Big brother

Evan became a big brother on August 24, 2012, with the birth of Logan Coleman.  When visiting Logan for the first time at hospital, Evan was more excited about the toy train display there and hospital food more than "the baby", but he quickly warmed up to Logan since we came home.  Evan is super gentle to Logan (almost afraid to touch him), and sometimes fights with Nathan to give Logan kisses.

Goodbye Nutmeg, Hello Clementine

It's been 3 weeks since Evan transitioned classrooms (from Nutmeg to Clementine).  The teachers prepared the children well and he was very excited to start school again after a 5 day break.

On his last day in Nutmeg they had a mini-celebration with enchiladas that the children helped make and other yummy baked goods.  Two of the teachers are moving onto Clementine with the children, so that helped make the transition easier as well.

Saying goodbye to Teresa (whom Evan lovingly calls "Buresa"):

On Evan's first weekin Clementine, he was excited to see him old friends again, especially Lezhi whom he's developed a strong friendship with over the last several months, perhaps because they like being goofy together:
