This is the most pleasant-looking photo I could find of Russell on home leave! Being away from home is hard for Russell, but he really seemed to take refuge in his relatives and latched on to his aunts and uncles and cousins beautifully after the first few weeks of clinging to me. He also decided blue is his absolute favorite color and I had to constantly be washing the two blue shirts I had and the "cool" pants he liked.
