The Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site

Here is the page I made about our trip to Martin Luther King Jr.’s childhood home.  I was more impressed by this place than I expected to be and I’m glad we made the trip.

The kids were impressed by the stories of what it was like growing up in the segregated south, the tiny houses that many of the poor people in the area lived in and the fact that Coretta Scott King lived for 38 years after her husband died, but they are still buried together.

Mr. Bubbles

We noticed the other night that we had never taken a picture of Mr. Bubbles, our guinea pig. So Dad and I took him outside this morning and we made this page with the pictures we took.

Dad and I made the cover page for my scrapbook. This is NOT my first page, but it will go in the front of my book. I bought a kit with my allowance that has the pieces I used for this page. My scrapbook is going to be all about me!

Carissa at 9

Posted by Ken Atherton under birthday, Scrapbook

Sandi took a nice picture of Carissa for her 9th birthday.  It’s hard to believe that one of our children could be that old already!

Carissa’s birthday celebration is being kind of spread out this year.  Sandi, Sadie and Sandi’s mom Shirley were in North Dakota on Carissa’s birthday (May 16th) preparing for Sandi’s Grandma Gumke’s 80th birthday party.  So Carissa, CeCeand I went out to dinner with Carissa’s other three grandparents to celebrate, eat cake and watch a movie (the fifth Harry Potter movie — Carissa finally finished the book!)

Carissa will be having a sleep-over party with her friends this coming weekend now that Mommy is home and school’s out.  We are going to have a “Science Party”, which means we are going to do all kinds of messy experiments with Carissa and 7 of her closest friends (and her little sisters).  It should be loads of fun.

I feel like I cheated a little on the scrapbooking, though — I used a quick page that I found through Digifree at a site called Pam Lefors Designs.  It’s a sample from a kit called “Priceless Treasures”.  All I added was the picture of Carissa and the text.
