Happy Easter! Happy Spring!
Aunt Jenny turned 30 this month so a special shout out to her. :) And she's going to be an aunt to a boy soon in May when her sister has her baby so yay for that too.
Easter was also Oma's birthday so we had a special birthday dinner for her at our house followed by swimming at her house. Matti was a little under the weather. I think she was just overtired from her very busy weekend. So Easter morning she woke up, ate breakfast, then went back to sleep for a nap. The Easter bunny had left some goodies so Matti checked those out. She even had her very first peep - chocolate covered and yummy.
PHOTOS TO BE ADDED SOON. CRYING BABY WON'T LET ME.
In other news, we're working on our house. The drainage is fixed a la french drain system so the patio should not flood the next time we get rain for more than an hour. I know, Arizona doesn't get a lot of rain. But it doesn't take much to flood. Khaleesi has a new kingdom which will soon have her very own magical entrance (automatic pet door). It comes complete with a javelina (wild boar) figurine on the gate used by humans. She reminds us of Pumba...and it's not the quick jokes... Opa built the new kingdom gates and completed the drainage system with me while Joe was at work. I'm working on sprucing up some yard decor and keeping my garden/plants alive thus far. I've got basil, mint, chives, parsley, strawberries and tomatoes along with cacti and aloe. Joe and I added a fire pit recently which looks pretty good if I do say so myself.
Matti has been not quite herself yesterday and today. Probably more teeth. Yippee. Freaking. Great. So I am updating this post while trying to not make eye contact with the Tiny Tyrant.

Halloween In Nebraska
So we hopped a train to Georgia. Er- I mean a plane to Nebraska. :)
Mattigan's first flight went pretty well. Security was really nice and helped us move our things along so we didn't hold up the line. Despite the very early morning, the airport, the strangeness, and the flight itself, Matti was pretty calm. She made lots of big eyes at our fellow travelers, drank her bottle, and napped during the flight.
Grandma Rosemary picked us up at the airport. It was her first time meeting Matti. A couple big smiles later and everyone was introduced.
Being Halloween, the weather was chilly. Lots of wind! But we had a couple of nice sunny days.
Mattigan didn't go trick or treating, but she was the cutest pumpkin on the block. Loving the outfit! We handed out candy with Grandma Rosemary to the early trick-or-treaters.
It was nice to enjoy a homecooked dinner courtesy of Stacia. Soup on a chilly Halloween night is just about perfect. Some friends even dropped in on us at Dad's while they were making the rounds with their two kids.
We made the rounds visiting everyone, took naps, and kicked back with the family at Uncle Terry's house. "Grunkle" Terry, Great Aunt Lois, Great Uncle Dave, cousin Tommy and his wife Sarah, cousin Teddy and his girlfriend Mary, and Great Grandma Elly got to meet Miss Matti for the first time too. Joe and I enjoyed a Huskers game with Sarah and Tom while Poppy and Grandma Stacia babysat. Yay! Check out Matti's 1st jersey!

We were up early every day (which is really early in AZ time) and on the go go go, but Matti did terrific. It was great to see everyone!
