life is full of ups and downs and some days, a few twists are thrown in too. well, today was one of those days...a day with a few twists in it. in my previous post, i spoke about sky being sick. now, ryder is sick (expected, as that is what usually happens with toddler siblings). also it seems that ryder always gets it worse. so i thought that ryder just had the virus that sky had (she's better now) but no. ryder woke up in the middle of the night crying (something he never does) and then this morning, he cried for over an hour straight saying "my ears". i couldn't figure out which ear hurt but i knew with his accompanying 104 fever, i had to take him in. well, ryder ended up with a bilateral ear infection and the MD said that he wouldn't be surprised if the right ear "pops" because that ear is so bad. so i'm thinking...okay, we'll get ryder his antibiotics and everything will be fine. off we go to the pharmacy and by now it is 11 am and none of us (myself, sky and ryder) have eaten yet so while we're waiting for ryder's prescription, we go to the bagel shop to get some bagels to bring home and...ryder throws up in my hand. all i could do was clean everything up, giggle to myself a little (b/c i can't believe it), take our bagels, get ryder's medicine and head home. :-)

we're home now. still sick. but doing well. and hopefully all healthy again real soon.

life is either a great adventure or nothing.

i'm thankful for my adventures, the good...and the not so good.

this photo is from yesterday. i was shooting kiele in the white dress and came across these cool flowers...a whole bush of them. i don't know what they are but i loved shooting them.
