Lil Pig Gets Some Mail!!!

One day, after a long day at work, I came home and my husband said to me, "You aren't going to believe what came in the mail today."

"Not another bill!" I exclaimed.

"No, not that." He said, with a twinkle in his eye.

"What is it? What came?" I asked.

He then reached over and handed me a letter that was addressed to none other than Lil Pig! A huge smile came across my face and I ran to tell Lil Pig that she had received mail. She opened the letter and was so happy she could barely contain herself. The letter was from Madison, our niece, who had come to visit not too long ago. Here are some pictures of Lil Pig with the letter.

Here she is with the contents of her letter spread out all over the chair. She was so excited!

She wanted me to take pictures of all the details of the letter. Madison did such a great job of coloring and drawing. We were all blown away with how good she is!

Here is the actual envelope that was sent in the mail. The front and back had all sorts of pictures on it.

This was Lil Pig's favorite part of the whole letter. It was a picture of her that Madison drew! How completely awesome! Lil Pig asked me if I could frame it for her so she could put it up on her desk. I told her I would, so now we get to go look for a really nice frame to put this in.

Lil Pig was so happy to get mail. She said it was one of the best days of her life! Thanks, Madison for sending such a beautiful letter to make Lil Pig so happy!!

New Neighbors for Lil Pig

Lil Pig has had many adventures, and I have been so busy that I have not had any time to post them up here. She has not been happy about that because she wants people to read and see her adventures. I apologize that I have not been able to post, and I will try to do better.

Lil Pig has found some new neighbors that she hopes will one day be her friends. Apparently we have had some pigeons find a nice place to build a nest on our balcony. We have mostly been leaving them alone, since by the time we get home it is dark and the birds fly away. However, Lil Pig is here during the day and she likes to watch them build their nest on the balcony. When she told us the pigeons were building a nest under the grill, we had to move the grill to the other side of the deck. We left for the day and left the nest exposed to the elements in the hopes the birds would take a hint and take their nest somewhere else. The next morning we found that not only was the nest gone, but the birds had moved every last stick and branch underneath the grill on the other side of the deck! So we then decided to move the grill back to the original location, throw all the sticks and branches off the side of the balcony into the trees and put pieces of wood underneath so the birds wouldn't build another nest there. Well, the next day Lil Pig ran out onto the balcony and found an egg and another day later there was another one!!! Imagine our surprise! I felt really bad that we had ruined their nest the day before they laid the egg. Lil Pig was so curious she wanted to get as close as possible to the eggs, but I wouldn't let her.

Here's Lil Pig trying to check out the eggs. One is up front and the other is way in the back.

Here's a picture of the momma bird nesting with her two eggs. Sometimes she sits on them and sometimes she just sits next to them.

Here is a close up. Lil Pig was so excited to see the momma bird had come back after we went back inside from the balcony.

It was pretty fun to explain to Lil Pig about how the baby birds will eventually hatch from the eggs and then one day they will fly away. She was so excited that she decided she wanted to fly like the birds too. I walked in on her just as she was about to jump...

See that little peach colored blur? That's Lil Pig jumping off the couch and trying to fly like the baby birds! She tied herself to a string on the ceiling fan and jumped. She was laughing so hard and had a great time, but once she realized that I wasn't laughing she knew she was in big trouble!

She is a curious little thing, but in all honesty that's what makes her so much fun to be around. Stay tuned for more of her adventures, and we'll be sure to post pictures of the baby birds when they hatch.

Lil Pig Has New Friends!

There has been quite a bit of adventure for Lil Pig recently, as she has had lots of visitors. Not only does she keep me company, but as it turns out she has quite the loyal following! Here are some of her recent visitors that dropped in to say hello within the last few weeks.

Here is my dad with Lil Pig. She is sitting in her cute pink basket that my mom got us. She loves to snuggle in the basket with a big smile on her face. She really loves my dad.

Our nieces came for a visit to Colorado and just LOVED Lil Pig! This is a picture of Brooklyne and Madison with Lil Pig and her friend Lil Puppy. Madison played with Lil Pig the whole time she was at our place, and she took such great care of her. Lil Pig loved all the attention she was getting and was extremely happy to make new friends!

Here is another picture of Brooklyne (with Lil Puppy) and Madison (with Lil Pig). They played dress up, and even played with tea sets. I don't know if you can tell from this picture, but on top of Lil Puppy's head is a small frog that is actually part of a minature tea set. Madison and Lil Pig were playing with her favorite pig tea set, so we got Brooklyne and Lil Puppy one with frogs. They loved them!

Isn't this the most adorable picture you have ever seen? This is Madison and Lil Pig playing dress up with some big red flowers. They both look so darn cute!

Lil Pig had such a great time with all her friends and wanted to say thank you to everyone for all the visits, and the requests for more pictures of her adventures! Stay tuned for more adventures coming your way!
