Mar 1 - Chongqing

Hey check out the gotcha day video's I added a few more...
Estee woke up early again... This is her "play pen" while we are getting ready.


We loaded up the family, and a few of the men, and went into the wholesale market to purchase clothes for the orphanage with our donations.

Xi Xi does some serious negotiation, she was able to buy 120 set of baby clothes for about $2.50 each. They each came with two pants, one shirt, a hat and a bib!

She also got about 50 pairs of shoes for a similar price.



She needed several big strong "men", she asked for Taylor, for obvious reasons.


The booty.

The market




Cell phone battery anyone?


Have some noodles shop for a purse... at the same time!

After giving Estee a whole bottle, and she started crying like she wanted more, so we found that she will eat will eat cereal, she even ate small peices of cliff bar.








Estee is never without entertainment.



Today was a pretty slow news day... after the market we played around till lunch. Then caved into the kids begging for some regular food, and went to Pizza Hut. the pizza was actually really good. The afternoon was full of napping... Stacey did about 3 hours worth of paperwork for the adoption. We went to the Marriott for dinner with Scott, Dena and Piper to geve them their first taste of sushi. They liked it, and the place was really nice. I think well go back tomorrow for Steaks, the restaurant is on the 39th floor with a great view of the city.

Good Night

Well we feel like we were back in Hong Kong as we looked at the market photos. Glad you guys have more time to rest and eat pizza & steak.
The photos for this post and new videos of Feb. 26 are great. We want to take some to our Group tonight, but it is hard to decide which ones since they are all so good.
The sun is shining today so I'm sure all jobs will be working today. Love to you six.

I would like to be there shopping with you. It looks like a place to get some good bargains. Estee gets cuter by the day. It looks like she is adjusting really well. Do I see a new blacelet on her wrist? Stacey, you are such a good mother. I can see that are you radiant. Estee is a lucky little girl.

Love, Mom and Dad
