When I came to Xanga 2+ years ago I was the 4th of 4 friends who were all at one church (we were in a small group study at the time) and had all come onto on Xanga. (I'd been thinking of blogging for a while before that time, but they pushed me over the edge, so to speak.) Due to various life circumstances, I'm now the one who blogs most. We once we all at one church, now we're at 3 different ones. So that's a little sad. Though we all live in the same town we don't all get together very often at all.

Like you, I am thankful for new friends like YOU whom I've met on Xanga. 

I have a facebook but have never really done anything with it.

I've looked back through some of my archives and that's a mixed bag since there have been a lot of joys but also a lot of sorrows...But through it all God is the same yesterday, today and forever!

I'm commenting!!! tee hee! :)  I always enjoy reading your blogs... I still want to keep up mine, just need to fing the time more! you've encouraged me....check in for an update soon :)

I love reading your blogs .... but will admit to not always commenting because I don't have much to say - I will try to remember to say something next time - I'm with you on writing and then not hearing from others, it kind of is deflating. I don't always know what to write in mine - not much exciting happens with me. I will try to think of something! Take care, and keep writing!

You always have these interesting posts about babies, breastfeeding etc., and your family! I sometimes comment though not always b/c I feel like I'm always putting my 2 cents in and I feel I shouldn't always be doing that! hehe. Do you get my blog? Last month I pretty much decided to quit writing...even thoughsometimes I feel like writing something, I also feel like it wouln't be 'interesting' to anyone else, so I think 'whats the point?' lol. You always have interesting topics to write about but I don't always (besides my kids -- but again, maybe no one cares that my kid is potty training??) Know what I mean? Another thing is time...spend time on FB, Craigslist, online banking, hotmail...and by that time I'm done for the day! 

@rrlasmom - hee hee - yup, it's called "footprints" - which I find useful, because I can block certain xanga users if I have to, which I have done in the past.

@Momofived - @naphtali_deer - @Tupperwaregal - @LeonaHuttema - @rrlasmom - @AudreyUnaL - @EmilyandMindert - @stoepc -  THANK YOU for stopping by and reading my blogs - it gives me encouragement to keep going. (did you see my latest?)        Please don't feel like you HAVE to commment when you come by --- but I'll admit to liking it!    It's always nice to hear of others opinions and thoughts on whatever I'm writing about .......

and I encourage you all to keep blogging!  Your stuff isn't boring, or useless ....and stuff about kids is always fun!   Try branching out a bit and blogging about theological stuff,   or  other things that matter to you (like education,  health care,  church issues whatever) .....it keeps it interesting! 

Look for another birth blog soon .........

I never comment cuz I don't have anything interesting to add, but I faithfully check out your blog at least once a week.  I find it very interesting.  I don't have a blog myself for you to check out, since I'm too busy reading everyone else's and at the moment we're waaaay too busy to keep anyone updated on what's happening here.  We lifted our house in April and put a full basement underneath.  Currently, I have no running water or sewer, so it's like camping in our own house, but it sure makes everything twice as much work!  Keep up the blogging and don't get discouraged!
