If you visit the blog...

Could you let me know you were here? I spend a lot of time on here posting pictures, video, information, and updates and with a few exceptions I hear NOTHING from anyone. I can't imagine family or friends having a blog and frequenting it without so much as a note saying I appreciate the post, like the picture, miss kids (not you Joe, I love my phone calls...hope your trip is going well), nothing. I have been keeping up with this blog because of the distance between us and the rest of the family. It amazes me that people will lurk and read posts and never say a word. If you call, write on FB, e-mail etc. this message is not for you. This message is for the 1000 visits my blog has gotten and the majority of my posts with out a hello from anyone. I've never seen a blog so up to date with so few comments. This blog is here not so you can lurk and study my family from a distance. It is here so that we can keep in touch with people. So please, match the effort with a hello.

I hope I'M not in trouble. I think I have left a couple of comments here and there....
Anyhow, I too, feel your frustration. I have many "visitors" with not as many comments. You wonder why.
See you soon...

I've been caught! I recently discovered your blog (about a week ago) and have been lurking. :) I have been really enjoying the pictures and videos you post of the kids. I say "Keep 'em comin'!"

Hi Kelly. It is Kim (Mommie600802) from BZ. I guess I am a lurker, but this is my first time since I flagged your blog in my favorites. You must have given me this site and I saved. I was happy to find it today while cleaning my favorites and find you all doing well. Funny and adorable as always. I promise to keep in touch as I visit. I LOVE the pictures and video. Great!! :)

Hey hun - I haven't been to my google reader in ages. Just wanted to say this is the first time I've checked in awhile. I won't always leave comments because Reader doesn't allow you to just make a comment - I hvae to open the whole blog in a different tab and it's really annoying. Off to read all your posts now :)

Don't take away my blog!!!

Thanks guys! It's nice to know that people are reading and enjoying it. Charrissa, you are my number one commenter. Melissa, I meant to tell you about our blog so I'm glad you found it and came out of lurkdome! Haha! Hey Kim! I'm glad you kept the link. Definitely do keep in touch. I'm so out of touch with BZ these days. Hey Nat! Thanks for the comment. I have no idea how to use google reader, never tried but I totally understand. And Kristi...you are my blog stalker...I should post a screen shot of your visits. Glad that the comment thing finally worked for you. The blog's not going anywhere.

Hi Kelly!
I've tried to post several things on your blog but not having a blog of my own or some domain name it never would let me. Looks like now there is an option for just a name! So, now you're in SUPER trouble b/c now I can comment DIRECTLY here instead of FB! LOL!

Hey Kir! Yes, you totally can now. Kristi (my sister) had complained about the same thing you did so I changed the settings on here to make commenting easier.
