Without Steve Jobs, I would not have my current job.

I wouldn’t have started a blog; I wouldn’t be typing on this MacBook Pro. I wouldn’t have met my husband, who wouldn’t have been able to move here and work remotely.

I wouldn’t be able to work from home, spending part of my day being entertained by my son. I wouldn’t be able to use an iPad to Skype his Grammy whenever he wants or to watch Yo Gabba Gabba! in the car on long rides.

I am only one of many whose lives have been changed because of Steve Jobs.

The Jobs Effect. RIP.

My baby turned one yesterday. It’s hard to believe a year has already passed since we brought him home. It doesn’t seem like just yesterday, but maybe six months ago? Certainly not four seasons.

We had an awesome party, replete with an elephant cake, balloons, close friends and family and a very happy and exhausted birthday boy.

Sadly this morning he had to go in for his one year appointment – three vaccinations and a tiny vial of blood for tests was not well received. By baby or mommy.
