I have decided to create an All About Andy Album for my Yesterday & Today class (blogged about some details here). Last night, I sat Andy down with a few boxes of his childhood photos and asked him to pick some out that were special or just made him happy. I scanned in about 3 dozen photos and with his help choosing photos, created this intro page for his album.
When some of Andy's Sami/Norweigan relatives came to visit this summer they looked through some of my scrapbooks. Helga wanted to know where were the boys? Andy and his family and his friends?

I didn't think my albums were all about me, but turns out they are because it's my family and friends - those were the stories I was telling. I'm embarassed to admit, I wasn't really telling his story. That is no longer the case!

Now, I am creating a special album that will be All About Andy: his family, friends and his story. I hope it will be a treasured keepsake for my husband. I also hope it will teach me to intergrate his story and my story in our eveyday life albums.
