Can't Wait!

Almost 2 full weeks away... As sad as it is for vacation to end, it's always nice to come home.  Home to our dogs, home to our comfy bed which usually gets bombarded by our dogs, home to Lucia's nursery and cozy crib, home to our big soft couch which also usually gets bombarded by dogs, home to our humble little abode, and home to plan for a party that is just 1 week away!
The St. Lucia White Party.  The St. Little Lu White Party.  It's about a little girl that came into our life a little less than 17 months ago.  My dear friends and co-hosts of the party have been doing more than I can say...and Jason and I couldn't be more excited.  There will be live music from Jamaican native- Herman Wynter, Caribbean cuisine by the Saucy Chef-Kim Hicks, a Candy Bar by Elyse Slayton, a most generous array of silent auction items, open bars, raffle items, information about PKS Kids, and some other festivities throughout the night.  And beside us, amongst friends, the guest of honor-our little girl.  Our little St. Lucia.  Little Lu, Lubird, our Light.  I love planning this party with my friends-Kim, Laura, Megan, and Elyse.  I love seeing the guest list grow.  I love helping design the perfect White Party for PKS Kids.  I even love asking for silent auction item donations.  And I love that this is all because of a little angel named Lucia.  I'm blown away so many times by the generosity, the excitement, the help, the planning...it sometimes seems like a dream.  It's truly amazing.
One week from today we will have the Second Annual St. Lucia White Party to help raise funds, awareness and spread the love about these precious kids affected by a crazy syndrome called Pallister-Killian Syndrome.  We can't wait.  I'm so proud of my little girl.   I love you Lucia. I love all that make this night possible...
