August with Some "Ella" Attitude in Atlanta

Well it was a fairly typical August - hot, hazy and lazy in Atlanta and Ella watched her brother get on the bus to start high school this August. Dad had some sinus surgery and mom just enjoyed spending as much time as possible with you including watching you play with your "play" friends Dora, Mickey and Baby, taching you to pedal and dressing up as well. September arrives today and Ella is eagerly anticipating the arrival of her lifelong friend Maya (all the way from Yangchun, PRC)who is visiting in 2 weeks from her new home in West Virginia. Light Month on Pictures but we'll make up for this in September.

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!
