Graem was watching the new film “Animalia” by Graeme Base today. Emmy seemed pretty interested too so I put them together on the floor.



What’s funny is that they were equally interested in the movie!
One last photo of Emmy dressed for a brisk fall walk!

Every night after dinner we’ve been trying to take a family walk down the street. A few houses down on both sides of the roads we have horse stables.
Typically, we are able to walk along side the gates and the horses will walk with us. But tonight it looked like the owners were in the barns and the horses stayed close by.
We always bring carrots or apples to feed the horses but I need to ask the owners if it’s alright because they might be on a special diet or horse supplements and unable to take our goodies!

I’m talking about my acne of course!
After I had Emmy I had some of the worst acne that I’ve had since entering into high school! My mother gave me some ideas on acne treatments which included toothpaste and antiseptic.
However, I just let my body do it’s own thing and now I think I’m back to my baseline of my occasional zit.

So it’s almost four months later and I have yet to lose my “baby” fat! Today I went into the doctor because I think I might have broken my finger and I was scared to step on the scale. I was going to empty my pockets and take off my shoes but when you’re as big as me…what’s 10 pounds?!?!
Before I got pregnant I was on weight loss medication such as alli but this time I’m going to try and do it a little more natural and healthy.

We had a pretty good weekend … except it was too short!
Saturday morning I put the second coat of paint on in the living room. Margot watched the kids and Emmy cried the whole time!
Saturday afternoon we went to Apple Harvest Festival. It was so much fun and delicious too! We were able to eat yummy candy apples and ride the ferris wheel. The wait for the ferris wheel was about an hour long so by the time it was our turn Graem was tired and cranky! Of course when we were in the air she kept saying “I’m so glad we waited, Mama. This is so much fun!”
Here are some pictures from the weekend:







Now for some miscellaneous cuteness:
