A couple of years ago, Sophie, Eli, and I were laughing about this strange small stuffed doll we found in our apartment.  It was Humpty Dumpty, but he is a bit creepy and weird.  As you can see, even our cat Luke is wary of Humpty.

Luke and HumptyAnd then we realized that we had no idea where he came from.  We wracked our brains but couldn’t remember how we got him.  It was at that point that we noticed [perhaps] a more sinister look in Humpty’s eyes, and quite frankly we all became a little scared of him.

So I did what every normal self-respecting father would do – I started to put Humpty in places where he would surprise the kids.  At first, it was simply underneath their pillow before bed, or I would have Humpty snuggle up next to them when they were asleep,  Eventually, I even put him in their lunch boxes for school..  So in a creepy way, Humpty has now become a part of our family, and we decided to take him to Italy with us.

Who knows what adventures may await Humpty Dumpty exploring Europe, but we will keep you updated!

PS – We leave for the airport in a couple of hours!
