Thursday:
-Got off work early. Woo hoo!
-Celebrated my sister in law's 21st birthday! She is currently undergoing chemo/radiation for Stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma, so it wasn't quite as wild of a time as the average 21st birthday party. (She isn't allowed to drink. Oh the irony. Her friends and family sure seemed to pick up the slack though.) My in-laws hosted a great BBQ for her and about 30 of her closest friends. Afterwards we all went to Llywelyn's in Webster to see Jake's Leg. (A Grateful Dead Cover band that SIL enjoys.) It was a great time. I think she had a great 21st despite the circumstances.
Friday:
-Enjoyed a little pool time at my grandpa's.
-Went to McGurk's for a few pre-game beverages and fried foods.
-Went to the Cards/Cubs game with my husband and sisters. We ended up losing, but it was an exciting game and the loss didn't seem quite so bad when the fireworks started up. Went to Shannon's afterwords to wait out the traffic. The whole fireworks thing ending at the exact same time as the Card's game = TRAFFIC DISASTER.
Saturday:
-Another day at the pool. The billowy clouds and cool breeze sort of fooled me. I got a little too much sun.
-Went to our good friend's Jeff and Laura's house for another BBQ and to hang out with our god-daughter Kate. She is the cutest thing in the world and just started crawling. She is obsessed with the vent/registers when the cool air is blowing out. Hilarious. Here's a pic. She was not too thrilled about being pulled away from the register.
Sunday:
-A lazy day. Had my Dad, uncle and grandpa over for dinner. They are currently all bachelors with no cooking skills and can always use a home cooked meal.
That's about it. It was a great weekend which made it infinitely harder to get up for work this morning. Why can't they all be three day weekends?!

My MIL had Hogkins about 20 years ago. Your SIL is so young! However, if I've learned anything it's that cancer can touch anyone. My thoughts and good wishes go out to her.
