Daphne called me at work a few days ago to say, "Daddy, I just ate a hot dog all by myself."
Since I last wrote, she has gotten over her cold and appears to be fighting off another.
I'll post some photos after the hockey game tonight (honest Abe).
Until later,

Brrr... it's cold outside! Temperatures have been dipping into the 30s and the middle Tennessee region was under a freeze warning last night! Unbelievable.
Daphne is running a fever of 101 and has shared her sniffles with me. I have a sore throat and feel a little dizzy myself. Oh well, colds come and go.
Hockey season begins in a few days! I'm so excited...
I will post some new photos of Daphne this evening.
Until tomorrow,

Today, Jennie had another hydrosonogram to verify her uterus is ready for another pregnancy. Good news! She is doing well and we are on target to have a frozen embryo implanted approximately 67 days from now (give or take a day or two).
Here are some new photos of Daphne from our camping trip last weekend:

Daphne is excited about Halloween! Jennie and Mimi took her shopping over the weekend and bought Daphne a duck costume. I will post some photos of her trying it on tonight.
It has been awhile since I have posted any Daphne statistics.
Height: 38 inches
Weight: 29 1/2 pounds
Shoe size: 8 1/2 toddler (big foot)
Clothes: 3-T (soon to be 4-T)
Daphne's favorite character is Thomas the Train. She can spend hours watching Thomas and playing around the train table at Barnes & Noble. When asked if she wanted a Dora the Explorer or Elmo backpack, she insisted "No, my want Thomas!"
More later...
Evening Update: Daphne trying on her Halloween costume. We still have to get some orange tights and a yellow undershirt, but she's already quacking all over the place.
Until tomorrow,

Daphne loves to count everything. In fact, one of her favorite sayings these days is, "Daddy, let's count 'em" (speaking of any random item or collection of items).
Singing the ABC song is another of Daphne's favorite activities. Sometimes she forgets M and substitutes O in the place of U, but otherwise she's right on the money. She usually aces the challenging, "L-M-N-O-P" where she used to always say, "Elmo Pee".
Whether she's imitating a penguin sliding on ice or performing a chicken dance around the room, Daphne is always full of surprises. You can never guess what's about to come out of her mouth. "My go nuts, my go nuts, my go nuts!" she proudly exclaims as she runs in circles around the couch in the living room.
Jennie, Mimi, PopPop, and Daphne met for lunch at Captain D's on Wednesday. They serve Daphne's favorite food group: Mac 'n Cheese. While finishing up their meal in the dining room, the cashier walked by and said, "I have a 2 year old at home."
Daphne asked, "what's her name?"
The cashier replied, "I have a boy. His name is Cameron."
Mimi prompted Daphne, "Are you a girl or a boy?"
"My a girl, " asserted Daphne in a serious tone. Everyone smiled.
With a straight face and absolute certainty, Daphne said, "My have a penis." Unfortunately, everyone laughed. "My also eat my boogies."
We are so proud of our little gender confused, boogie eater!

Jennie and I celebrate our lucky 13th year of marriage tomorrow. Mimi & PopPop are watching Daphne while we go out on the town. I scored some free tickets to see the Titans in a luxury suite. Yeehaw!
Today I knocked out a ton of chores around the house. I did some touch up painting, fixed a broken armoire, vacuumed the dining room, and unpacked a few more boxes (only a few remain). Jennie & Daphne went on a play date with a friend and her kids.
Daphne and I took a bath today in Mommy's incredibly large garden tub. She flopped around like a fish while I soaped up her 2000 parts and washed her hair. She made sure to point out that my tootie was different from hers. I continually tell her that Daddy is a boy and she is a girl. "Daddy, when will I grow a penis?" I told her that she is a princess and does not need one. "But, Daddy, I NEED a penis like you." I insisted that her tootie was all she would ever need. "I bet Mommy & Mimi have lots of penis." I laughed and said, "yes, they do." I sang some nursery rhymes with Daphne to change the subject...

Last night was difficult for Jennie. It was the first time that she has ever been apart from Daphne overnight. (Daphne spent the night with Mimi & PopPop).
Here's how our morning began:
4:50am - Alarm clock buzzes and I droopily walk to the shower. I wake up Jennie and get the car loaded.
5:45am - We arrived at the surgery center on time. Paperwork and waiting.
7:37am - Jennie is called to the back by a nurse. I wait patiently for a few minutes and get called back to join Jennie.
8:05am - the doctor meets with us (pre-op) and explains what is about to occur.
8:16am - Jennie is carted away and I return to the waiting room.
9:04am - Surgery successful! The doctor consults with me and explains our next steps. He gave me a color printout of Jennie's polyp. What a great item to leave on the coffee table for your guests!
9:17am - waiting for Jennie to wake from the anesthesia.
NOTE: The doctor said we should be home by noon.
9:50am - Jennie is groggy, but is starting to wake up.
10:45am - Discharged from the hospital!
11:30am - Prescriptions filled; OCharley's curbside to-go for a starving Jennie.
1:03pm - Nap time! I'll write more later...
Until tomorrow,
Dave T.

Cross your fingers and toes! Tomorrow morning is Jennie's surgery. She is having a minor procedure to get her ready for the embryo implantation in October.
If I get a free moment, I will upload some new photos of Daphne tonight...
