The Last Week

Last Tuesday we packed up our bags and jumped in the car around 2:00p to drive to Chicago at the last minute. Doyle (Jason's mom's husband) was there getting cancer treatment but got moved to the ICU that day because his body was not responding well to the chemo. We went to be with Jason's mom and Doyle. We got home late Saturday night.

A cancer treatment center is not exactly the best place for a two year old BOY, let me just say that! There was lots of bouncing off of the walls the first day. But there was a lot of room outside to run and play and ride his trike (which we took).

We stayed in the guest quarters with Rhonda (it was like a hotel). I found my two boys doing this after nap time one day. What could be capturing their attention so intensely?

The Cardinals and the Cubs tied in the 9th inning! We were sitting in Chicago as they were playing at Wrigley. :)
Abram's favorite part about the cancer treatment center was the fish aquarium near the entrance. Especially this "big fish."
I can't say I've ever seen a fish like this before.
Before we came home we drove a couple miles to the beach of Lake Michigan. It was cool and starting to rain, but they still had fun.

I love this one!
Grandma Rhonda joined in the fun after while.
While I didn't get any pictures with her, I also got to have lunch with my friend, Eve, who just moved to Chicago. She is getting married THIS weekend in Chicago so we will be back to the Windy City in just a few short days.
