May and June 2011

In May, the kids finished another year of school on May 27th. Evan completed 11th grade and Ella graduated from preschool. June was a busy start of our summer. Ella had two weeks of vacation bible school (week and our church and another week at Hillside Methodist Church). Evan spent a week in Boonville, Arkansas with his youth group from church serving the community in Boonville. The last week of June, Ella participated in Safety Town Program (program designed for upcoming kindergarteners teaching them all about swim, bus, bike, etc. safety). Evan also participated in Safety Town again this year as a volunteer. June was so busy....I'm exhausted just recalling and typing it. See you all in July !

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
