I cannot even explain how much I love this dog, and how exciting it is to watch her become more & more comfortable in our home. I just get so overwhelmed watching her sometimes.
Joel has been the scariest of our household people to adjust to, bc he's loud & moves fast & moves a lot. For ages, Emma was wary of him getting up, moving around, or being loud. We had a bit of time where she would occasionally alarm or resource guard bark when he came into the house or room.
And.... look at these pictures. That's him giving her PETS in the first one!!! She's snuggled in my lap & was very relaxed, so she didn't flinch away at all, even leaned in just slightly.
Second picture, Joel is playing video games, shifting around suddenly, talking loudly, etc. Emma's still snuggled in my lap less than a foot away, sleepy eyed & totally unconcerned.
She has completely charmed the whole house with how sweet she is, how eager she is to be included & how her personality has just bloomed. Regardless of all other goals we have in mind, the first and most important one has always been her being comfortable & able to relax in our house. And we've come so very far with that goal. 💜

Love how when Myamya gets super excited, she goes on the wheel and becomes Mach 1
Except maybe this time, she was a little too excited 😅🤣

if you don't mind sharing, how are you feeling? how was your birth experience?
Im feeling good! Obviously in pain, but im getting painkillers so that helps😇 - well, they were worried about my bloodpressure at my local midwife tuesday noon so she sent me to the hospital, and they took blood tests - which showed pre-eclampsia and my liver numbers were a bit too low so it was necessary to get baby out so we would both be okay👍🏻 got started on the contraction inducing pills around dinner time tuesday, and took the last at 11pm.. the water broke at 1am and contractions started pretty quickly afterwards 😳 by 8.30am Wednesday he was out, finally hahah

Omg! It will be a full arc?! WAAAAAAHHHHH! I'm definitely looking forward to it! It's finally Hima's chance to shine! And I've always looked forward to seeing her develop more her abilities considering she has a lot of potential (as seen during her trial period in the academy in one of the past episodes).
I also like that new outfit of hers there in the key visual! Hopefully that would be the same outfit design for her in the anime 😁

🍋 🍍 🌽 🍷 for any OC you’d like!
I've been neglecting Eisza recently, let's go with her
🍋: What is your OC's most painful memory?
She actually doesn't have a lot. Given she was raised by an aunt and uncle* she knows something happened to her parents, but she was too young and doesn't remember them. She got along well with all her "cousins", left bc she wanted to see more of the galaxy than Tatooine, but they're all still around and she visits.
...I think the most painful thing for her is probably the Republic killing the other Hunt Champions at the end of Act 2? And not--she'll insist--bc of her one night stand with Bloodworthy (Mako doesn't 100% believe her)
🍍: Where does your OC feel most comfortable?
She's a sniper, and can't really turn off her hunter's instincts, so she's most comfortable when she can have a good vantage on a given room/situation. Whether that means being up high, or in a corner, or just somewhere she can see as much of the space as possible, that's when she's most relaxed. Even alone in her quarters, she's more comfortable sitting on the bed that's tucked against the wall than the couches in the middle of it.
🌽: How does this OC feel about acts of affection? What's their favourite act of affection, physical or emotional?
She comes from a big family, raised by an aunt and uncle who were both big huggers. She's ehhhh about physical affection until she's close to someone, so she'll sit in Theron's lap or hug Mako or let Koth slap her on the back, but more casual acquaintances she needs a personal bubble. Things like "I took care of X report" or "I handled Y for you bc I know you're busy" are always good though. Her favorite act of affection in the sense of showing she cares/trusts you is letting someone help with her face paint. Only Theron and Mako have ever gotten to that point.
HOWEVER, she's also very competitive, so another way is repeated challenges to some sort of contest. It means she sees you as a worthy opponent. Especially if you beat her and she challenges you again Jorgan .
🍷: What's one of your OC's pet peeves concerning food?
Almost nobody spices stuff enough. It needs a KICK, it needs to make her nose run a little and her eyes start to water or it's too mild. (She and Keme would get along like gangbusters)

(Lana's POV)
Harvestfest was such a wonderful time! Getting to be in Newcrest with all of Parker's family was such a blessed time, getting to spend a weekend fellowshipping with his immediate and extended family is something i'll cherish forever. Because the 'big house' cannot hold all 13 kids with their families, Adalynn gets to stay in the spare room since she's the out-of-town sibling that has the most children. The other kids that come in from out of town stay at different hotels or simbnb's in the area, this year there's been loads of the extended family coming into town so there's loads of relatives just milling around the town centre. At some point in the weekend Parker and I were able to take these cute pictures in his parents backyard, we've been talking a lot about the future and I'm prayerful that we can ring in the new year with new goals and hopes for the year ahead (AN: *AHEM* she means she wants to be engaged by the new year, but she obviously can't say that 😂) As for the structure of our relationship, I get girls asking me what rules Parker and I have for ourselves in terms of keeping our purity intact. We're determined to set our own standards as defined by our convictions, so right now we're saving our first kiss for marriage, and we've allowed hugs and brief handholding (like for pictures, prayers, and the like)
Every year there's a big family photo, and various other group shots - like this couples picture. Right now there's 9 marries couples, Parker and I, and 3 single siblings. It's so great that we got to be included in the couples pictures. Lorilee was telling me that at last years they'd just gotten engaged, and now here they are only a few months away from welcoming a blessing into the family! Getting to see the siblings with their spouses and hearing their individual testimonies and the different stories they've had from their courting days has been worth its weight in gold.
Amongst the group shots was one with all the girls, and I felt so much love being around all the women in the family. There was such an overwhelming sense of togetherness and family that can only can be found in the Lord's goodness. Lorilee and I say all the time that it's so great that we've found our way into the same family, Lord willing theres a more official family photo like this soon! (AN: *AHEM* Lana would've liked a ring by summer, but she'll settle for a christmas engagement // Also please excuse my editing skills, there's only so much I can do with this many sims to get them to pose nicely.😂)
It was especially nice to finally get to meet Beckett and his wife Mandy, Beckett is number 7 in the sibling line up and him and his wife live in Selvadorada where they serve as missionaries. Getting to sit and chat with them all weekend about their individual testimonies, how they were directed by the Lord to serve in Selvadorada, and about how life is there has been such a immense blessing to me that words can't even begin to describe. Being able to give themselves freely to move thousands and thousands of miles away to serve the Lord takes a lot of strength, and for them to dedicate their lives to such a great endeavour as such a young couple.

What if Pierre was dumped into the luau soup and drowned for being a dick
But... But... Pierre is the lowest of the "bad quality food" one could ever dump in the potluck. 🙁 He would completely ruin the soup everyone worked so hard to make tasty. 😔
On the other hand... 🤔
Sam!
Sam might be perfecty capable of dunking Pierre in the soup. They may have banned him forever from dumping anything ever again in the potluck after that anchovies disaster, but nobody couldn't stop him from doing so for Abby's sake, if he ever acted fast enough ('sides, he actually gives zero 💩 about "impressing some old man everyone calls Governor").

I'm so excited! Emma was wanting attention & it was 2 hours till dinner yet. So I snagged her harness for a quick training session. Best part? She saw it and was immediately excited & came forward on her own! 💙
She started following a finger cue for putting her head through the loop, and she has gotten as far as her neck through, which are both new progress! 😁🎉 She's getting much less bothered by the straps touching or catching on her ears too.
I swear, she's so much better at all of this than me. 😂 I feel like I barely do enough & yet she still makes such good progress. I love her.
