August 22

Tomorrow is my 12 year anniversary with Jennie (or better known as my 144th wedding anniversary since we celebrate monthly). We have nothing special planned at this time, but I think a long afternoon nap sounds delightful! Am I getting old?

Our house has been on the market for a little more than four days and we are already growing impatient! Come on, please sell it already! hehehe

With the $8,000 incentive for first-time homeowners still available and the recent upswing in home sales over the past three months, I cannot understand why no one has even made an inquiry or scheduled a tour. Oh well, I must have confidence that something great will happen in the coming weeks.

Daphne had a blast today walking around a local Toys R Us store. She could not contain her excitement for the Yo Gabba Gabba, Sesame Street, and Wonder Pets toys. Elmo (or as Daphne says, "MELL-moe") has a special place in her heart as well. At lunch, Daphne displayed her new found independence -- she loves to sip her drinks through a straw and prefers to use utensils to feed herself. "WATT-EE" is how she refers to water and "MUCK" is any other drink (milk, juice, etc).

A few days ago, Daphne was quietly playing in her room. Jennie captured some of Daphne's Kleenex fun in the photos below:







Until tomorrow,
