About
Welcome to the Mac Shack! This is our website designed to keep you abreast of all the latest news coming out of our household. We took a bit of a break from our old site following some security issues, but we think we’ve overcome that by making this new site password protected.

The reason we’ve come back is two fold. First, with Erin and her family moving to Africa for the next two years, it just made sense to open up a form of communication to keep them in the loop of what’s going on back home. Second, 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 the children’s childhood than an online journal?
Luckily, we were able to import our old blog in its entirety from Blogger, so none of our old history is lost. Granted, there’s an 18 month hole in this history, but we’ll just need to make do. 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
