Tonight's picture was taken in October of 2007. Mattie just got back from his school's Fall Festival. As you can see, he was all in school colors, and got his face painted to match. He had a great time and I distinctly remember the fun he had with his kindergarten buddies on that day. I selected this picture tonight, because where the Foundation Walk will be held this Sunday, is the same place the Fall Festival was held. Walking the school's field and the track, seems to just remind me of Mattie.

Peter and I did a walk through today with our logistics team for the Walk. It is a very powerful feeling to be surrounded by this team of energetic and 'can do' attitude people. I am blessed to have them all in my life. It was another non-stop kind of planning day. Toward the end of the day, Peter and I headed to the airport to pick up my parents. My parents come into town for each Walk!
Tonight's posting is brief because I have to be at Georgetown University Hospital at 7:15am! For those of you who know me, you know I HATE the morning! So this is a special kind of torture to get up extra early when I am already quite tired. I will fill you in tomorrow about the experience of participating in a medical grand round. I shared my speech today with my lifetime friend, Karen's mom. She asked for a copy of it. So I sent it. I sent her the first version and then the condensed version. What I did not expect was she wrote back and told me that the first version should be published! It made me feel good, because it was a labor of love to write! Wish me luck.
