Technology is amazing!  Growing up I remember constantly playing an old 8 track of me singing “fee fye foe fum” and then, realizing my parents were recording me, asked “what’s that record?”  It’s hard to know for sure but I think that was the beginning of my love affair with anything that turns on.  Years later, my parents saved up enough money to buy Casey the Talking Robot, a pretty amazing toy (for its time) that would sing songs and carry a conversation with you, albeit very one-sided.  I took it apart within weeks of receiving the little robot and was able to put it mostly back together.  This was the first time I had taken something apart but wouldn’t be the last.  30 years later, I’ve taken many things apart and put them mostly back together (though I’m not sure I’ve ever not had “extra parts.”)

So why all the back story about me?  Because this morning, thanks to the blessings of technology, we can share with the world Ryan’s first steps!  Pretty cool that my cousins in California, my Aunt in Arizona and family and friends all around the country can share in the occasion.  It also makes me think toward the future and what Ryan’s blog will look like.  I can see it now as he proudly shares with his friends a link where you can be teleported back in time to view the event.  It’ll be amazing! I can’t wait 🙂
