Believe it or not, Gene and I and Abbey got to work while we were in Shenzen. My friends were doing a promotion at Sam's Club and we worked at the booth to promote their new school. Abbey go to to chew on leggos and attract attention while we worked the crowd. This is next door to the world headquarters for WalMart. My friends also took me in to Sam's to buy Chinese DVD's and books for Abbey. We got Cinderella, Curious George, Mickey Mouse, and some only known in China. My total bill was less than $10, DVD's are $1 here, and Sam's are all legal copies. Since most of the Chinese population know nothing about the orphanages, they are all very curious as to how I have a Chinese baby. (Especially since I got the cutest,sweetest one in all the land of China!)

Hey & you thought it was only going to be a "fun" trip-just a vacation! Sounds like it was a great time even if it was work! Pic #0295 of ZZ looks so darn cute! The other one that is darling is the one with the tire truck in her mouth! She must need to chew for her teeth coming in! She looks like one happy little baby with her Mommy & Uncle Gene in tow! I am so thrilled for you & Uncle Gene. Can't wait to see all of you once you get home. Lots of Love & Prayers to All of You--especially cutie pie ZZ!

Christi,
Be sure to check the "region" settings on the DVDs that you purchased. US/Canada has a different region than China, so the DVDs you purchase in China might not play on your US DVD player. US/Canada code is "1" and China's code is "6". Just a FYI.
