Greetings -
Nothing in particular happening this fine, fall day. The boys didn't have school, so Elle is home with them (which is kind of frightening). Ken had an in-service though and I have to work today. Bryant has a football game tonight, so we'll be doing that later on.
When we first started this blog, I set up a counter on it. I also did a world map to show where people are when they look at our blog. After twelve months passed, that map re-set and all our dots were erased. We used to have hits from Alaska, Hawaii, Japan, Africa, Europe, and all over the globe. I often wondered who in the world all these people could be.
Another fellow adoptive family/blogger decided to ask people to post comments to see who some of their readers were and I thought that was a great idea, so here we go. I know that I have our blog set so that you have to "log in" in order to post and I have to "approve"your post before it goes online. I will temporarily drop my caution and let it be more open, just to make it easier. The reason I had it locked was because when you open it, you tend to get Viagra ads and all kinds of spam that just becomes a problem. So please, go ahead and post a comment to this "ROLL CALL" and let us know who you are, where you are, and whatever else you feel comfortable sharing.
I am well aware of the fact that when I set this blog up, our family had some specific "readers" targeted, but I have quickly learned that those are not the people who regularly frequent this site... Fortunately or unfortunately, I am not sure. So please, feel free to let us know who you are!
Thanks for making this fun and more interesting as we draw near to our one year anniversary with ElleAnna!

Well, I guess I am the first one to check in. You know who I am, so I won't go into detail. My husband grew up in the Valley. We now live in Arkansas.
Guess I will keep it in the family. We are in Almena, Ks. Enjoy keeping up with your family.
Jen Hauser from Norton, KS. We have enjoyed reading about your journey and how Elle has blended so perfectly into your family. We don't live that far apart, but our paths don't seem to cross very often, so this blog has been a great way to learn about your incredible addition to your family.
I enjoy reading your blog and every so often wonder whether or not we should adopt a little girl as well. It is so awesome to see how adoption can be such a blessing through your site. Thanks for doing this! Ann Cox from Long Island.
This is Lizanne Franklin in Pittsburg, KS. Our daughter is also from Liaoning Province. We love to watch the videos together and check out the pictures.
Best wishes,
Lizanne
You know I follow you all a little too close, you should be worried.... Maybe it's just because I love you though. Yep, that's it. :)

You know me too. We are from the Valley but are now living in Pella. It is great to read your blog, learning to know your family and finding out about what is going on there in out old hometown. It is a way to keep in touch with our past. I thoroughly enjoy reading your blog and seeing your pictures, recognizing little bits from our past. Thanks for your time & effort. Norma M
