Ben with Rene & Becker from Hogs for the Cause!As many of you remember March 26th a fundraiser was held by two fellow Jesuit alum (Ben Sr's high school). Hogs for the Cause was a day long party celebrating PORK!! We were unfortunately unable to attend because we were on Ben's Make A Wish trip, but everyone we talked to said it was a GREAT time! Ben was this years beneficiary for Hogs for the Cause. Tonight we were able to meet up with Rene and Becker, they gave Ben the seven thousand dollars raised by the event, and Ben told jokes! We would like to thank Becker and Rene and EVERYONE who attended and donated to Hogs for the Cause - what an amazingly generous community we live in. I know you've heard me say it before but Thank You never seems to be a big enough word...we will never forget how generous and supportive you all have been and it will take us a life time but we WILL pay it forward. We are already looking forward to NEXT years Hogs for the Cause - we will definitely be attending!!
Today we had a very LONG clinic day. I not sure what happened but we were there for 4+ hours and only saw the doctor for 5 minutes - so needless to say mommy was a little frustrated. Ben was fine he never complains, but I was definitely having an ADD day and the sitting around waiting was unbearable! But it was good news Ben is doing great and gets a three week break from clinic. We start another round of chemo tonight, but Ben has been handling it well so we are not worried.
Now for the T-Ball news...
TOMORROW NIGHT... BELLE CHASSE ...6 PM Pirates vs Grey Socks - thats right the the battle of the Brighter Horizons T-ball teams is tomorrow!!! Be there and wear maroon! GO PIRATES (and grey socks)!!!
Check out the new joke...Ben was definitely on a roll today! And we will post after tomorrow game!!!

Good luck tonight Ben in your T-ball game! I'll be rooting for you to win, but mostly, just to have fun! Glad your clinic day was okay yesterday, although loooong day sitting in the waiting room! At least that leaves a lot of time to make up funny jokes! Love your joke for today - it made me laugh! love, Aunt Robyn
