Congrats Dan – I’m one of those lurkers! Just like to catch up on the latest Hughes family happenings – such a fantastic way to record it all.

200? That was fast.

Your blog quickly became a part of each of my days. When you do not post, I suffer from minor withdrawal symptoms. Nothing catastrophic; but the girls know that when Daddy starts kicking the cat around the house Dan probably didn’t post that day.

No pressure. The cat seems to have a very strong back.

I love reading your stuff. There’s no denying your talent. What’s more I feel fortunate that you consider us as friends. The feeling is mutual, to say the least.

Now please, get busy on #201 and save our cat.

We so enjoy your blog, it has really brought us nearer to the family, made us laugh and cry.

Now all we want to know is when are you going to start on the book, we’re sure you can do it.

My goodness, Dan, I’m so touched. Thank you very much.

Now that you’ve said that about being encouraged by our comments early on, I’ll admit that the first time I told Greg I’d commented on a post of yours, he told me to cut it out or that you’d think we were stalkers.

It’s true. He really said that. But you know now that we’re friendly stalkers!

And dang, this post sets the bar so high for reaching future post number anniversaries, I’m depressed.

Congratulations, Dan (and Kerry too)!

And you thought having another child was your biggest accomplishment this year.

In all seriousness, it was. But this is a damn fine 2nd place.
