It was a very enriching experience for all of us. It felt so nice to talk to people who know exactly what we are going through and who understand the joys and challenges of raising a child with dwarfism. Sam hung out with a 14 year old girl, Rachel, and had a blast. Rachel has achondroplasia, just like Anaïs. I am very excited about this Vegas chapter and we are looking forward to attending many more events!
Unfortunately, I only took one picture.
This is a picture of Sam with 14 year old Rachel.
And I just had to post this picture of Anaïs because it is so funny! I put on her Sam's Minnie Mouse sunglasses!

Woot! Glad it went well! So, spring regional in Vegas?? Just asking!!
J'adore trop fun la photo d'Anaïs, trop choupi !
Cool pour le LPA event, c'est super important de pouvoir rencontrer des familles vivant la même chose que vous et de rencontrer des personnes avec le handicap, de voir comment ils le vivent. Rachel respire la joie de vivre c'est encourageant je trouve ! Gros bisous
J'ai oublié, je trouve Sam magnifique. Elle grandit bien et je vois qu'elle est très proche de sa soeur, c'est beau !
Glad to hear that your first event was so great! I can't wait to attend an LPA event with Seamus. Anais looks so cute in those glasses!
I'm happy to hear that your first LPA event was a success! It looks like Sam had fun with her new friend! Anais is adorable in those glasses!
Thanks for the comment on my blog!! I, at one time spoke fluent French--after living there when I was a missionary, mais apres de temp, j'ai oblie. I don't have too many opportunities to use it in Northern VA!
We haven't been to an LPA event yet...my son has hypo.
How exciting! Our Dallas chapter hasn't done anything since July, but it feels good to go and meet people. Anais looks so cute in those glasses!!
I'm so glad that you had a great time at the LPA event. I can still remember ours - it was the October Pumpkin Patch trip, 3 years ago. Our chapter is so warm and welcoming to the new families. I always look forward to our next event, which luckily is just about every other month. I love the glasses on Anais! Too cute!
I'm so glad you had a great time at your first LPA event! Too cute the picture of Anais with the minnie mouse glasses!
Anais is too funny, the look on her face with those glasses!!! How cool that you got to an event, the WV chapter is inactive and has been since before we joined, apparently, so we haven't made it to an event yet. Glad Sam had a good time!
Did someone say spring regional in Vegas? We're there!
On a serious note, the people we have met through our chapter have been wonderful and what a great resource. I hope you'll have many more great experiences with your chapter.
Alex!
Love the new picture of the girls in your blog header. Cute!!!
Cool you attended your first LPA event - what a fun opportunity!
