As someone who was once so reluctant to embrace new technology, I'm still amazed that I keep finding new ways to use more technology instead of less.
It's not because I feel like I have to start using Pinterest or upload the kids' videos to YouTube, it's because I want to.
Technology makes it easier to share photos, stories, words of encouragement and creativity with people not matter where (or when) they are.
I sound like a futurist, but part of this acceptance of technology is trusting that in 10, 20 or 50 years, the content that I create online will still exist somewhere in then digital sphere. Blogging and Facebook might literally be comprised of 1s and 0s, but I have hope that no matter how technology evolves, those 1s and 0s will still matter and that this blog will be around as a digital scrapbook for Avery and Julian and maybe even their kids and families.
This is one long introduction to the newest creative outlet for our family, Transforming Julian.
Yes, it's a blog. For a 5-year-old.
It's a place for me to put things like his Transformer videos and stories that I want him to have when he's older, and I'm hoping that one day soon, he'll learn to post on it himself. (He's pretty savvy when it comes to navigating the web, but typing, uploading and publishing on his own are still a few months/years away.)

Sharing Julian's life with us through this blog is exciting! Thanks for starting this for him. I look forward to keeping up with J as he grows up. This will help improve my technology skills, too!
