June/July 2008 Including Ella's 3rd Country Visit!

As July, 2008 winds to a close, we wanted to remember the special month we had beginning with a great trip to Tampa (Innisbrook Resort) with our friends Jamie and Susie over July 4th weekend and culminating with a trip July 19-26 to Turks and Caicos with Ellas grandma and grandpa as well as cousins Mike, Melissa and their daughters, Brianna and Elyse. Below are some pictures from Turks and Caicos, including swimming up to the pool bar (cool), enjoying the night life with her mom, kissing Elmo, swimming in the ocean with mom and laughing with Brianna and Elyse watching Blues Clues! Ella especially thanks Grandma and Grandpa for the memorable trip - She is also pictured with Grandpa on stage at Beaches and with the Entire Family after dinner at her favorite Beaches restaurant, Schooners.

Welcome to Ella's Blog

Hi everyone, Welcome to Ella Sarah Lazar's first blog.

How it Started

Laura, Evan and I will be updating this blog as we prepare to travel to Yangchun, China. Yangchun is located approximately 160 miles southwest of Guangzhou, in Guangdong Province, China. We just received our match (referral) on Thursday January, 4th 2007 and aim to travel 4-8 weeks from this date (most likely 7-8 weeks as the Chinese New Year falls during this period).

Watching Ella Grow

Thanks for visiting - we had so much fun updating this blog during our trip to China, that we decided keep Ella's blog updated (once a month) to watch her (and Evan) grow up in front of our very eyes!
