November 2010

Below are various photos and videos from our Thanksgiving family vacation.  The Lazar's (Paul's parents - Lynn and Marty, Paul's brother and his kids - David, Alex, Sydney and Ethan) and Havas's (Jamey, Susy, Justin, Jiselle and Jayson) went on a 7- day cruise to St. Maarten, St. Thomas and Coco Cay Bahamas.  The weather was a little chilly in the beginning but as soon as we headed south, it was beautiful and warm.  We all had such a wonderful time with our family and great 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
