We're home safe and sound!
After 27 hours of traveling, we've made it home. We were a bit of a mess, especially TJ and his sleep schedule, but it could have been much worse.
We were greeted at the airport by Gramma and Pop Pop. TJ and Papa slept in the car on the way home, while mama lived up to her "little puker" nickname (luckily, we made it home just in time).

The two Timothys (TJ's namesakes are our two fathers - Timothy and James)
And TJ had a big welcome home sign waiting for him courtesy of Aunt Pat and Uncle Joe.
Today the grandparents stopped by and helped around the house, made dinner and brought welcome home ice cream cake for TJ, which he really didn't eat - in Kazakhstan they don't give children cold food or drinks, so he really didn't know what to do with it. I think that will change soon though :).
Thanks everyone for your well wishes. We know people have enjoyed this blog so we will continue to update periodically. Also now that we are in the world of high-speed internet we will post many more pictures on Shutterfly.com for people to view (we have over a thousand, but don't worry, we'll just do "best of"). It's just going to take me a few days, so check back next week!
Happily at Home,
Lisa, Jon and TJ

Welcome Home!
So glad to hear you all had a safe trip.....It has been a very rewarding experience being able to track this whole journey with all 3 of you. Have a great summer!!! Can't wait to see all the pictures of TJ as he gets acclimated to his new home!

Jon, Lisa, and TJ,
Welcome home. Time to get some rest and enjoy.

Everyone has been asking if he looks like his pictures. YES! He is adorable, loving, and curious. We got our first hugs within a day and our first big TJ smile within ten minutes. Lisa and Jon are great parents!
Love to all,
Barb and Tim (Gramma and Pop Pop)
And TJ is a real Miller...two helpings of mashed potatoes! He loved playing with the balloons and he just loves the two kitty cats (probably more than they love him!) He helped his mama blow out the candles on her belated birthday cake and struggled to keep his eyes open long enough to meet his grandparents.
Welcome home. Glad to see that you all made it back safely. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Jackie
Welcome home, Lisa, Jon & TJ. I have really enjoyed following your amazing journey. Even though you've just arrived back in America, your adventure as a family is still only beginning. Enjoy every precious minute.
