The 4th of July 2009
There are certain things in life you feel grateful for. This year I was so happy that our family still got to enjoy the 4th of July at the beachclub. It was a beautiful day. Not to hot and not to cold. Lilly's counts were way up so she was able to do her thing. WE wen to the beach to do our Annual Sand Castle Contest. We have won the last 2 years. My husband Brian usually does it but he was with Andre coaching a baseball tournament all weekend so our friends Denise and Costa took charge. It was a great day .We built a table and chairs this year.All the kids participated even Lilly.Her friends Caitlyn,Tess,Kerry,Maria,Alex,Noah,Jackson all helped. It was a masterpiece...We all still had a pot luck dinner with our friends and watched the fireworks in Seabright like we do ever year at the beach.Lilly sat with Claire on a lounge chair with blankets.Claire is like Lilly's big sister. She loves her so much . They have such a special bond.She has been with Lilly all summer. I hired her to spend time with Lilly for the summer. Claire will be leaving in the fall for college but I felt it was needed for Lilly to have someone other then Brian and myself for her to spend time with. Little did I know that Chemotherapy would not keep or Lilly down She has become the ultimate planner and goal setter..GO LILLY GO ..is our motto.. Lilly will beat this disease!
OH...WE DID WIN THE SANDCASTLE CONTEST!!!!!
