Return to Russia

I arrived last night in Russia, all is well. I spent about 3 hours with Hughes today at the orphanage. He seemed very leery of me for about the first 20 minutes then he seemed to remember who I was. By the time I left there this evening he would run to me and wrap his arms around my legs and want me to pick him up and hold him. We spent a lot of time playing with the orphanage toys and the toys that I brought back with me, which are the same toys that I had brought the first trip 4 MONTHS AGO. He weighs about 24 pounds and has gotten taller than when I was here (7cm taller). The orphanage director says that eating is a priority for him. I will get to visit and play with him about an hour each day for the next 3 days, then court on the 4th day. I hope to write more each day, but I am having computer issues at this hotel with my laptop. Good ole Windows Vista is not cooperating with the Russian internet.
