Knock, knock... Who's there?

There is no special reason to do this again except for the fact that we did it a year ago. So I guess that would be one special reason. (We could make this National Blog Delurking Month.)

I am shy to do this though. The proof is in the fact that I've had this post in my drafts bin since last week. I hate pressuring people but here goes...

I am not a "comment on every post" kind of blog reader so I won't make you feel obligated to do that either. I understand your hesitency to even comment now incase you feel pressured to make a steady habit of doing so. I'm not asking for your allegiance. I'm not asking for money either. Or for a donation. Or for your commenting habit.

All I want is just a tinsy winsy tiny comment. That's all. Just one little comment on this post that you are reading now. Don't leave your bank number or your credit card number or even social security number. I don't need that (I can hardly keep track of my own the way it is.) Just a name and blog address (where applicable) would be nice.

And I promise, you won't have to do this again until the next time I ask. Seriously.

Hi there. Carla from PW here. Remember years ago when our kids were born?! I pop in and read your posts a few times a week. :)

I'm sorry that I don't comment more often. I understand. I love comments myself... :-D

I read every post you put up. I have you in my bloglines list. :-D

Don't feel guilty about asking for comments. It IS nice to know that someone is listening, every once in a while.

In Christ,

Ginny

Oh, Courtney! Perfect timing... I've been wanting to get on here and leave you a comment anyways! You have brightened our days this week with giggles and laughter as we girls crowd around the computer screen to read your latest posts! We sure miss your family!

Oh, and we continue to get skirt compliments! ;)

We're so lucky to be your friends!! :D

Hi!! Tania from Iowa. I started reading your blog about a year ago when we lived in Colorado. You were so nice to answer some of my blog questions the other day. (-: Thank you!!

I discovered your blog right around the time that you gave birth to your youngest child. I've enjoyed reading your anecdotes of life with 3 children and the various adventures and misadventures that you've experienced this year.

Brittney said...

and Brittney Delurks.....

I've been a faithful reader since before the beginning of time for this blog. (Remember, back in the days when we emailed.....)

Oh yeah, and my name is Britt. Remember me? That girl in Wisconsin you used to live with.

Well, it appears you will not be blogging to a blind audience anymore. I'm proud of you.

I found your blog when someone linked to this post http://coeurdcourt.blogspot.com/2007/12/blessings-and-burdens-of-motherhood.html
of yours. I felt an immediate kinship...I also have three children three and under. Now it's four and under, I guess. My oldest just turned four. I love reading the descriptions of your daily life with three kids. It makes me feel like my life must be most interesting! I just don't know as well how to write about it! :-) You can find out a little about me here. http://www.sethstoltzfus.com/ But only a little because we don't update very often! I haven't figured out the whole blog thing very well yet! Blessings!

Courtney, this is Pat VE. I do enjoy reading your blog. I don't have a blog myself. I like to read the clever way you describe ordinary things that go on in a young mother's life and in her home, and with little children. It often brings back memories, both good and bad. I am just wondering if you are praying each week for an unmarried friend? Have a great anniversary.

Just checking in to let you know that I love reading your posts. They show a mother's life so well! If you want to see what goes on in my life go to www.xanga.com/rufusannie

Didn't know if I was going to delurk or not, but then I saw one of my good friends delurked (rufusannie) so I decided I would too. You have a knack for writing ordinary events in an interesting way - something I don't have. Keep it up.
