We are now one of Grace's sponsors at Philip Hayden.  On Monday, I got our first sponsorship packet in the mail.  There was a wonderful page with 3 sections to cut and share with others.  Each section had a picture of Grace and her name and birthdate.  I emailed the sponsorship coordinator to see if she could email the file to me so I could make extras for our family.  She emailed me several files and one of them was an amazing update sheet on Grace! 

This is what it included:

Name:  Vira
Chinese Name:  Fu Shuangshuang
Birthday:  Oct. 19, 2006
Where I live:  House of Peace
Favorite toy:  balloons
Personality type:  outgoing
Favorite friend to play with:  Holly
Favorite thing to do:  eat
New Accomplishments  I am learning some words
Matched with a family:  Yes
Attends school or pre-school:  No
Medical Update:  I am doing well and my arm is doing great!

What an absolutely amazing surprise!
