A Quote from Matthew: "That's it! I'm done- let's go home!"
We will be heading from our hotel tomorrow morning at 7:15 am. It will be a long day with a flight from Guangzhou to Beijing and then a 5 hour layover. Then the long flight back to Chicago and finally the van ride to Milwaukee. We estimate we should get home around 8:00pm on Thursday! Yea! We are so excited!
Thanks for taking the journey with us. I know it might not make sense, but having the blog actually helped a lot with not being quite so homesick. I also know I got a little wordy, but part of my reasoning is that this is a keepsake for both Matthew and us. So rather than try to do both a journal and a blog - I just did the blog because then the pictures are included.
We will do one final post when we get home just to let you know that we arrived home safely. Then the best is yet to come because we can't wait to see all of you in person. Don't be afraid to call to come visit!

Dear Family.
Please consider this my phone call before the visit. I'll be waiting for you at your house.
Your blog is a wonderful keepsake. We really felt we were part of this miracle journey. The tears of joy are flowing as I'm writing this.
God blessed us with a wonderful family. Abby has brought us more joy than you will ever know. Matthew has expanded our hearts already and we have not even had a chance to give him a hug or kiss (can't wait). We feel we know our grandson because of your blog. Thank you for including us on this wonderful journey.
Have a safe trip home. God bless. We cannot wait to see you.
Love, hugs and kisses from Grandma and Grandpa Buettner.
What?! No more blog after you come home? Um, you have FOLLOWERS now. Just because Grandma and Grandpa Buettner will be glued to Matthew, Abby, and the Buettner crew from now on, doesn't mean that the adorable pictures and updates need to stop for the rest of us!
Okay, I'm kidding...... kind of.
Reading the grandparent post made me a little teary- the kids are so lucky to have such wonderful grandparents....
You are probably on your way home by now. We can't wait to see all of you! We have really loved following your journey. The girls have been making regular visits to the blog as we have it bookmarked in our favorites. There is a really good chance that the Underbergs will be paying a (quick) visit when we hear all the noise next door! Thanks for taking us all to China with you!

Thanks guys for the fun! The kids loved the pictures and sharing your journey! We feel like we know Matthew and we also learned a lot about China! The kids have been counting down the days until you get home! We hope to meet Matthew and play soon!
