Trick or Treat and Thanksgiving 2009

Hello Everyone, I apologize for my lack of updates..... but here goes. October and November were fairly uneventful months other than the usual (work, school, church). Halloween was rainy but we did trick or treat to a few houses. Ella dressed up as Lilo from the Disney movie Lilo and Stitch. Our dear friend Susy Havas gave Ella the Lilo outfit. Susy's daughter, Jiselle, wore it when she was little. Ella had Halloween parties at preschool and at her dance class (photos below). Since the kids didn't have school on Election Day, we all tagged along with Paul on a business trip to Huntsville, Alabama (3 hr. drive from Atlanta) for the day. While Paul was in a meeting, Evan and his friend Wes went to the US Space & Rocket Center and Ella and I visited the Children's Museum. It was a really fun day for all!! Thanksgiving was spent with the Veith family at their beautiful cabin in north Georgia. We are very grateful and appreciative for our wonderful 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!


Happy 1st Birthday Ella
