the baby piggie

Alyssa has a little stuffed guinea pig key chain that she has become quite attached to. Too attached if you ask me. Last night she began to cry when we put her to bed because she didn't have her "baby piggie" and I had to go hunt it up. Fortunately I found it without too much problem. Then four times during the night she awoke and came to our room distressed because her baby piggie was gone. I found it thrice, Alan got up and found it once. These four times were during the same 15 minutes from 3:15-3:30 am. Tonight I am going to duct-tape it to her hand.

Yesterday evening my sister-in-law Ami watched the girls for us (because she is a saint) so we could go to the temple. It had been way way too long, 8 months :(, since we'd been and it was wonderful to feel the Spirit and enjoy some time with Alan in such a beautiful setting. I don't think I'll be able to wait another 8 months to go back. Thanks Ami!
