We went back to the orphanage in Leningrad today to see our little princess. She warmed up to us a little more and although very somber showed us a little more of her personality. She still wanted to be held most of the time and was very quiet but we did get to see one tiny smile. We only got to be with her for about 45 minutes yesterday but got 2 hours today. We will get to see her for a very short time tomorrow for the last time on this trip. While we are missing our boys terribly we will be glad to see her again when the next trip comes around.
It got much colder today and snowed off and on all day. We have yet to see the sun this whole trip. So far it has been gray out every day. The drive to Lenningrad is 2 hours each way. I asked our translator if the roads ever got bad enough that they had families that could not make it to the orphanage and she was very quick to answer "never". She said they never close the roads or schools down unless it is colder than -30 degrees.
