Blogiversary One!

October 18, 2010 by Aliesha

Today we officially celebrate one year of blogging at Feathers in Our Nest!  
We love looking back at all of the posts over the last year and are thankful that we’ve been able to chronicle so many family memories and milestones.  
We now have 93 followers on Google Friend Connect, which is awesome since when we started we think it was just our parents reading our blog.  (Though we are super-happy that they did and still do read it!)
In the last 365 days, we have posted 340 times (counting this post).  We started tracking visitors in the middle of January, and since that time we have had over 42,600 visitors and over 80,000 page views.  We’ve been excited to see visitors from all over the world!

    I love reading your blog, and look forward to reading more about Vera, as she grows, and makes you laugh with silly little baby antics! Congrats on making it through the first year! You are so good about posting often. I need to get my behind in gear, lol.

    Don’t know HOW I would make it without your blog! I feel as though I can keep up with what’s going on with you 3! Love this family picture . . .and all the pics granddanny brought back from NC. You now have 94 followers – finally figured out how to do it! HA!

    I think I started reading your blog somewhere in its beginning stages. I came over from Andrea’s blog. I guess I’m probably one of your first international readers too.

    Happy anniversary!
