I like the feet on the left. Oh, wait a minute, I like the feet on the right too. It's all good.
Wonderful idea.
Love Dad

That is the cutest, cleverest tradition ever!! What a great memory and probably tons of fun to look for those named manhole covers!

Thanks for putting so many cute pictures and keeping everything updated! You are so great! I would have love to come, but maybe when we are older, we can take a trip to Europe! I love you! Have fun!
