2 Year Gotcha Day Reunion in Nashville

February 09 ended up with a fun filled 2 year gotcha day reunion in Nashville, TN where we met the (Maya) McFee's and the (Molly) Mulligan's. The girls got along fabulously and had fun playing at a playplace, painting pottery and just jumping on the bed and playing ring around the rosey at the Embassy Suites (our home base). Ella actually needed to leave early Sunday morning to beat a Southeastern snow storm. We had about an inch in Nashville and while it snowed in Woodstock, it didn't stick, much to the dismay of Evan. Other highlights of the past month included a trip (sans Dad) to Orlando to see the Havas' and go to a Magic basketball game and Ella just being the happiest little girl around (pictured below painting). Plus, Ella, this post gets a picture of your mom and dad (pictured out at dinner with some of Dad's work friends).

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!
