End of the Matneys visit :(

We were so sad to see the Matneys head back to Texas. It was such a great time to have them here with us. We laughed a lot, played a lot and ate a whole lot! Miss Matney certainly stole the hearts of her two Texas Aunts. I think I can say with certainty that they are IN LOVE with this little girl. After they left Jared and I bought tickets to fly to TX in Sept. so the countdown is on until we can see them again!
Thank you Sassy, Connie and Unk for all that you did for us while you were here. We love you guys and our doors are open to you anytime!! Just promise to stay longer next time! So sweet!
This is Matney's new toy to take the place of her caterpillar that you've seen her laying on in many pictures. The bar that held the toys on that bug was not secure and Matney had gotten strong enough to kick it off and send it flying...not too safe for her little head! Connie, Sassy and I headed to WalMart so that I could find her another one and this mack daddy mat is what we came home with. According to them it, with music and lights, was the only one good enough! Here are Jared and Connie putting it together.
The material is satin-like and about 2 minutes after we laid her on it the first time she figured out that she could scoot herself off. We'd move her back and she'd be off again in no time. She thought it was too funny!

See the lights? Connie and Matney hung out on the mat at night. Who would have ever thought a play mat and a baby girl would capture so much attention?!?!?!
