"Every thorn has its rose??"

This past weekend was supposed to be my sister, Laura's, baby shower.
Let's just say, things didn't go exactly as planned...Laura came down with a severe case of the stomach flu the night before; therefore, we called off the two showers (one was to be held on Saturday with family and friends, the second on Sunday with her fitness clients and friends). Because most all the food had been prepared and the cakes had been purchased, we chose to split up everything and eat it instead of freezing it and hoping it would keep for the re-scheduled shower (which was not determined at the time). Not only did we end up coming home a day early, but we completely missed out on any quality visiting time. So, I guess you could say it was a total bust.
However...
"Every thorn has its rose" - (ok, yes, Brett Micheals' "every rose has its thorn" song was obviously my inspiration for the creation of this idiom). But nonetheless, it does hold true in this situation...despite things going wrong, there was also some positive outcomes. Such as:

Jackson had a blast riding around with Uncle Chris in his bobcat.




The kids also had a great time dancing and playing in Aunt Laura's fitness studio.






FYI - Both Laura and baby are doing just great now.
The shower has been re-scheduled for this coming Sunday.

Oh no--poor Laura!! I'm glad to hear she's doing well now, though. Hope you have a good turn-out this Sunday!
