Tonight's picture was taken in April of 2004. Mattie was two years old and what I love about this photo was this was classic Mattie. It showed his eclectic side! It wasn't unusual for Mattie to walk around our home in pajamas. Mattie preferred them because they were comfortable and he liked their texture. However, to me the backwards hat was hysterical! Also seconds after this photo was taken Mattie had the American flag in one hand and his sippy cup of milk in the other hand. It was a true sight to see, coming from a little ball of energy.

We also visited the upper school campus of Mattie's school. This is where the Foundation's Walk is held every May. We went to this campus because we are trying to figure out some set up and logistical Walk concerns.
Then the remainder of the day was spent purchasing plants and cleaning up our deck space from a very harsh winter. We are saddened that the majority of our perennials have all died. All of Peter's wonderful knock out roses have died. We just can't get over it, because Peter's roses were beautiful and they have historically come back every spring. We got a good jump on planting today, but there is still a lot more to do, not to mention the fact that we have to paint our deck every Spring.
