Sorry for leaving you hanging!

We didn't mean to make anyone worry. Thursday was a very tough day for little Abbey. She is teething with big molars coming in and running fevers off and one and she was also really grieving so I really didn't take pictures. She did have her first strawberry ice cream (about 3 spoonfuls) and her first McD's french fry. She gnawed on that for about 1 1/2 hours. We went to the Civil Affairs office again for more paperwork and then on to get Abbey's passport application filled out. We then went to a WILD shopping area that makes Times Square look boring. We went to a very nice department store for baby things. It was all I could do just to get through the day but I loved every minute of taking care of her, even when she is having a difficult time.
We left early Friday to go to Shenzen to visit friends. Gene and I and ZZ took the train 1 hour to Shenzen and then 1/2 hour on the subway to where our friends live. We had a wonderful time and just returned this morning. While there we were unable to access hotmail or blogger, so that's why you didn't hear from us. ZZ is a great little traveller! She can just pack up and go with the flow and is actually very happy to be out where the action is.

    What a great experience for all of you. Abbey looks like she is enjoying herself so much. I love the little girls crawling over the table to get a closer look at the book and the hand game on the table. Abbey seems to be a good imitater that is great to see. You must have some good teething meds in that medicine kit of yours. Hope she is not too uncomfortable.

    Abbey is looking great! I hope you got the bag of stuff that I left for you. When we came by at 5:45am there was no floor attendant, but I left it for you with your name on it. Hopefully you got it.

    I am glad that you all had a good time visiting your friends. The school looks really cool--what a neat project.
    Abbey is so cute! I was smiling at the pictures where you are reading--Abbey is sitting up there beside you like she has done that a million times with you. I hope everyday brings more comfort for Abbey and rest for you.

    I love the fact that Abbey is still holding the bottle top! Greg did that too- it even looks like the same kind!
    Can't wait to see you guys!
