Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2002. Mattie was a month old and had that dreamy look on his face because he just finished a bottle. Feeding time was about the only time Mattie was truly calm! Notice who was in the background..... Patches, our wonderful calico cat.

While going through things that we packed, which we kept outside in our shed, I came across Mattie's sit-upons. They were used in preschool. Each child had his or her own. During Mattie's second year of preschool, his symbol was a Magnet.
During Mattie's first year of preschool, he was Mattie Moon! A name that stuck with him even after that year. Even now, many people associate Mattie with the moon. When they look up at the sky at night and see a big moon, we think of him.
Peter and I spent hours outside cleaning and organizing. As we brought all our plants from DC to Oakton, along with all my garden decorations. We had them stacked all over the place, and today we did something about it.

Can you see the big SUN we hung up today? We got that sun on a trip to Bethany Beach, DE, it is something we have had for years since Mattie died.
This may not look like much, but we had all our flower pots stacked on that ledge. It looked awful. Today we arranged them around the property and cleaned up leaves and some weeds.
