Back to Blogging

I first took up blogging around 2005 when the takecrew family moved to Tokyo for a two-year stint. It was primarily a way to stay in touch with family back in the U.S., to let our families and friends see how our boys were growing up. It turned out to be a great way for us to keep notes on all kinds of things, especially about our boys.

I was using a pretty easy piece of software written by a Korean company and tightly bound up with my mac.com membership. But both have now expired (the company and my membership) and my comfort level with other platforms has increased (although I am not as digitally able as friends like goyaboy). I signed Noriko up for a blog on blogger for Christmas in 2006, but she let that lapse after a few months, so our on-line presence evaporated.

Lately, I've been feeling the urge to go back to some of the daily life note-taking we had back in Tokyo, so I've started up this blog to see if we can do it again. Hopefully this will turn out to be a good place for those who care about us to keep up with the shenanigans of our boys and our half-hearted attempts to live healthy and happy lives. At the very least, we can post some pictures with words.
