It is amazing to think that we have been at home for a week. We are happy to be home and are almost completely over any jet lag, but we do miss our time in China.
The photos are from our last full day in China. The first three are on the famous red couch in the White Swan with all of our kids. The fourth one is of Sarah Beth with Danielle (Tao Tao) Tanski. The fifth one is of us in front of the US Consulate before we went in to be sworn in.
Sarah Beth is continuing her transition to life as a Miller and is really settling in nicely. I got home tonight from a business trip to New Jersey and was so pleased to see her personality starting to blossom. She was pleased to see me and let me play with her, but is still not crazy about me holding her. She has gotten over her fear of Molly and lets her come right up to her. She calls Molly "gog" and is using ge ge (Chinese for big brother) for Josh and Noah. Abby is "Ah".
We will add some pictures of our homecoming that friends took when we get a chance. I want to say again a big "THANK YOU" to all of you who came to welcome us home. It was truly overwhelming to see you there.

Great to see the pictures! The family looks so dapper in the chinese clothes. I can't get over how big Josh looks. We are hosting a First Friday for adoption tonight and so wish you all could be here.
