April showers were more than rain this past month. The blog had a shower of visitors, smashing record visits, post ‘likes’ and followers. Our home was showered with new dining decor and $$$ for a future project. And our home was filled with giggles, smiles, and amazement as we watched Avery learn to sit by himself!

Thanks!
Wow, impressive stats!
Thanks. It’s fun to see so many people interested in our blog. Sharing stories, tips, motivation, etc. is a great perk to blogging – so we’re happy to expand our ‘readership’ so to speak…
Hooray on the stats!!!! Here’s to May showering you with more and more followers, comments, etc. Oh, and perhaps Avery will be crawling 1,000,000 times. That’s a lot of exercise for you. ;o)
Haha. Yeah and once he starts crawling I’ll have to make a ‘jail cell’ like Lili’s!
very cool! I like your re-cap! Congrats!
Thanks for stopping by, Lindsey!
Congrats on the stats, you guys truly deserve it!
Thanks, Mars. We’re not looking to break any records here. It’s just so much fun meeting other bloggers out there and sharing stuff with them
