An EXTREME Post

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!

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!
