Wow, great story!
The problem with using a blogging platform is the likelihood (or rather the unlikelihood) that it will exist in 25 years. There's a huge hassle factor in porting data from a proprietary system like Tumblr. At least with email, the format is likely to be supported in 25 years and exporting is easy.
That said, email doesn't really cut it in terms of viewing. I imagine my son would want to share the data with his family and friends long after I'm gone.
