Welcome to the Mac Shack!
This is our website designed to keep you abreast of all the latest news coming out of our household. Check back to see what’s new with the five of us and I’ll try my best to keep this thing updated regularly. I don’t always keep up as well as I would like.
The reason for sharing all of this is that my memory just isn’t what it used to be. If I write down what we do, I’m less apt to forget things. What better way to keep a record of our children’s childhood than with an online journal?
It’s hard to believe, but this blog started back in April of 2005. It started on the Blogger platform and has moved to various different web URL and hosting options before settling down here at WordPress. We’ve had some gaps of time where it’s been ignored but it gives a pretty good representation of where we’ve been as a family.
Feel free to check back regularly and feel free to leave a comment. We would love to hear what you’ve got to say.

Jim and Jean
Hey Jean and Jim,
So glad your blog is up and running. I really enjoy reading and viewing all the great pictures of your beautiful family. Everyone looks so happy and healthy.
I was just thinking about Jake this morning as I was pulling Ryan’s bike out of the garage so he could bike to school. It is really freaking me out that Ryan is in middle school this year. I then thought of Jake, rememebering that he is a big 7th grader this year. Where does the time go??
Hope your kids all have a great start to the new school year.
Miss you guys so much!
Kristin
