Dianthus Digs

At his grandparents' house over Labor Day weekend, Dianthus learned how to dig potatoes.

Is there a way to save this blog for him so in 50 years he can show his kids? I wonder if all our blogs and facebook posts will still be available 50 yrs from now. How do they hold all those photos? The facebook faze has worn off for me.

Salsis- I can (and should more regularly) back up the whole blog. I don't know if that preserves images, but in that way I at least have the text should blogger crash (assuming that I either print the text or save it in a form that I can easily access in the future).
The good photos I'm putting in the scrapbook that I'm (very very slowly) assembling for him. I may print the texts there as well.

Is he using rebar to dig? Like the wandering prairie turnip harvester?

Annika is equally enamored of robots, planets (she likes combining these interests by watching videos about the Mars Rover), pretty dresses, motorcycles, sparkly shoes, Transformers, ballerinas, swordfighting, and playing outside.

I know in the next year or two, she'll inevitably become more aware of which interests are considered masculine and which ones feminine. Hopefully, though, with a dad who likes to teach her about swordplay and a mom who's much more willing to buy her robots than dolls, she'll be at least a little resistant to gender stereotyping.
