Our First LPA Event

We attended our first LPA event on Sunday! It was really fun and great to talk with other adults and kids with dwarfism. There weren’t as many people there as we had expected, but that may have been for the better. We were able to talk to almost everyone. We met some really great people, and had some really great conversations. Maybe most importantly we saw our friend Connie and met some of her family. Connie works in the NICU at St. Mary’s, where Olivia spent her first four months of life. I think Olivia remembered Connie too. She smiled a lot for her and was totally comfortable when Connie held her! I didn’t get many pictures that day, but here's a couple.

Olivia with Connie. She loves touching faces these days!



Just a quick family shot!

I'm so glad that you guys had a great time at your first LPA event! Olivia is so adorable!! That is great that she took to Connie too. The NICU staff really do get attached to our little ones, especially after 4 months.
