District 5 Spring Regional...Here We Come!

I'm so excited to say, we have decided to go to Grand Rapids, Michigan for the '09 District 5 LPA Spring Regional in mid-April!! I wish I could say we were also going to the National Convention in NYC (I ♥ NY), but this is as good as it's gonna get this year. I'm so excited to get to meet more LP families, not only for Ellie's sake, but for my own self as well. I'm also hoping to see some familiar faces, too. I can't wait!!! I'll be taking tons of pictures and I'll post them as soon as I can.

I've also decided to head up to the Lil Hoosiers (Chap 24) get together next wk. The girls will have an absolute blast, I'm sure! The meeting/party will be at a indoor water park which is sure to be a hit for ALL the kiddos. It's a 2 hr drive, but it'll be so worth it. This really is the least I can do for Ellie....get her to as many LP functions as possible. Be sure to check back for pictures, b/c I'll be posting next wk. On a bummer of a note, we aren't going anywhere for Spring Break this year (insert BIG SAD FACE). Katie and Maddie are going to spend the wk with their dad so it will definately be quiet(er) next wk.

OH...I almost forgot! We are taking Ellie to see the ortho surgeon on Wednesday (Dr Lubicky) to hear him give his 2 cents. If you remember from an earlier posting...I don't have lots of love for the guy. But, I will hear him out. NO way will I allow him to operate on her when the time comes, but I will hopefully be able to lean on him for some post-op care. So...stay tuned! Looks like I'll have lots to share soon! Wish us luck!!!! ☺

I think we will be at the conference! I've volunteered to help and I'm just waiting to see where they need me. I'm so excited to meet you and Ellie in person!!

There are so many great people out that direction - we had a really great time last year at the National in Detroit, with a bunch of the families from that part of the country! Hope you guys have a blast! Too bad we won't see you in NY, but hopefully next year in Nashville?

Have fun - an indoor waterpark, Taylor would be soooo jealous! I would love to make the regional, but it is SOOOOO far from our house. We are going to the LPA meet-up at the National Zoo this weekend though, its a lot closer for us! Can't wait to see the pictures!

We won't be making to NYC this summer for National either, but we are planning on going to Nashville next year. Hopefully, we will meet you then!
