January 08 Atlanta Snow

Bracing for a pretty hectic February, January 2008's highlight was snow in Atlanta and Ella was able to enjoy it with her brother. We also participated in Atlanta's FCCA Chinese New Year celebration, where we were able to see some friends we started the adoption process with, Jason and Denise Ellis along with son Bruce and daughter Lana. Oh and Ella continues to be curious and mischievous (sp?). One of her favorite words is MESS and she is sure good at making them as evidenced by the picture below. We promise a longer update with more pictures in Feburary!

More Pictures to Complete our Double Issue (See below)

Ella loved her new friend Reece Pratt (John's daughter!) It was great to see John and meet his new family.
Ella got to see Sydney and Ethan for lunch (Alex was with Evan at a 1 day camp when we took this!)
Ella saying Hush! Another bonus throw in! With her Nona, Ella, Mom and Evan - Nona at almost 91 years young! With her Aunt Ray and Uncle Morris (it's a miracle Uncle Morris is still with us and we took advantage!

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
