My Piglets

This little piglet was right beside our house build site in Santa Ana

These are my little piglets!  This is Christian and Emma - Steph and Dave's kids, and Janet's grandchildren.  Christian is 9 and will be 10 in August, and Emma is 8.  They are quite the pair, and when they first arrived I tried out different nicknames on them.  Pickle, tid bit, shrimpie, etc., and eventually piglet stuck, and that was my nickname for the both of them for the rest of their trip.  It was pretty neat too - they both answered to piglet!  At one point, Steph called Emma piglet, and she responded, "Mom!  Only Quinn can call me piglet!"  My nickname was Quinnzo or Quizno...I answered to both.

When we went to the fresh food market last Saturday, all Christian could do was talk about how he wanted to buy a coconut.  They were sold at the back of the market, so we all trekked back there so he could get one.  Oh the piglet, so excited to try this coconut!  I'm so proud of myself - I captured him just as he tried his first sip...

Check out that face!!  Oh man, I was cracking up!  He was so excited for this coconut too!  I asked him what was wrong with it, and he said it tasted like water...like coconut water.  Not quite sure what he was expecting from a coconut, but I guess it didn't live up to his standards.  Oh wow...such a character!

When Janet was talking to Steph the day after they got back to Louisiana, I asked how my piglets were.  Steph said they told her that they "were gonna miss us some Quinn!"  Oh the piglets...crack me up!
