Harrison's Birthday Party

Here are some pictures of Heather's creative genius put to work for Harrison's recent birthday party...

The party had a 'Diego - the Jungle Animal Rescuer' theme.

The foods all were 'jungle-themed' - can you figure out what the 'live worms' were?

Isn't he looking older?

It was great to celebrate with lots of old friends and new as well as family - first time ever for Heather's folks to be at ANY of our kids' birthday parties!

The story goes like this:

There once was a church down by the port in Ancona, Italy. With the passing of time, shaken by earthquakes and beaten by the winds, the foundations of the church crumbled and the church toppled into the sea. A friend of ours shared with us that she remembers, as a little girl, playing along the pier and seeing the remains of the church under the water. She remembers seeing the cross from the top of the church under the surface. She told us that some say that if the wind was strong enough and the waves choppy enough, you could even hear the bells...

The story leads to this question:

If we were to raise her out of the water, if we were to restore her completely to what she was originally intended to be...what would she look like? If we were to remove her from all the traditions that humankind has surrounded her with and drowned her in...who would she be?
