Yous Kids Blog Turns 4 Years Old!

Hard to believe, but the Yous Kids blog has just turned 4 years old. Way back on December 5, 2007, Jason opened up this digital gathering with the following post:

Merry Christmas from Rudi and Jason. As typical first-born male children who are constantly looking for the next achievement, we've created the VanDrunen Family Blog. A place to share what's going on in your life and the life of your family. Feel free to begin, we will probably have tutorial during the Christmas Party for those who'd like one. Also send ideas of things you'd like to see included.
So much has happened with our family since that first post four years ago, it's actually hard to think about sharing family news WITHOUT this forum. Thanks to everyone in the family for meeting and exceeding our initial vision for this blog. Maybe a new years resolution could be to maintain or increase your number of contributions to this blog. It's always better when everyone chips in!

Gotta go- I think that I just heard Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet knock on my door.

Thank you Jason and Rudi for your part in producing our blog. It has inspired Dyke's family to start one with his side. Many people are curious when I mention that our family has a blog. It has been a great way to keep in touch with everyone and find out what's going on in everybody's life. Especially since I am limited in my computer knowledge, it's great to have people in the family who know how to keep this going and updated. Thanks!!!

I can't believe it's been that long already! CRAZY. I tell a lot of my friends about stuff we post on the blog...recently the wedding dance has been quite the hit :) All my friends want to see it. I love keeping up with the fam this way while I'm at school!

I do have one question, Rudi. Everytime I go to the blog, Anna's Spain Trip is always showing. (not that it's a bad thing). I have to click on home to show the new ones. Any way to make the newest story show up when I go to our blog?

Hmm... did you "bookmark" just one post's link rather than the blog's link in your "favorites"?

The link that you WANT is this:
http://vandrunenfam.blogspot.com/

It sounds like you accidentally dragged the one post of Anna's trip to spain into your favorites. Is that a possibility?

At any rate, you can always click the big orange couch to be brought to the most recent post.
