Since this is my blog (ok, it really belongs to D and I, but he rarely posts)... anyway, since this is my blog I am going to do what I want to.
I will say that my regular readers have been very good at commenting. Thank you all. I appreciate you and will try my best to reciprocate as much as possible.
So I have what I call my "Secret Squirrel Stat Counter" hooked to all of my blogs and websites. You can't see it, you can't check it because only I have the power!! And I like it that way. Even D doesn't know the password. Of course that isn't because I don't want him to know, it is just because I have never gotten around to giving it to him. Although, he is pretty bright so I am sure with a little deductive reasoning and time he could figure it out.
Where was I? Oh yes. Today my stat counter told me that I had a visitor from Barbados. Hello, whoever you are. Probably someone who happened upon us by accident, but Hi anyway. This got me thinking. One of the cool things my stat counter shows me is what countries people have visited from. Yeah sure, the map does too, but that means I need to know my world geography and as illustrated by my last 2 posts on
Life of
Elle, I am dumb.
When we started Unexpected Miracles I started writing down all of the countries that people have visited from. Wanna see the list. Too bad! I am going to show it to you anyway.
United States, Germany, United Kingdom, Canada, Russia, Australia, Scotland, Hong Kong, Philippines, Finland, Netherlands, India, Kazakhstan, Puerto Rico, Ireland, Italy, Denmark, Barbados, South Korea, Spain, Portugal, New Zealand, Sweden, Israel, Mexico.
There are few others, but I didn't get them written down. I have regular readers in Australia and Germany, but I don't know who they are... hint, hint.
So now, since this is
my blog and I can do what
I want to, I am going to start pointing out those locations that are regular visitors, but not regular commenters. HA! I'll make you de-lurk. So do it now before I make a spectacle out of you.
My nifty neato country stats also work for cities. I can tell you stuff like Californians read my blog more than Washingtonians. And that some of you need more to do with your days.
I enjoy reading your blog since I am currently in the paperchase for a baby boy from Russia.

OK I am delurking. I am not sure if I have posted before or not.
I am Lori from Spokane WA.
I built my family throgh the miracle of adoption. My son came to us as a newborn (he is now almost 8) my DD came to us when she was 17 months old (she will be 7 soon... yikes they grow way too fast)
We also had a failed adoption during our journey.
We adopted our son from Moscow last year in March at 13 mo and I wish I had started a blog to have a record of everything. I did it the old fasioned way and just journaled.
Anyway, I was a 4th grade teacher and now a SAHM who gets bored during naptime so that's when I lurk on blogs :) I'm enjoying your journey and hopefully if we do this again, I can become a blogger.
We have been so excited for you as you were meeting your precious Pickle, and we pray that time speeds by til you bring him home.
