happy blogday to us

it was a year ago today that livin' la vida jack came into being ... live on the internet!

a year ago, we were unsure where this crazy blog idea would take us ...

I'm a lot of things, no doubt. Consistent is not one of them. So, right now I'm inspired to create this blog about Jack -- to share with friends and family not just the bimonthly transformations we see, but the incremental, the ephemeral, the stuff that really makes Jack Jack (or John or whatever). But will inspiration last? Will it get overrun by insidious perfectionism and an overcommitted schedule? I am optimistic, and I hope it will last. So keep checking back....
well, the optimism was well-placed (if we do say so ourselves!). we have pretty consistently kept up with posts so that the incremental ephemera, for the most part, has been captured.

a great glimpse for our readers into jack's world ... and, more importantly, a great keepsake for our family.

it's been an amazing journey.

so happy blogday to us. and cheers to the year ahead!

  2. Kudos to the prime blogger.
    What a difference a year makes!! He looks like he's matured 2 or 3 years. What a treasure for him--not like a half-hearted baby book. Keep up the good work...before long Jack will be routinely entering his own stuff.

  3. Thanks for the great blog, Lici! As you know, we love reading about Jack even though we haven't met him. We will definitely have to get together sometime!

  4. You are indeed one of my most devoted proteges. :-) When Blogspot goes belly up, what's your plan to preserve these digital memories? I was looking into www.blurb.com, but it's a LOT of work!

  6. I wish I could see my adorable nephew more often, but this has been the next best thing. What a grown up little boy he's becoming!

    Yeah, I've thought about a Blurb book too, but as you say it's a lot of work ... and it's all I can do to maintain this blog five days a week!

    I've also been interested in some suggestions on Blogger for Dummies, especially BlogCollector.

    I guess the first step would be to get my own domain for blogging ... and not relying on the blogspot address.

    Maybe it will by my blogday present to myself! ;-)
