Hot and Humid

Summer has fully arrived with the heat and humidity. Upper 80's and 90 degree weather. Still can not down load pictures from the camera to the computer. Dave has a torn meniscus and ACL. He meets with the surgeon the 30th of July. We are planning surgery for him probably mid to late August. I've recovered from the diverticulitis episode that I had, which in turn the antibiotics gave me hives torso to toes, swollen lips and tongue. I itched incredibly bad for 3-4 days. Riley went to a Minor League Baseball game this week with the school age kids from daycare. Loved that! Bought a River Bandits baseball. Daily when I come home from work there is Riley and Dave playing Indiana Jones on the new Play Station 2 that we bought.. Yes, I have crossed over to the dark side (or some would say the 21 century) and we now have a video game system. Dave is in to it as much as Riley. I did buy my own game of PacMan, Asteroids, etc. I never get a chance to play much though. Riley has tried to teach me Indiana Jones, but how he can remember all he little tricks and stuff is beyond me. I am a simple game play. Let me eat dots and through fruit me on occasion and I am entertained. Cheyenne is growing up and changing so much. She's almost 3 1/2 yrs. old and sometimes too smart for her own good. Very beautiful and adorable though. Riley's blue eyes are stunningly gorgeous. Only in 3rd grade but I think come 6th grade he's going to be fighting off the girls. Cheyenne knows all her colors, alphabet, counts, and adds very basic addition, numbers less than 10. She is very much into shoes, purses and babies, and her pretend makeup (not play makeup , pretend, like it doesn't materially exist, just in her imagination). The kids and I had "Donut Day" we got up early on Friday and went to Hy-Vee (local grocery store). The kids picked out their donut and we bought juice and sat in the cafeteria and enjoyed a early morning donut and juice with all the old man drinking coffee before daycare and work. So that is what is going on around here. Dave and the kids are enjoying ice cream so I got to go get some. BYE!
