Tonight's picture was taken on January 17, 2009. Mattie had just gotten back home after we took him on a trip to New York City to start his experimental immunotherapy. One of the items he brought home with him was an erector set of the Empire State Building. Peter and Mattie spent that day together assembling this structure. Which was no easy feat. However, this building still sits in Mattie's room on display.

It is almost midnight and I am just sitting down for today. Peter and I were on Capitol Hill most of the day attending all sorts of events. Literally we never stopped moving. We attended the 6th annual Childhood Cancer Caucus this morning, which was followed by a luncheon, then a White House briefing, and then finally a reception. We are both worn out tonight and the only problem is there are two more intense days ahead.
