Russian Polka Dots

We've arrived and we are off to a very busy trip. We've had two great visits with Alex. He's got the chicken pox! Brack & I have never really seen chicken pox like these. We just hope that's what it is. The medicine they apply is a bluish green color, instead of our pink Calamine lotion.

Alex now has 8 teeth. By the time we get back in two weeks, he'll be eating steak and potatoes. I don't know if he remembered us, but he seemed pretty happy, even with a small fever. Brack taught him to make a clicking noise. So now when he wants Brack he will do this. I did get him to go to sleep today for his nap.

It's raining here today. We went over to Red Square for lunch. It's only a short walk from our hotel. Today's menu included Sbarro Pizza and a traditional American breakfast buffet. The hotel on this trip is much more Americanized and convenient.

The news coverage about Russia and Georgia is extremely interesting to say the least. No one here seems too concerned about it.

Brack and I are sooooo tired. I think the excitement and adrenaline on the first trip kept us from being so jet lagged.

Tomorrow we have court, so please pray for a favorable decision from the judge.
