Annoying Cold & Perspective

Mama had a girls day yesterday so that meant Ryder Jeremiah spent a day with daddy (his favorite thing to do!). Unfortunately, Ryder is battling a fever, congestion and some sort of cold but considering what we've been through, a cold isn't anything we really fret over. I love how most parents freak out when their baby is sick - like its the worst thing they've ever experienced and they hate seeing their baby "suffer"....if they only knew. Like my mama always said "The things you take for granted, someone else is praying for!" Oh how I prayed we were just dealing with a fever or cold when Ryder had to undergo 4 different surgeries by the time he was 14 months old.  It's all a matter of perspective really....something I have to continually remind myself as walk this cleft journey. 

Anywho, a fever didn't stop Ryder Jeremiah from enjoying the playground....not something I would have done but daddy likes the break the "sick rules" and sometimes a little playtime is the best medicine. 

Some pictures daddy sent me while I was with the girls. 

Meanwhile, mama was enjoying some wedding dress shopping, for a good friend, in LA. 

Thankfully, it was back to bed snuggles this morning. How I missed these two yesterday.
