Nov/Dec 2008 B4 Christmas

Hi all, Well no excuses Ella in that Dad is a few weeks late posting this update - we're already almost to Christmas, 2008 and our upcoming annual trip to NY to celebrate but first lets review the last month and a half or so...Ella went on another trip solo with her mom - this one to Minnesota in November to visit Preston. One of the highlights was visiting the Mall of America with Preston where they went on many rides (and mom didnt quite feel so well afterwards!) Most importantly it was Preston's 3rd birthday that weekend. Also Ella continues to enjoy dance class with Addison and I believe her first performance is slated for May of 2009 - that ought to be fun! Thanksgiving saw a return to Featherstones to celebrate with several neighborhood families. And Ella, I even snuck in a picture of Mom and Dad at an adults dinner with the neighbors...

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!


Happy 1st Birthday Ella
