Back before Dan locked out The Learning Channel, I saw an episode of A Baby Story where the expecting parents invited all the family over for a big pre-baby dinner and had everyone bring something to put into a time capsule for the baby. I totally love this idea, but I wasn't crazy about some of the things people brought. For example, someone brought a Miles Davis CD, which would have been totally awesome if they were putting together a music collection for the baby, but didn't exactly express the current times. I'd really love to do something like this, but I can't think of very many things to put in it that would reflect 2005. So far I have:
> Front section of the newspaper from the day the baby is born
> Letters from Dan and me to the baby
> Issue of Rolling Stone Magazine
> A list of the price of various things (a house, a car, gas--who knows what it'll be at by December!--milk, bread, eggs, etc.)
> Photo of our house and family
That's it. I would love to hear any ideas y'all have, including any twists on the time capsule concept. Thanks!

Hey I like this idea! I hope you have changed the front page section to reflect the current goings on... this Katrina stuff is historical.
I like the ideas you have so far. I can't come up with any more at present though. Sorry.
you could leave a biography about yourself... maybe things that were important to you as a child: baby blanket, stuffed animal, ect... things like crazy pics of you and your friends would also be a good idea!
