Some random photos from birthdays gone by. This would be Harry's 4th birthday in Centerville, Utah. Good times in the Harris' house. (Remember Elizabeth and Baby Kitty??)
The same birthday - he got a U.S. Mailbox lunch box and a Fuller Brush hair brush - and I think he still has it!! (He wanted a cardigan like the one Mr. Rogers wore!! And whenever he walked by his imaginary fish tank, he'd toss some imaginary fish food into it! Just like Mr. Rogers!)
8th birthday - in Monrovia, California - That's Krissie in the background and Damond next to him - ah, the days on Lime Avenue!! More good times!!
3rd birthday - in the Rock House!! Good times in the Rock House - Sesame Street, racing up the stairs to beat the cold, Electric Company, the basement sump pump, Mr. Rogers, chickens in the pigeon coop, swing set in the corner, sand box, overflowing garden, '52 Plymouth with the pristine interior, dancing after bath time, Fifields next door - who could ask for anything more?? (Maybe only Dad and I have these memories - you and Bonny were pretty young after all!)
4th birthday - in the yard at the Rock House - the 4 got composed with a 3 and one candle!! That's David in the photo with him. Remember Easter in the snow? (Do you notice the bibs??) (I was a little OCD about them!!)
Harry today - well, last year actually. In honor of his 40 year celebration, Dad and I have come up with 40 things we know and love about Harry - and two to grow on!! (Not listed in order of importance!!) (Can you tell which ones were mine and which came from Dad??)
