plans undone...

If there's one thing that the Lord has been teaching me over the past six months or so, it's that I cannot, and should not try to plot and plan this life out - because it is not mine and in the end, His plans are perfect. 
This past weekend was another example of that happening...
I was SO excited to finish up work on Friday and spend the weekend relaxing, enjoying the sun and celebrating Mother's Day. 
Friday was great - Dan and I went down to Lake of the Isles with Adi & Cade and took a walk. We also got to have a little picnic down by the water - which was great - just how I had pictured it all day.

Saturday, we got a few things done around the house (inside and out) - which was also great.  We also had some friends over for dinner for the first time, which was an added bonus.  It's fun making plans and trying to ease back into our new social life.  Things are a little different - revolve around Adi needing to eat and sleep - but it's definitely fun getting to know people and sharing a good meal! 

Sunday was the day that didn't go quite as I had imagined.  Looking back, it's so insignificant and I am just thankful for the time we had as a family to relax, but it didn't sit well with me at the time.  My Mom ended up getting sick, so she stopped by quick, but had to leave right away.  We had planned on celebrating with my Mom since we didn't see her for Easter.  I was pretty disappointed that she wasn't able to stay and spend time with us.  We did get to share a meal with my Sister - which was nice.  Then the afternoon brought us a little more unplanned activity - Adi was sick.  Now for some, a baby crying is a pretty normal thing...but we've been SO fortunate and Adi rarely cries. 
Sunday afternoon/evening was the exception.  She has been struggling with a bit of a stuffy nose, but it hadn't been affecting her eating or brought her temp up at all.  Sunday evening she had a slight fever (99.6) - and was extremely fussy.  We felt so bad for the lil peanut, as she cried and coughed and sneezed.  She started having trouble eating too.  I was nervous about her coughing, so Dan set up the pack 'n play in our room and she slept in there for the second time in her life.  Unfortunately for all of us, she was up most of the night coughing and moving around.  We brought her in to the Dr. this morning - but her temp. was back to normal and the Dr. said she looked great (lungs clear, throat clear, ears clear).  So I reluctantly dropped her off at daycare and headed to work.
My assumption is that Adilyn was sad that I had to drop her off at daycare while she was sick. You know how your Mom seems to always make you feel better when you're sick? No matter how old you are? I figure she feels the same - even though I can't give her chicken noodle soup yet.  Either way, she was fine at daycare and I got through a busy day at work. 
We were even able to take advantage of the warmer weather again today with a walk after dinner.  Though I have to say Adi is definitelyl not quite her perky self - as you can see she's a little tuckered.
