And now for something happier

Thanks again for all of your comments and e-mails regarding the hard time I'm having right now. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your support. I'm going to see how the next few days go, and if I'm not feeling differently I plan on calling my doctor.

In the meantime I'm going to remind myself of one reason why I should be so thankful.

My peanut.

Her {almost} never ceasing smile.  The brown eyes that Daddy gave her, so big and bright. Watching her explore, discover, grow. I am so fortunate. Blessed.

We tried on her Meerkat Halloween costume yesterday evening and let's just say it was interesting. As captioned by Carina...

What is this THING on my head?

GET IT OFF OF ME!

Seriously, Mom. I am NOT feeling this.

I tried again this morning, right before we left for the local Mom group's Halloween party. Fortunately, she did a bit better! Maybe the opportunity to gnaw on tasty goodness distracted her from her costume loathing?

I'm lovin on this carrot right now

Want to get in on this?

A number of the people there weren't sure what her costume was supposed to be. I forget that not everybody watches Meerkat Manor on Animal Planet and is well acquainted with the oh-so-tiny-cuteness. When I saw this costume on sale for $4.50, I just couldn't turn it down. I don't mind having to tell people she isn't a Monkey or funny looking Lion Cub. Oh well ;)

I'm coming to get you, Mommy!

I'm not getting into mischief...

Being a Meerkat is hard work...time to crash

She laughs, and I melt.

Instant happiness.

If only she could giggle all day and night, then maybe I would feel like myself again?

Linking up with Casey Wiegand's Fall Party!
