Tonight's picture was taken in September of 2003. Mattie was about a year and a half old. Peter's parents gave Mattie this ride-on fire truck. Given that Mattie loved the color red and anything with wheels, he gravitated to this toy. That day, we took it outside for Mattie to try to ride it. He was a cautious fellow, so he wanted to touch it, walk with it, and push it first. He eventually tried riding on it. But for the most part, Mattie preferred playing with it, washing it, and pushing it.

My dad has two caregivers. Only one of the caregivers writes to me each time she visits. My dad's physical therapist also contacts me after each visit. I really appreciate this level of communication, because it helps stay informed. Which is so important since I am thousands of miles away.
The Eagle was a make of motor coach with a long and interesting history. During a period of over four decades, some 8,000 Eagle coaches were built in four countries on two continents. The coaches were a common sight on American highways and were strongly associated with Continental Trailways for over three decades.
When we first got Sunny, he would jump on our bed in the morning. Looking to be with his family, until we woke up. Now that Sunny is older, he has a harder time jumping up. So Peter is working on a step solution for Sunny. Peter bought wood and has his saw and drill out. This will be another Peter Brown original in our home, as Peter has built me many things from a step stool for Mattie, a kitchen cabinet, a tv stand, and the list goes on. He has great carpentry skills, which I believe he learned from his grandfather. I can't wait to see Sunny's reaction to his new stair case!
