I finally created a picture icon for my mom to use when leaving comments. She's had a high speed internet hook-up for a while now and surfs the blogs on my sidebar. I think it's really cool how "into it" she is. Most of our phone conversations include at least one reference to someone in Blogville. Sometimes I think she's more up to date on things than I am. She'll always let me know when it's time to move someone down on my sidebar to the "Waiting to Travel" or "In China" sections.
Before my mom had access to the web she was excited about the adoption, but I don't think she truly got the "why China" part of it until she was able to follow along and watch other families travel and come back home with their children. Now she is VERY excited and right on top of what's going on with referrals and what's new on Rumor Queen.
My brother also follows along and checks in on my blog daily. It really is nice to have my immediate family so into it and excited.
If you see a comment on one of your posts with this little ladybug icon, you'll know it's my mom checking in on you. By the way, her name is Linda.

I LOVE the icon...how thoughtful of you! You are so blessed to have a mom like that. We only have one family member (my sister) who is happy about our adoption. Lauren will be so lucky to have such a wonderful grandmother.
Hi Linda :) Hope to see that lovely icon in the comments on my blogs :)
By the way, Linda, Can I look forward to YOUR blog?

That is SO cool that you have such a "hip" mom! I don't even know how to make my OWN icon for the comments! LOL!

I love it! That is great :)
My mom reads all the blogs, too, - it helps them to keep involved as our wait continues and continues.
Good for you!
Donna, your mom is the bomb! I think it's awesome that she's into your blog and your blogger friends. I know she's stopped by my blog and said hi. I thought that was so cool. I wish my mom check out my blogs and others... She's excited, just not into the blog thing. :(
Tell your mom I said "HI"!!!!
The ICON is AWESOME!
Hi Linda... welcome to the land of blogging... hehehe... after a while it gets addictive... having a blogging good day... take care...
How much fun is that!!!! She certainly needs her own blog to motivate other Waiting Grandparents who aren't so hip and technologically savy!!!! Welcome Linda!!!
Linda and family sound very cool! =)
I love when you mom leaves comments! How cool that she "gets it" and follows along in our journeys!!
Oooh, oooh, I got a comment from your cute, blog reading mom! Love the icon. You are one talented, crafty girl!

Fantastic! Great icon!
That's awesome that your mom is so interested that she's following other's blogs. I can't even get my mom to look at my own!
Love the icon!
Hi Donna,
New blogger to your blog - I'm a fellow Precious Panda member (lid 1/27/06).
Just wanted to stop by and say I love your blog! I love too that your mom is so into being a part of the adoption blog community - welcome Grandma Linda.
Hi Mom!! I think that idea is just wonderful!! Already know how much you care about that little bundle from China!!
Welcome to the blogging world Linda! I love it when our parents hop on board the China adoption blogs and get to know our online friends. Your daughter is a sweetie and I look forward to celebrating the referral of Lauren Elizabeth with her...and you!
I wanted to stop by and wish you and Joe a Merry Christmas and I hope the New Year has lots of great things in store for you! Happy Holidays! Stephe
I think she should win a grandma of the year award. I would vote for her!
Her FAVORITE Granddaughter,
Katie
