7th Blogoversary.

It was 7 years ago today that mum helped me and Eric start our own blog. You can see our first ever post here,  and here are the first photos we posted the next day. We never for one minute imagined the blog would still be going 7 years later. I am sitting here thinking of all our happy and exciting adventures we have had together and all the wonderful friends we have made. We all miss Eric terribly and wish he were here to enjoy our Blogoversary, but we have to look to the future, and now I share my adventures with my mum and dad.
On a lighter note, some trivia.
We have published 1,903 posts.
Had 58,814 comments.

We love the photos and the first post, and we hope you are blogging for many more years to come. Of course, we miss Eric big time, and we love the way you have a regular tribute to him.

    HAPPY BLOGOVERSARY, Flynn. It was such fun reading all about how you started the blog with sweet Eric in 2006. The human says that 2006 was the last time we had a heatwave! Of course I don't remember that being a young whippersnapper! Keep cool, buddy xx

    Happy SEVENTH Blogaversary! Wow, that's really something. Mommy remembers finding your blog WAY back when she was working grave shift and cruising the innernets; you two provided a lot of laughs in the middle of the night.
    It was so nice to see the photos of the two of you together, we miss Eric something fierce and are so happy you have a flashback Friday just for him.

    That photo from the back is so, so precious and adorable. Mommy and we have to say a GIANT "We'e sorry" for missing your blogoversary. Our 1st was on the 21st, and we got so wrapped up in that we missed yours. We are really embarrassed 'cause we love Flynn, loved Eric and love your blog. So, with no more blathering, HAPPY BELATED SEVENTH BLOGOVERSARY!
