Dear Friends,
We hope this note finds you doing well, and that you enjoy reading this month's update.
Evan is 3 Years 9 Months Old.
Evan’s foster mom wrote this update:
The Spring Festival is coming, and everyone is so excited! Grandma came back home for the Festival, and when Evan saw her, he said, “Happy New Year, Grandma!”
During the festival, a lot of guests came to our home. Evan said hello to all the guests, brought chairs for them, and sang English songs. After a bit, he took out his puzzles of animals and nursery rhyme characters. He told the stories printed on the puzzles, making a lot of motions as he did, such as the story of “The Three Little Pigs.” The guests were very pleased and praised him profusely. His aunt said, “What a big boy Evan has become.” As the guests left, Evan told them that they were all welcome to come back. When the guests were gone, Evan tidied up the sofa, asked for a broom to clean the ground, and took the cups back to the table. His little sister, Polly, praised him, saying, “Evan is a real servant!”
When Polly and Evan play, sometimes Polly throws out her toys. Evan hurries to pick up the toys for her and never gets bored of helping her. He says, “Polly is my little sister, and I am her older brother. I should pick up her toys for her.”
One day Evan pointed to his new shoes and told his grandma that his American Dad bought him the shoes. Grandma asked him, “Will you go to your American Dad when he comes to pick you up?” Evan answered, “Yes.” Grandma then said, “We will miss you!” Evan said, “I will miss you too, but don’t worry, I will call you on the phone.” When shown a picture of his new family, he can find his new dad, mom, sister, and brother.
Evan is such a good little boy, and we treasure him a lot.
If you ever have any questions, please let us know. Thank you for your continued support.
Blessings,
New Day Staff

I translate/polish Polly's updates before they go out and it is always so neat to hear how she and Evan get along. He is such a good big brother to her. He will be missed dearly by her and his foster parents--but what a JOY that he is excited about you guys coming to get him. I can't believe you'll be leaving at the end of the week!!! (Or maybe before!) My prayers are going with you!! --Give everyone hugs--especially Samuel ;-) I'm sure your daughter has left you similar instructions (heehee)
Are you keeping up with posts while you travel? Just curious.
I cannot believe we got our last updates, can you??? As happy and excited for ust o travel to bring our boys home, my heart also aches for the families they will leave behind. The ones who have loved them for so long.
