Thanks, everyone, for your input! I think we're just going to keep her name spelled Matea, and I suppose if she wants to change the spelling when she grows up she can. :)

Our court date is tomorrow. We should find out if her case made it through on Tuesday or Wednesday. As soon as we make it through court we can post her beautiful picture on the blog!

Exciting weekend here at the Petersons - we had a massively huge storm on Thursday night and we got a bunch of water in our basement. ANNOYING - seeing as our basement is finished and all the water just gets sucked up into the carpet instead of running to the drain. Things are still drying out. I think we've got a plan to try to get some things fixed with that, seeing as this isn't the first time this has happened. Here's hoping for no massive storms before that happens!
