The flight was fast and easy and even more enjoyable because our very dear friends, Joshua and Stefanie, were on the very same flight. They are shuffling off to Buffalo for the Thanksgiving weekend and Stef kindly changed seats with Kevin so that he and Joshua could sit next to each other and be silly.
Kevin and I were so happy that good friends were on our flight - they walked with us to baggage claim where we exchanged heart-ful hugs before we went our separate ways. Having them here with us today makes me feel less alone and anonymous.
Now we're settled into the hotel. It's zen-like and very peaceful and I think that it's the perfect place to return to with our little girl tomorrow afternoon. Exactly 24 hours from this very moment we'll be meeting her and taking her into our arms.
But for now, we're collecting our thoughts and settling into the room. We're going to go back into the airport for a late lunch and we look forward to coming back to the hotel early this evening to soak in the hot tub and prepare for tomorrow.

We are so excited for the both of you - we just can't wait to see pictures of the three of you together. Thanks for the post and bringing us along on the journey!
What fun to have friends on your flight! Glad to hear you landed safe and sound and are relaxing tonight. Can't wait to hear from you tomorrow - Grandpa has his skype on and ready for the next few days. Thinking of you and sending our prayers.....

YAY! This is your last night.... Life begins now! I am giggling and I have the chills and I bet I will be sleepless tonight thinking of you! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!
Ironically, I was just talking to our dear sweet friend Jenny yesterday and we brought up Ivy in our conversation. Who knew you would be on a flight the very same day to pick her up. I am so excited for you. Can't wait to meet her. Shan
All of us holding down the fort at SCLS have been thinking about the three of you today. Peter and Ann dropped by, too. We all send our best welcome to Ivy and are sharing your joy at a distance.
