Ella turned four years old on April 25th and below are some photos of her special day and weekend. Her Godmother, Dawn and her daughter, Whitney came to Woodstock to celebrate Ella's birthday. We had a busy weekend planned ...........Friday night dinner at American Girl Resturant where Ella and Whitney got to bring their dolls; Saturday lunch at mexican restaurant; Saturday afternoon tea at Tea Leaves and Thyme and Sunday her party at Earth, Paint and Fire where they painted icecream bowls and ate icecream cake! She had such a wonderful birthday and was especially appreciative to spend quality time with Whitney and Dawn which made her 4th birthday so special!!!!!!

Spring Break - April 2010

Hi all, Below are some photos from our trip to Hilton Head North Carolina for spring break in April. We shared a three bedroom house with our dear friends Mike, Jill and Maya McFee. Evan brought his friend Jake Spencer and of course Ella and Maya spend unlimited time together. We spent our week biking, walking, shopping, hanging at pool and on the beach and just relaxing!!

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
