Tonight's picture was taken in October of 2002. This was Mattie's first Halloween. He was six months old. I frankly think the pumpkin was bigger than he was. Of course Mattie did not go trick or treating that year, but I did want to acknowledge his first Halloween with us, so I put both him and the pumpkin together for this photo.

Peter and I created 8 collage type placards before I left for New York. We wanted to have photos that capture Mattie Miracle's activities on display at our upcoming event on November 8th. I am so glad we tackled this early and it was a nice surprise to see them this morning. We have a placard that highlights:
We closed out the big storage unit we were renting for our candy drive today. We are grateful that our friend, Ali, has offered the use of her garage. So we relocated all the bins from the storage unit to Ali's garage and by the end of the week, tables, chairs, bowls, bags, and bins will be all set up to begin our first sorting event next Saturday.
After moving bins, we took Sunny for a walk at Episcopal High School. It is my favorite place to walk with Sunny, because there is no traffic or congestion. It is a beautiful campus, with its own pond. A pond that as you can see attracts wild life.... this wonderful Great Blue Heron was just sitting there watching us walking by.
