This week, our focus for our My World, Your World was Obsession.  I toyed around with what to photograph this week.  Would I photograph the nightly piece of chocolate I crave, or the sweet tea I will have panic attacks without, or the countless other things I obsess about?  Instead, I decided this week wouldn’t be about ME, but about my girls.

Anyone that knows my girls knows that we don’t travel (or sleep, or walk, or play for that matter) without our beloved Piggies.  Piggy was given to Mia before her birth by Hubby’s aunt.  It was a beautiful pink color and was so incredibly plush.  Now, by nature, we are not stuffed animal people but I was immediately drawn to the sweetness of this particular one.  When Mia was a few months old, she was upset one day and I remember giving her Piggy to hold on to.  She couldn’t have been more than 4 months old at the time.  From that moment on, Piggy has been in her arms.  I have a picture of her sleeping with Piggy in choke hold at 9 months and we even lost a piggy at Concord Mills one time.  (We did go back and rescue him out of “lost prison” for the record).

When Elaina was born, naturally, she was drawn to Piggy as well.  We now own about 6 different Piggies.  Luckily, neither girl cares much which Piggy they have, although some of the more ratty ones are now tossed to the side.  I’ve sewn heads back into place, replaced stuffing, and stitched holes.  I’m sure those aren’t the last holes I’ll repair.  So here you go, an obsession in our household:  Piggy

I should mention that while trying my best to snap this picture last night, Elaina kept running over and snatching a Piggy.  She would run off laughing and it was a miracle I was able to grab these three at one time!
