Happy Halloween from…
Seamus the jockey!
Grace the fairy!
And Liam the bumblebee!
This little man was on. the. move!
No picture posing for him! He had some serious trick-or-treating to do!
The whole crew had a blast. Another fabulous Halloween!
Last week we attended a great fall get-together hosted by the LPA Mid-Hudson chapter, which is headed up by Jimmy and Darlene Korpai. This was the chapter we belonged to before our very own Mohawk Valley chapter was formed! The turnout was great at Hurd’s Family Farm and there was so much to do!
The cow train was a huge hit! Even the adults enjoyed it!
The apple slingshot was hysterical, and there was quite the competition going among our LPA group!
Fun big slide, and of course apple picking!
Liam LOVES apples!
Of course, we can’t pass up a pony ride!
After lots of fun playtime, we loaded up for a hayride to a private area for a hot dog roast. We ate lots of yummy food and had a great time just chatting and meeting new friends.
A group shot, and…
the adorable kiddos!
We had so much fun….thanks Mid-Hudson chapter!
This August, Seamus and I and my mom were lucky enough to be able to attend the big reveal of Extreme Makeover Home Edition for the Korpai family! The Korpais’ daughter Hailey has achondroplasia, the same type of dwarfism as Seamus. We also met up with our friends the Weissers! It was a very long and busy day, but it was definitely an experience of a lifetime!
While waiting at the home site, we met many new LP friends!
It was so exciting to be so close to the action and literally watch the house transform before our eyes.
The boys had a great time!
It’s Ty! Seamus actually got an opportunity to have a quick “interview” with Ty when we first arrived…unfortunately I didn’t have my camera with me at the moment!
In front of the bus!
The Little Couple, Bill and Jen, stopped by to surprise the Korpais! We were all surprised as well!
Pauly stopped and chatted with the boys for a bit!
Ty is getting ready to welcome the family home.
It was such a fun day and we were so happy to be there to support the Korpais and LPA. We couldn’t be luckier than to be a part of this wonderful extended LPA family. The Korpais have been working tirelessly on advocating and educating the public through their Understanding Dwarfism project – please take a moment and check it out! Welcome home, Korpai family!
It’s that time of year again! Our annual fall picture-taking event in Manchester, VT. Our beloved fence is shrinking every year…the sections we stood in front of last year have been taken down! Hopefully at least a little fence will survive another 30 years for the tradition to continue!
My Gracie girl!
My handsome man Seamus!
And my littlest love Liam! (It’s hard to believe that last year he was just a squished-up little bundle of newborn baby sitting on the fence!)
Our family! This is one of my favorite traditions and we were lucky to not only have my parents and sisters with us this year, but aunts, an uncle and cousins with us as well!
Then it was on to the Hildene craft fair, where Seamus scored himself an awesome Vew-Do balance board.
He impressed the company’s owners with his skill on the board, and they surprised him with a hat! Is he cool or what???
Another Vermont trip behind us, but another fun fall ahead of us…looking forward to enjoying my favorite season!
