Tonight's picture was taken in April of 2007. Mattie was five years old and what I love about this photo was the fact that I caught Mattie doing what he loved to do best.... create with packing boxes. Notice the plate on the floor. Mattie did not like to take the time to eat, but would eat if you left snacks by his projects. He ate on his own time frame! Our home at one time was filled with Legos, just about in every room. Mattie gravitated to building and designing. Which was why I called him my little engineer.

I love flowers, so I made these flowers to decorate our dinner table.
So when I decided to pull out of the previous restaurant we used for our volunteer dinner, I gave it great thought as to who to work with and develop a relationship. I felt it was important to select a restaurant whose owners were behind our mission. This Barn Room, which was a private room, was the perfect setting for our dinner.
The group truly enjoyed hearing an update about the Foundation and our accomplishments to date. We even brought "props" with us, so our volunteers could see the many publications we have contributed to and our desire to expand the message that.... psychosocial care must be a part of comprehensive cancer care.
