This was the best weekend ever! We had such an amazing time. We got to see so many people and meet so many more families. Everyone wanted to meet Lyla because she is the newest member of the LPA. As always we were welcomed with open arms. The regional was a 3 day event starting on Friday, March 25. We got to the hotel around 4 pm and we all got ready. Here are several pics from that wonderful night!

| At the party was a company who did airbrushing. I had this T-Shirt made. Everyone loved it! By the end of the weekend people took my slogan! It was the phrase of the weekend. |
The morning of Saturday, March 25th we were tired but ready to start a very long and fun-filled day. We dropped Emma off at the "Kid Room" and off we went to workshops. At 12:00 we picked her up for a photo shoot appointment for a website Jim and Darlene Korpai are putting together to help educate the public on dwarfism. But Emma's face was painted so we left her in the kid room and Eddie, Lyla and me took the pics. Once I have them I will post them online. We ended up going back at 4:15 to take more photos of the 4 of us! It was great and we are so happy we will be a part of the website! We can't wait for the finished product!

After the photo shoot we went and got Emma and we went out to lunch. A place called "Houstons". Then we took the girls to the Nassau Children's Museum. Emma had a lot of fun running around with her dad!

| I was eating Twizzlers and decided to give one to Lyla. She loved it! LOL |
We all showered and got ready for the evening! I didn't take that many photos because there was a really cool photo booth there and we kept going into that and taking pics. Here are a few from the Banquet dinner.

The end to a FABULOUS weekend! We left that night and got home around 11:00 pm. We were all exhausted! We can't wait for more regional parties! Our chapter really knows how to host a party! Mike and Karen did an amazing job organizing such a spectacular event. Emma keeps talking about the weekend and she keeps saying she wants to go back to the hotel! We all want to go back!
