January 2010.........let it snow in Georgia......

Happy January, We wish everyone a happy and healthy 2010. We started the year with snow - yes I did say snow....... and we have photos to prove it. Actually it was snow and mostly ice but the kiddos loved it. Schools closed for two days. A majority of the ice didn't melt because the temps were too low. Along with pre-school and dance class, Ella is now attending a Chinese Culture and Language School (China Tree). She attends a 1 1/2 hour class on Saturday mornings. I (mom) participate in the class with her. The class is set up on a pre-school level (songs, class time, crafts etc.). It is alot to learn..... Chinese language is really hard especially with the four different tones. It is nice to see her with other children from China. See you in February......

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!
