Before heading to Indiana, Matty and I stopped off in Paris, IL to visit Jonathan's parents for a few days. It was Matty's first real taste of the midwest . . . and he loved every minute of it.
Grandpa's motorcycle was COOL. But don't worry, Dad, we didn't take any rides . . . yet.
Playing with Daddy's old toys (Grandma and OKB helped).
But the best thing about Grandma and Grandpa's house? Golf balls. Choking hazard, shmoking hazard. ;)
We all went out to the farm to visit our future home. Matty was so excited (and a bit confused) to be able to sit and play in the grass. We spend half the time back in Vegas trying to keep him OUT of our heavily fertilized yard; I think he was just waiting to get in trouble for being in it.
First ride on the four-wheeler, getting ready to head back to the pond.
Future home site, albeit with dead grass. Please Lord, send some rain!
"This four-wheeler thing is AWESOME!" (And no, I didn't let him ride in the back!)
Matty and Oskar imagining life on the farm.
Playing in the grass under the apple tree.
"Grandpa! I'll help you water the garden!"
"Here, Grandpa, let me help you with these water jugs."
Jonathan's custom-made bar did not make it into our house in Vegas (it was either a bar room or a nursery), so we sent it home with his parents. They set it up inside the new garage/game room at the farm. Matty played bartender, offering out sippy cups of water.
He also got to meet another set of cousins, when two of Betsy's children came over for a visit. They were so excited to meet "Baby Matty" and were quick to show him all the toys in the basement.
And now, off to Indiana to see Mamaw and Papaw! We'll see you again soon, Illinois!
