Time Capsule

We are doing a big "rearranging" in the house - and as part of that we got the idea (thanks to Mary P!) to leave a little time capsule in one of the walls. And we finally did it this morning! (phew! It was our last chance, since the last section of wall rearranging gets closed up today!). 

I won't reveal everything that's in it, but to give a sense there was:

• two photographs of our family in front of the house - one showing the whole front and one zoomed in a bit more on us
• a letter from me to the future reader of the letter, whoever that might be, describing the pictures, telling a little bit about each of us, and asking questions about the future
  
• a note from Zach, with hopes, concerns, and questions about the future
• a picture from Clara - a tracing of her hands, colored in, and her name
• a paper doll from Clara
• a drawing of Molly's name from Molly
• a catalog (Lands End kids)
• the front page of last Sunday's New York Times

It's fun to imagine someone finding that in the future - and guessing whether it will be 5, 10, or 100 years!
