The Best Christmas Presents

This Christmas, more than ever, the Miller family was reminded that the miracle of God's love through the gift of our families is very precious.

Merry Christmas

Just had to sneak in one more picture of her playing at the hotel. Good news! The missing luggage was delivered today! Thanks for all of the extra prayers. Have a very Merry Christmas!

Calming Down

We have only been home for a full day, but things are calming down. Grocery shopping and laundry are done. Still no sign of the missing luggage. Snapdragon has her days and nights mixed up and has a cold. Long nights ahead, but she is a true joy! Just look at those cheeks! We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I hope you enjoy the photos. (Just a few of over the 400 we took!)

We Are Home!

Sorry about not being able to update the site while in China. I could blog, which was difficult, but couldn't upload photos. The top photo was taken about 10 minutes after they placed Li Mei in my arms. The bottom is playtime in the hotel room. Li Mei is beautiful and healthy! A real joy. She loves to play and laugh and shows no signs of developmental difficulties. Yes, she sucks her thumb! She weighed 19.6 pounds at her physical in China.



We had a wonderful, but long trip and are very thankful to be home. Thank you for all of your prayers for safe travel. Now, one more request, pray that our missing luggage with all of Li Mei's clothes and items that we purchased is returned.

I'll post more tomorrow! Lot's of love to all!

We are in Guangzhou!

This is actually a test post to see if we can get this to work. We will go get the baby in two hours. Here is a photo of Buttercup in the White Swan! Hong Kong was like a whirlwind, but saw some exciting things and rode on a sampan in the harbor of the South China Sea. Love to all!
