I regretfully admit that over the last few weeks I haven't taken many pictures. Everyone warned me that as time passes the photography would slow down. I will make a conscious effort to continue taking lots of photos!

A Sunday Evening...............

Last night was a bit long. Austin and I are convinced that Camden is beginning to teethe. We were up every hour attempting to console our little man. He wanted to snuggle in the recliner all night long. So after church this morning and lunch at my parents', Austin, Camden, and I took a nap all afternoon. At 5 p.m. we finally all woke up. After some play time, Austin got busy in writing a test for his students while Camden and I completed some much needed chores. Here are some photos of our evening.

Camden in his walker for the first time. It appears that it will be stationary for awhile as his little legs don't touch the ground even on the short heigth setting.



Camden playing and watching Mommy do dishes and Daddy creating a test.




Believe it or not, but Camden really does like doing laundry.

Fall Is Here..........

The Yake Family is so happy that fall is finally here! It is so nice to go outside and not sweat and not need a coat. This week was a typical week as we didn't have too much going on. Monday and Tuesday after I got home from work and picked up Camden we picked up sticks and limbs in our yard from last Sunday's wind storm, fixed dinner for Daddy, and got ready for bed. Wednesday morning, I took Camden to get his 6 month immunizations. While we were there, I received a pertussis tetanus vaccine (I forget how sore your arm becomes after a tetanus shot). After receiving our vaccinations we went to the grocery at Save-a-Lot to stock up on baby food (for all you moms out there Save-a-lot has Beechnut baby food jars for $.40 which is about $.25 cheaper than Wal-mart or JayC - quite a savings when you buy about 40 jars at a time). Then we went to the park to for our play date. We were few in numbers but had a lot of fun. Camden played at the park for his first time and loved the swing. We took lots of pictures for Daddy and here are just a few!



Thursday I worked and Camden played all day with Nana and Pappy. Grammy and Pappy Yake came over for pizza in the evening. On Friday, Camden and I went with Austin to work. Camden and I make a quick trip to Kohls and Wal-mart during Daddy's office hour and then made a visit to Daddy's co-workers. Then we went to a cook-out at the Bean's for dinner. We had yummy hot dogs over the fire and my favorite - SMORES! I can't seem to get enough of those yummy treats. I think that is why fall is my favorite time of the year.

Today, well, after waking up and feeding Camden I've done 2 loads of laundry, baked a chicken, picked some apples and pears, uploaded pictures to Shutterfly, finished picking up sticks in the yard, and have made 2 pumpkin pies. Oh, and have updated this blog. My folks are coming over for dinner this evening, so I need to run and start peeling potatoes and cleaning the chicken for the chicken casserole. That's all for now.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
