what a wonderful honour for Jack and Thomas! Dan strikes again and do not forget Annalise both their DNA in the sculpture of St Francis of Assisi. Not to mention the little boy who drowned at the age of 5 and now two little boys having their fingers sculptured. The restorers had the children so calm and told them both what they were going to do and they were very happy with that. Can not wait to see the end result and that they both have been included in the build of the chapel. When they grow up they will come and tell their children (if they marry and have some) the story of St Francis of Assisi finger. Jack and Thomas well done.

I was going to suggest that inside the doors of the Chapel is a photo montage of your amazing restorers and photos of the restoration from begining to end. Those men are great artists in their own right and should be honored by a display of their work. Unless you are going to have a room dedicated to the restoration of the entire property with photo displays of historical documents and architectural plans, etc. Then one display could be dedicated to the men who restored the chapel and the process.

So very special to think how now we will have Jack and Thomas rememered forever in the Chapel by having their fingers used for the frame for fingers of the statues. They were so good about it, They were nervous, but was working so hard to be brave. Such great children. . The cake looked out of this world and you did it so easily Stephanie. Your mom was so cute when she thought it was an insect and pulled off her hand from the Date. Percy enjoyed the cake so much as well. The yellow looked good on Natti too, that was lovely on her. Stephanie that dress was georgeous and loved it for the evening . Perfect match with the table cloth, and Philip looked so very special as well. Maries dinner was a delight to see ! I must say I love those lamps! What a fantastic idea! The ambience one could have in evening ,depending on what mood you are in, and the colors are lovely.
