Swing time

Today Daphney and I did not do a single productive thing. It was great. I did a yoga video and walked in the morning, the rest of the day was spent piddling. We went to Wal-Mart, Target, and Babies-R-Us to cashed in on all the summer clearance toys. I bought 6 inflatable pools all for $5 and $10. I know, sounds excessive, but those things have a pretty short lifespan. We also got some beach balls, bubble blowing 'things', and lastly.... A SWING!

After buying $70 worth of metal chain for my $13 swing, I spent the afternoon trying to hoist the 19ft long chains over a tree branch only to acquire several cuts on my legs and about 100 mosquito bites. When Donald got home he was able to complete my 'swing hanging'. Daphney got in a quick evening swing ride before the mosquitoes chanced us (i.e. ME) inside. She had an absolute blast, showing off her trade mark ear to ear grin!

Visit with Katy

This past Thursday a dear sweet friend flew in from Tampa to visit me and Daphney. I have been looking forward to Katy's visit for weeks and we had the most wonderful time. We went on daily morning walks, spent an afternoon at the spa, did tons of shopping, watched movies, and stuffed ourselves with good food! Spending time with such dear friends is the best!.. I just wish we could do it more often.

Daphney loved meeting her auntie Katy... and of course Jackson loved the company too. He even got to sleep in the bed with our guest despite my objection:).

Update on Daphney: still saying/repeating lots of words. A new trick is to point out 'toes'. Also, two new teeth have appeared to make a total of four!
