We watched the new Hannah Montana movie last night. I was definitely unsure about what I was getting myself into going into the theater. It stated with a Hannah Montana look a like contest. There were some girls who went all out, wig and all and others who just showed up for the movie. Esther was one who just showed up. Needless to say she didn't win, but did get a poster. It has Hannah on one side and Miley on the other. Who could ask for more? Really, although not my choice of movie, it was worth it to see Esther singing and dancing and so into the movie. Although she didn't know the new songs in the movie, she was able to sing a long to all the old songs. Who would have thought my 4 year would be so into what is in.

The last few weeks have definitely been a roller coaster so to speak. We spent 8 days in Maryland visiting (some would accuse over stimulating) my little brother. Maybe we did overstimulate some, but we are Laci's and we tend to do that anywhere we go, why make the ICU any different. My brother is showing improvement everyday and has all the doctor's amazed (something else we Laci's are good at I guess). While there we stayed with my sister in laws parents. They are probably the kindest people ever to take us all in for a week. It was me, Matt, Esther, my two sisters, my sister's two kids, my other sister's husband,my older brother, and his daughter. I can just imagine what it was like to go from a quiet house of two to a house of 2 plus 10 Laci's. They taxi'd us to and from the airport daily and fed us. Way more than they had to do and we surely do appreciate it.

I have about 5 weeks left of school. I tried to get as much of my assignements done as I could over spring break and am glad that I did, considering I missed an entire week of school and am having an extrememly hard time getting my motivation back. It was worth it though, seeing Philip and Megan, and just being there.

I have learned a lot through all of this. Mostly, not to take anything for granted and to be thankful for my family and friends. God has truly blessed my family and shown that even in 2009 He can and does still work miracles. On that note, please, please continue praying for Philip and Megan. Megan has been such a blessing to our entire family and has proved (not that we questioned it) that she and Philip truly do complete each other.

Love ya all and I will post again soon...maybe
