New Glasses

 Deiana got some new glasses before the new school year begins.  She wore glasses all last year, but has kind of taken a break from them this summer.  A new eye exam confirms that she needs to wear them all the time.  She would like to have contacts but maybe in another year.

She got two pair because we got a really great deal.  She is modeling them here.  They are similar, one pair are brown and the other black with polka dots on the sides.  I think they are very cute.

Heat Wave

We have been experiencing very hot weather for our area.  High 90's to low 100's.

Our air conditioner has to run constantly to make the house tolerable.

And we are just not use to the heat, but sunny weather is great and it will be gone before we know it.

 Deiana had her friend over,  one of the girls from her gymnastics team.  They had already done 500 back handsprings in the living room so we went to the park for some cooling off fun.

They actually cancelled gymnastics practice today due to the 100+ degree weather. And the fact the the gym is not air conditioned.  That's okay, got their exercise flipping around our house.

 Its nice to have a friend that is as wild and crazy as you are!  These girls are two peas in a pod.

 Two more weeks of summer and back to school!!  Gymnastics meets also start in September!  That will all be new and exciting, we both can't wait. 

Late Summer

Deiana's 6 week of activity and diet restriction post surgery were tough (kind of).  The time really went by quickly.  She was back at gymnastics (with some restrictions) after 2 weeks.  She was flipping off the furniture at home, so why not. 
She quite enjoyed herself gorging on mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese, and has actually not wanted to go back on a regular diet. 
We have made it past the six week point with no complications, so all is back to normal.
We had a great time at our annual camping trip.  We had fun out on the water, Rosie really enjoyed the boat too.  Deiana couldn't do any wake boarding this year due to the risk of being hit in the face.  She did manage a slow tube ride.

Here is Deiana and my friend Bev taking a ride.

Jeremy is always the daredevil (since infancy)

Every year there is a theme night, this year we were pirates.  We really don't normally dress like a bunch of bikers.  Deiana loved her pirate girl costume and wants to wear it for Halloween!!  I love that idea. (By the way that is apple cider in her hand)

Just under one month of summer left for us.  There will be lots of gymnastics, playing with friends, shopping for new clothes (my personal favorite), and one final trip to the beach.  School starts on September 4, Deiana's birthday, so we'll end summer with a party.
