Daisy and the Halloween Pumpkin

The first Halloween. According to my mom, I was just baby with pumpkins. I'm actually pretty thankful Daisy was born towards the end of the year, as a result, this holiday season is fun because she's mobile, alert, and smiley. It makes it so much easier to enjoy the holidays with her. She'll almost be a year old for Christmas and she'll get to rip open her present and play with the paper and ignore the gifts...gooooood times.

So here's my pumpkin girl, playing with her Puff friends and practicing for Halloween

Because the saddles and horses at home are just not good enough...

Again, the hat at home is just not good enough.

This...love that she's old enough to ride on our shoulders.

Small enough to sit on a pumpkin.

Big enough to stand at it.

She really wanted to eat the pumpkin plants.

Like a Lion...

Let me preface this with, I'm aware Daisy is just 9 1/2 months old. I'm also aware that she has no clue what she was doing. But I know that this was a God touch that was desperately needed.

On the way home from swim class, Daisy and I were listening to the radio and God's Not Dead (Like A Lion) came on. As soon as it finished, Daisy roared like a little lion cub. It was just something I needed to remind me that I'm a lioness and I can keep going and I will keep going. Overwhelmed, or not.
