Tonight's picture was taken in July of 2003. Mattie was one year old and this was his first trip to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. Mattie was not in love with the whole notion of the sand and surf. He did not like the feeling of the sand in his toes or the crashing waves on the shore. After the first day exploring the beach, we never were able to go back during trip because Mattie was that intimidated. However, we did not give up. We did return subsequent summers and with each visit Mattie got a little more comfortable. So much so, that in the end Mattie could spend hours building and creating in the sand!

Peter and I spent another day working on our Foundation's webpage. It is a very hard task redesigning the page from scratch and I can see this will take quite some time to do this project correctly. But I am happy we are making progress and it is moving in the right direction, I just did not realize this was the task that would be absorbing our weekend. With the Foundation, there is never a down moment or lack of work. Which is what it is like to run your own company. If you are not working, neither is it!
