Welcome!
We are on year two of our website and everything seems to be growing, including our family! What you will find here is some information about the goings-on in the Elfering household and our daily lives as well as some other things we find interesting and worthy of sharing. And you can be sure with so many out-of-town friends and family, there will be lots of updates here once Baby makes his or her appearance... and such is the case!
As suspected, our new little bundle has prompted us to add much more media to our site. We still have a Flickr photostream that we try to keep updated. I'm getting better about taking my camera with me just about everywhere, especially now that Mac has arrived. We try to make sure the camera is in the diaper bag so it travels with him! In addition to that, we now have videos that we post using Blip.tv (thanks to Jeremy and Ben for your tips on this handy dandy tool), and we occasionally use uStream.tv to stream live video broadcasts for our family and friends out of town.
To keep things ultimately confusing for you, we have 3 blogs. Blogs are a popular online format (web log) that allows for posts, comments and conversation about current events and such where we can share what's happening in the family, comment on other websites, share interesting tidbets, etc. Our Blog is for both of us to use for family stuff, like events we attend or general goings-on in the family and more stuff we can post out in public. We also each have a personal blog where we can get into things that interest us separately. Jill's blog, In My Own Little Corner, has more of a journaling feel for family and friends and contains stuff that's a little more private - for example, my students don't need to be reading about my pregnancy and breastfeeding details... For access to that blog, just email Jill and she'll set you up. And Jeremy wanted a blog of his own so he can target a more specific audience and have "design control" of his own space.
You can also see what Jill's up to by viewing her Google calendar. If Jeremy ever decides to make his public, you can follow him too.
