February and March 2010

February and March were fairly easy going for us. Ella continued her Chinese Language and Culture classes (China Tree) on Saturday mornings as well as dance class on Mondays and school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Evan got his driving permit on February 9th.....he was relieved to have passed the test. Since Paul is such a good driver himself (?!?!), he is teaching Evan how to drive....that is so scary (ha! ha!). Please keep us in your prayers as we move into this phase with him.

Beautiful!!
The last weekend of February we celebrated Ella, Maya and Molly's Gotcha Day (2/25/2007) in Sevierville, Tennessee. Last year, we celebrated gotcha day in Nashville, TN and this year at the Wilderness at the Smokies. The girls enjoyed swimming in the waterpark, painting pottery and playing in the room. These girls have a very special bond that we will celebrate every year!! See you all in April.....

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!
