Day Eight


And so the journey continues... After our morning visit with Julia (who again fell asleep in her Mom's arms after eating a hearty breakfast and playing with her parents) we went to the local electronic store to solve are camera woes. We are getting very good at sign language and will never again poke fun of foreigners who are visiting in the states! We hope to include a picture link to the blog so you devoted blog-readers can see this magical land through our eyes. A new couple from Philadelphia arrived today and we "Americans" took them to a Russian Pub [Taste of Life] for dinner. You wouldn't believe it but we have not had a bad meal yet! All in all, it's been a lazy and thoroughly enjoyable Saturday! We're "back home" in our hotel room to check our "mail" and blog then early to bed as we meet with the pediatrician in the morning to review Julia's medical records. With the welcomed input of some impressively qualified nursing, psychological and medical professionals back home, we think that in addition to being EXTRA-ordinarily cute, Julia is reasonably healthy and developmentally on cue. We are grateful to God and to all of you, our "home team" (thanks Tom and Dee!) who continue to support us in this great adventure of our lives! Love, C & B

What a doll! By looking at the flock of cribs in that room, Julia will have such peace, quiet, and privacy here in NJ!
I gobble up every word of your blog entries, and wish I was there. After this, Kazakhatan will become a vacation destination at AAA in West Orange!
Who knew?
The excitement is building for your return-seems like FOREVER, I am sure, but we are all here waiting patiently for the MILLERS!

It sounds like you're having an amazing experience. We love hearing about your journey and about our beautiful cousin Julia. We are anxious to meet her. We can't wait until Julia gets to play with Alyssa and Jeffrey. It's going to be so wonderful!
All our love,

Dear Carrie and Bruce,

What a priceless gift Julia is! I had chills as I saw her picture for the first time. God is good...so very, very good. She definitely was sent from heaven to be loved by you!

Seeing her in your arms and realizing the dream you have held on to for so long has finally come true, is amazing! I can feel your love and excitement as if you were standing right here next to me.

You have been in my thoughts and prayers constantly while I was out of the country. Coming home to see this precious little girl in your arms, so obviously loved by you, is magical.

I look forward to your updates and pictures. God bless each one of you and keep you safe on this miraculous journey. Love and more love... Ginny
