Dear Blogger, and a couple extra things I have to say. ha ha ha

I am LOVING all the new features on Blogger. The spam filtering is my first favorite cause I have some crazy's that comment from china in script I obviously don't know but if you click their link to see who it is, it's sex solicitation or selling something dumb so I am soooo thankful they go right to spam now. Recently I went private for a day cause although I started to blog for myself as a journal and for my California family too see and hear how we are, I now feel I blog also for 'the public'. I feel like no one's out there though sometimes. I enjoy sharing our life with friends and even strangers (as it pertains to them understanding our adoption process and or understanding our Religion) which is why I keep it public for now. There are many misunderstandings about Adoption and I like people to see that in our family it is a word, not a separation that our children are different than us. If others didn't know we had adopted, no one would ever think to ask if our family was any different than your biological one (except I feel more free to brag about my kids cuteness otherwise I might be giving myself a compliment, ha ha ha). Also, Religion, being LDS is something I constantly talk about with others. I feel like this is a safe way, for others, to hear who we are and see our life to decide for themselves if they agree that we are indeed Christian. Unfortunately I will barely get feed back about any subject (frown face) that anyone's listening in on, in comments or in email (for those not blogger members). I really enjoy what you have to say, it's our highlight! Then... someone who I NEVER talk to and bump into tells me my whole life story and I'm confused how they know, only to learn they read the blog. ha ha ha. So, yes, I wish there were more comments or emails letting me know the rest of you are out there and are reading but NOW blogger has a sweet feature called "Stats" that will tell me I had 8 views today but 48 yesterday. Last week, over 1400! It even has a graph that shows the highest 'traffic' hours which is just plain interesting. Anyway, even if you are shy about leaving comments here or on email, I now feel a little more love that you're reading what I wrote about or photographed, cause really, I do it for you too. Those of you loyal commenters, you know who you are, thank you for your continued support and please disregard the rant above. he he he. I try to pay it forward on your blogs cause I know how hard it is to load these dang pictures! ;). Moral to the story, don't just stalk, consider leaving a comment. Some of you don't have blogs for me to stalk so thats not fair and I know some of you are family, so shame on you for sneaking a peek without returning the favor of letting us in your life too! ;) gotcha.
I'm looking forward to the possibility of even more new Blogger features and hopefully more sweet comments from all of you. Thanks for your time. :)
The End. Lila
