Keyword Analysis

Can you believe that you can actually find my blog on google? And not just 1,000,000 pages in, I'm actually on the first page!!! I have recently learned that 17 complete strangers (I assume) have found my blog by googling the following words (without the quotation marks):

"largest corn maze in the world" - #8
"chicago marathon 2007 finish line pictures" - #6
"life is good corn maze" - #5
"goo goo dolls lifehouse" - #5
"god miracle explanations" - #2
"lifehouse and goo goo dolls tour" - #2
"runchi" - #1

I was particularly impressed with how high I placed for the Goo Goo Dolls ones. And really, "god miracle explanations" - who would have ever known that would lead someone to my blog?

If you don't have statcounter on your blog, you should probably get it immediately- who knows what info you're missing out on!

The first time Bryan has ever shown interest in a candle...

Over Christmas we inherited another wonderful computer from my dad (thanks dad!). This computer was put on disability and retired from regular service due to a serious problem it has with shutting down without warning whenever there is static electricity. However, since Bryan has implemented his new system (touching the metal candle base every time before using the computer) there have been no further shutting down incidents. I just had to laugh. Who knew candles were so multi-purpose!

Christmas

Well, I pretty much never remember to take out my camera at important family gatherings such as Christmas, but for complete coverage of the Barton side of Christmas you can visit my mother's blog or my sister's blog . Unfortunately, there are no other Scheffers blogs, so there won't be any pictures up of that Christmas, but a good time was had by all.

While in Troy we did have a chance for a quick visit with 2 of the 3 Sargents. Isn't Jeremiah precious!!!

Lights on State Street

Every year since we moved to Chicago we have accidentally ended up downtown on the night that they have the parade for the Lighting of State Street. This year we actually went on purpose with some friends from Hope. It was beyond freezing, but we had a great time- and a great dinner at Cheesecake Factory, of course. Good times with good friends!
