Al and I made a quick run to a Sogo, which is a HUGE department store. Kinda like a Neiman Marcus. Only nicer. WAY nicer. The elevator had 11 floors and 3 basement floors, although I don't know if all of them have merchandise on them. We got there when the store opened and the doors were open, but roped off. At 11am , the officers quickly took down the ropes and let every one in. There were workers lining the way in bowing at the customers as they entered. It was like getting the royal treatment! In the third basement was a supermarket. Very cool. The bottom two basement floors also had a lot of restaurants on them and I wish we had found the Sogo sooner so we could have eaten there. It seems to happen a lot, you find really cool stuff right before you have to get on the plane. Oh well, I'm sure we will be back some day!
We met another couple who adoped through our agency, Heather and Jeremy, and their little girl, Ellie. They are from Ohio. They were super nice and it was good to talk to someone who has gone through the same process. Ellie was six months old and very cute and very tiny. She slept through most of lunch and Trevor squirmed, but we went to Mr. Lai's, so he watched Trevor for a little bit so we got a chance to eat. Their blog is http://jeremy-n-heather.blogspot.com/ if you want to check them out.
Anyway - here are some pictures from today. I want everyone to notice T-Rex's shirt which says "property of mom forever"!
We can't wait to get home to see you guys and introduce you to Trevor! And we can't wait to see Grendel either. We haven't written a lot about her, but we miss that bucket of fuzz and hope that she will like her new baby brother!
Ps- For those of you who follow my fantasy team, I won this week, despite Plax's touchdown. However Tony Romo broke his pinkie and will be out for the next four weeks. (Whimp, real men play football with broken pinkies, quarterback or not!) Maybe Jake Delhome will have four big weeks. Anyway - it was a good fantasy season while it lasted!
