Tonight's picture was taken in March of 2003. Mattie was almost one year old. He wasn't walking yet but he was very on and fully engaged! This to me was a classic Mattie pose! His hands flared out like two radio antennae trying to pick up a signal. Mattie did this early on as a baby and this pattern somewhat stuck throughout his life. He absorbed the world around him and took everything in through observation and touch!

In the midst of cold and grey weather days in Washington, DC, I decided to make these three flower arrangements for Tuesday night's Foundation dinner that we held for our volunteers. We displayed them on the table last night and I think they really made a difference. One couldn't help but notice them especially since there is NOTHING green or colorful growing outside now. So I know they caught people's attention. I know I am enjoying these flowers now at home, with their orange theme.
Next week, Peter and I have two conferences on our plate. In the beginning of the week, one conference is in DC (Comprehensive Cancer Care for Children and their Families). Many of the psychosocial researchers who work closely with our Foundation are presenting at this conference and our lead researcher is staying in our home with us for two nights and we are attending the conference together. I have been asked to say a few words at this conference on March 9th at the 1pm time slot:

Then later in the week we are flying to Florida to present our research poster regarding our National psychosocial standards of care project at the National Comprehensive Cancer Network conference. Today I was running around finalizing our poster and I went to the printers to get this enormous thing printed out and laminated.

Peter and I have worked on revising the format and layout of the research poster. This is what the poster now looks like! Though you can't tell here it is 52" wide x 42" tall.
