
Love & Blessings,

Welcome (almost) home! (Actually, as I write this you probably are home.) Tell B that there are only 8 weeks left until the spring equinox. He'll be glad to know all this white stuff will, eventually, go away...
Take time to settle in... but be aware that we will definitely be expecting more activity on the blog for the next year, as you chronicle B's development and interactions with his sisters!
welcome home!!!!!! Dena
