Once upon a time, there were two young kids, and their parents used this blog to post updates on their lives.

Then Facebook came along and it didn’t get updated near as often any more. Also, the kids got older and their lives, while still awesome and interesting, just weren’t as share-able any more. Especially in public.

Then, the daughter, now a teenager, was googling her name and stumbled across the blog. To her credit she was not mortified or embarrassed — indeed, she even appreciated her father’s prose! But still, it seemed like an important moment. She can tell her own story now. Time to take the blog down.

If you know these kids, rest assured that all those old posts have been downloaded and preserved. I’m happy to share them with friends and family.
