Today we hit the wholesale mall, the regular mall and KFC. The Chinese people love KFC, McDonalds and Pizza Hut. The crowds in these restaurants is unreal. They even had a security guard inside KFC. We got some pearl earring's for the girls (yes, Ally we got you a pair also). Then we hit the mall. We actually didn't find much there. The clothes are little different in the mall compared to the shops around here. Kristine and Rebecca (our new guide) took us to the DVD store also. We got some DVD's for 2-5 dollars a piece. You cant beat that. Our new guide is as nice as Kristine. Mary did not come with us to Guangzhou so that is where Rebecca comes in. We tease her because she says everything twice to us. I told Raina she needs to be on Sesame Street. They both also tell us to "make sure to bring the babies"where ever we go. Like we would forget? After that we hit KFC. The guys love there KFC and the babies love the mashed potato's and gravy.After that we came back to the hotel and hit the shops around town. The clothes are so darn cute and so cheap. I picked up some Chinese gowns for Annaka
to wear in her yearly pictures up to age 5, they were around 3.50 a piece. The people in the stores follow you everywhere. Raina had a lady come up to her and tell her Laney was not dressed warm enough and her socks were to tight. This did not make Raina happy, and from now on Raina said she is going to tell them to mind their own business!! Tomorrow we will be getting the famous "red couch" pictures done. This is a tradition at the White Swan hotel. Here are some pictures to leave you with.. The one of Annaka is a smile. She is smiling a lot more. We did notice today that she smiles more at the Chinese people than us. We figured this is because that is what she has seen for 12 months.

We also want to say thank-you for all the postings and emails. It has been really nice to hear from everyone back home. I guess this blog thing wasn't such a bad idea after all.

Hi,we stopped at your place this morning to drop a few things off. Maryann and Gordy were getting ready to take the kids to Wabasa. Alyssa was disappointed because she was going to miss chimes @ church, so we took her there and she is going to spend the rest of the day with us. The kids had quite the conversation in the van about whether or not you would be breastfeeding Annaka. It was pretty funny to say the least!! Also Landon is convinced that Annaka's name is China. I've told him over and over that you are in China to get her, and that her name is Annaka. He still doesn't believe me!! We love the suite case picture. When will you actually begin your flight home??
We're thinking of you,
Love Stacey ,Alyssa, Keenan, Kennady, and Landon
Annaka looks so precious. Love the up-do!

Stacy's comment was a riot. How would the Wenzel children think any different after Stacy was so successful in breastfeeding her three and for such a long time. At least you will know where she came from when you are with Landon...cute - her name is CHINA! As Art Linklitter sais. 'Kids say the darnest things'.

so glad everything is still going well for you all!! cant wait for you to come home :)
anxiously waiting....
