Happy Birthday Evan!

Today our youngest son turned 9 years old! He was born in Seoul, South Korea on Feb 1, 2002. About a year ago Evan, being the incredibly bright boy that he is, noticed something on a globe called the "International Date Line".   When he learned that line means that Korea is a full day ahead of us, he promptly notified us that we were celebrating his birthday a day too late.   So now we stretch his birthday celebration out over a full two days ~ Jan 31 (cause its Feb 1 in Korea), and again on Feb 1 here.  Evan was a mere 4 months old when he joined our family and every year at this time, I am especially thankful to his birth mother and to the foster mom who took such good care of him in Korea.

  1. That is such a nine year old thing to do-what a smartie he is. And handsome, too. Hope you all enjoy the birthday celebration(s).
