January and February 2011

Wow.....2010 completed and 2011 here we come!!  We began January with plenty of cold weather.  The kids had no school for the entire week of January 10th due to ice and snow that would not melt because the temps stayed in the 20's. Paul was asked to participate in the Live Help Desk at 11Alive News.  He volunteered representing Wells Fargo Insurance Services.  He ended up staying at a hotel in Buckhead for four nights since it was too icey to get home.

February brought us a very big milestone.  Evan passed his driving test and received his drivers license!!!!  So of course, Paul and Evan went car shopping a couple of days later.  Evan got a white Ford Sportrac.  He looks so grown up driving it.....where did my baby boy go?????

The end of February, we celebrated "5" year gotcha day reunion with Maya and Molly.  We stayed at the Embassy Suites in Cinncinnati, Ohio.  The girls were so excited to spend the weekend together.  It is such a special bond that they have with each other.  Its so sweet to see them laugh, sing and just be girls.  Thank you Mike, Jill and Teresa for continuing to celebrate our girls blessing our lives!!

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
