I find the Sitemeter link on our blog fascinating. Not that many people read our blog, so most of the locations I have a pretty good guess who is checking. Lots of people around Phoenix/Gilbert/Tempe/Tucson/Grand Rapids, obviously. Salt Lake City (Utah), Red Deer (Alberta), Hull (Iowa), Flagstaff (Arizona) are all friends. And then there is the occasional person who stumbles across the blog searching for some unknown image in Google image searches. There seem to be semi-regular hits by Europeans looking for pictures of scorpions, for whatever reason. But some continue to baffle me. The Sitemeter link gives me all kinds of info... location, internet service, browser software, even monitor resolution... but it doesn't actually tell me who the monkey running the mouse is.
- Eden Prairie, Minnesota: Visits pretty regularly, every couple of days. No referring URL, so I am assuming they have the blog bookmarked. But I have no idea who this is.
- Lexington, Kentucky: They have visited twice I believe, several weeks apart, both times searching in Google for "Gina Addink." Apparently my sister has an e-stalker!
- Minneapolis, Minnesota: Again they visit probably once a week or so. And they always get here from the Anderson's blog. I'm guessing I somehow know them from high school, but who is it?
- Unknown location: Someone from AOL visits every so often as well, but no location shows up. I suppose this could be multiple people from AOL.
There are others as well. So who are you people? I know it's not like millions of people hit this blog every day... but I would at least like to know who the five people who do read it are.
So leave a comment on this post. If you stop by every day, once a week, or wandered by looking for a picture of a scorpion, drop us a note!

Hi Jan.
Thanks for the comment! I actually just got some software to build a family tree and research it. I will keep a lookout for any Addink branches leading to a Jan, Jo, or Jessy. It is very cool to hear from an Addink back in the Netherlands!
It looks like I can email you through your website, so I will send you whatever information I can find.
Hi Paige and Jason,
I took my laptop and air card to see Grandma last week. We loved seeing all the new pictures and the MI road trip pictures set to the Cake song. You both do an awesome job at entertaining us both. I managed to keep Grandma awake and engaged in conversation for almost two hours with your website and three other of her Grand-children's websites until she finally looked at me and said 'okay I think I'm done now, I can't keep my eyes open any longer'. That was a successful day though!
By the way, I never saw your map locater thing on the website until today but I checked your website from Brisbane Australia back in May -one mystery solved for ya! :-)
Thanks for posting all the great blogs!

Jason & Paige,
I went to high school with Paige, and found your site through the Meengs blog.

Hi Jason,
I went to PCGS in Gina's class. I found your link off of Sara Botma's blog and was curious. My husband loved how you seeded your lawn. I wonder what your neighbors were thinking. LOL. Tell Gina I said hi.

Jason I have been reading your posts they are great Paige's also are the best. Dat is what da yooper says. Say ya to da UP. Eric
My camera just gave me the E18 error and I found your comment on some webpage and found my way to your blog. I just printed out your instructions and pictures and am giving it all over to my husband. He LOVES taking things apart and usually doesn't get permission to do so. It's going to blow his mind when I actually ask him to take apart the camera. I should take a picture of his face when I ask him! Oh, wait...camera's broken. Well, if he's successful the test photo will be of his proud face!
Thanks!

I LOVE your blog! I read it after our adoption class, and then I just got on it to see if you had heard anything from immigration yet. Your blog has me laughing out loud!
By the way, congrats on your golden ticket!! That came fast!

You probably don't remember me but I was really good friends with Jodi in grade school and even had been to your Ahwatukee home when she was house sitting lol--I just found your blog from Jason Voss' blog and loved hearing about your family and Gina! Hope your mom is doing well!
Found your blog through Bakker...went to college with him and Katie. And I was in Paige's class in high school. I love that you are adopting! I have a friend who is in the process of adopting a second child from Ethiopia. Blessings to you all!
Congratulations!!!!!!! Our prayers were answered and we will keep praying for Embassy to come soon. Take lots of pictures to show her when she is older and see you soon! Blessing! Pam and Randy
