I have really enjoyed writing this blog.  It dawned on me that I am starting into my fourth year now of blogging five times per week.  A little less than a year ago, I put a hit counter on the site to see if anyone was actually reading the thing.  I cannot believe that we are getting over 2000 hits per month.  The got to thinking about this when we saw that the hit counter had hit exactly 24000 hits.

I realize that most of those are probably just Lorena, the kids, and I visiting the site and writing to each other.  There is another big chunk due to webcrawlers and spammer.  Nevertheless Bryan, Trisha, JoAnn, Hunter, and some others have been pretty faithful at reading the thing.  Whenever I put up a post that I want family and friends to see along with an email blast to let them know there is something interesting, we have a flurry of activity for a few days.  Still, we are getting over 100 hits per day now and have averaged over 75 hits per day since I started keeping track.  We are getting over ten unique visitors per day, so all in all, for a blog that I would write even if no one read it, we are not doing too bad.

Thanks a lot for reading.  It is fun to try to make the thing more interesting.  If you have any comments on what you might like to see that is more interesting, that would be great.
