    How could we be mean? Because we love you so much, how could we not love Mom?

    I find I am waking up with eagerness to check the Photos Everyday section. Thanks for posting them. I am curious, so I wonder whether you will someday post about your family's willingness to appear on such a popular blog. I also wonder whether anyone in your family (you go, George) has actually been recognized in public by a blogger or a paparazzo.

    Even though they could be to blame for all our emotional insecurities and obsessive-compulsive behaviors, Moms are still the most fantabulously wonderful creatures in the world.

    Darn - I didn't type fast enough to be first. Maybe next time.
    I did forget to say (since I was typing so fast) that I loved the photo, and your grandma's silver hair.

    Oh, so we're welcome to rip on granny? Just kidding. They're cute. The kids in the front are cute, too.

    I don't think anyone would say anything mean about your mom. I mean, come on, she's mainly responsible for our favorite blogger, YOU! Yay mom and Yay Granny!

    Mom is a hottie and so sweet to take Leta for the weekend. Be careful...you might end up with a little Mormon on your hands. If she comes home wearing thong panties, be very afraid.

    it's priceless to see mom and grandma happy and healthy together at a family-party - i'm telling you - enjoy that!!

    does she sell to rural virginia? My wife uses the skin so soft(Tm) with vinegar as a fly repellent. avon makes the best all in one sun screen/fly repellent/skin care stuff in the world.

  • Tracy said:

    If I'm not mistaken, I think there's also a pic of the A.W.S.L. in the September 2 entry (the one where Leta's trying to rip her mom's lower lip off).

    Actually your mom seems like a pretty cool lady!

    I love the pictures you take every day. This is always my first check of the day, to see the photo of the day and hear about what's up with you all. Take care!

    How could anyone say anything mean about a woman who TAKES your child for extended periods of time?! The woman is a saint dammit..

    This is probably just the art professor in me, but -- wow, that is a beautifully composed image. It reminds me of something Edgar Degas would paint. Very nice.

    And DooceMom looks nice, too. :)

  • trudie said:

    oh, i love it! now that's the kind of hair my mom needs. poor woman has no hair--i'll be virtually bald when i'm 35. looks like dooce won't have that problem, though. does avon sell hair products? i'd better get started now.
    no more chi chi's? my husband's going to freak. anytime his parents ask us where we want to go, he always says chi-chis. and his parents always think he's being serious. what a terrible end to a great family joke...

    I swear to God Avon Skin-so-Soft is a cure all for EVERYTHING! They should use it on Cancer and AIDS patients.

    Every time you write about her, she seems more a model of efficiency and kindness. It's like what beachgal said. What's not to love?

    I love the composition of this photo. Oooh.

    Nice photo. Reminds me of Christmas.

  • eileen dover said:

    I second the Degas comparison - very astute. Dooce, your compositional skilz are the shiznit.

  • G~ said:

    LOL! Well, I can see why she's the World Sales Leader!! She looks every bit the part of a beauty products sales woman...all tailored and primped.
    A very nice looking woman, that Avon mom of yours, Heather. ;) Looks like Leta has nothing to worry about since her parents AND her Grammy are so cute, huh?
    *grin*
