Where'd Everybody Go?

A few days ago I realized that my one-year blogoversary for this blog is coming up. (Its this Wednesday!) I decided to go back and start reading my blog from the start, marveling at how much had changed and how much the kids had grown in the course of a year.
But then I noticed something else! When I first started this blog, I got seven or eight comments a day... and just for regular posts, not blog carnivals or anything like that. But after a few months, the comments faded away Now I am lucky if I get one or two comments! Most people get more readers after a year of blogging, but I seem to have gotten less!
I mean, I mostly blog for my own peace of mind. Its occurred to me that when the kids are older I can print out all these entries and photos, or put them on a disk, for them to keep. It will be cool to be able to have these daily memories forever.
But should I be insulted? What has changed about my blog that makes people not want to come back? Has my writing gotten too newsy? Are there too many photos? Am I just boring? Is it because I'm not a real "mommy" blogger, I'm an auntie? Is it because the children are named after animals???
While you mull that over, here are a few pictures of Pufferfish for your viewing enjoyment.

As a new reader, I had to laugh about the "is it because the children are named after animals" part - too funny! And Happy Blogoversary! I look forward to reading more.

Hi there! I have found the same thing on my blog, actually, lately. I think there are just fewer people on the blognet at the moment, with it being spring, and people being busy with their own stuff. I don't think you're boring at all!!!

I'm still here reading! I've just found that I don't seem to have as much time to comment on blogs like I used to - Lucas gets in the way of that! LOL I am so far behind on commenting, but I try to keep with reading via bloglines! LOL
