Ella's last 2 year old post

This will be Ella's last 2 year old post...Time flies when you are having fun. I am writing this as we just took down Ella's crib and tonight she sleeps in her big girls bed for the first time. Potty training is going well - Ella has it about mastered...except when she reverts to her stubborn side (yes, our sweet girl isn't always an angel!). Highlights of this past month included Jared Freschman's Bar Mitzvah in Delaware, where Ella danced with her family and had a great time at the party. We then followed that up by driving to West Virginia to spend a few nights with the McFee's at a cabin at the New River Gorge. While the weather wasn't great, the girls had a wonderful time celebrating their birthdays early by making cupcakes (and licking the icing, roasting marshmallows, going in the hot tub with Evan and having an Easter Egg hunt) and we all enjoyed the natural beauty of West Virginia. Below are some pictures from Delaware and West Virginia.

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
