Much like those before me can recall where they were when Pearl Harbor was bombed, or JFK was shot, most of us vividly recall exactly what we were doing on the morning of September 11, 2001. I was just waking up to feed my one month old baby boy, and wondered what the future held as I watched the second plane strike. As peculiar as it may seem, I wanted to address this historic (albeit horrible) event in my son's "first year" scrapbook. I decided to make 2 digital pages of various photos that were widely circulated at the time, and adhere those to the scrapbook pages. I want my son to know that even when terrible things happen, you can pick yourself up and move on. As hard as it may be, the "American Spirit" prevails. What lessons or values do you hope to pass along to your children through your photo albums?
