Vegan food for the Soul

I have so much to write about I don't even know where to start! August has really flown by and while it's still so hot, the mornings and nights are getting cooler, so I know Summer is winding down. This past weekend we had aunt Rebecca and her boyfriend Chris here for a visit. We kept really busy by going tubing down the "Hooch", going to the aquarium, doing the coke tour, dining out and eating in! One day Chris and Rebecca were in charge of dinner and they made soy tacos and they were honestly really good. We also ate at a vegan soulfood restaurant. Not bad....seriously! Jan watched Camryn while we went tubing but Camryn came along to everything else and was really good and I think she really enjoyed herself! The weekend went by too fast, and I think we were all sad to see it end!

This coming weekend we are taking it easy because next weekend is out big trip to Charleston! let me just say, I need it! I can't wait to relax for a couple of days....Ahhhh! The weekend after that is Camryn's first birthday party! We are having in the clubhouse of our subdivision just to have a little extra space. We've got lots of family coming into town so it should be great! I also decided that Camryn and I are taking our first girls trip together. Bert is going out of town for a weekend in October so Camryn and I are going to drive down to Tallahassee and see our buddies. So I can pretty safely say that this next month is going to be fun, but busy!

Little Camryn is really starting to look more like a toddler than a baby. She is not quite walking but she takes 4 or 5 steps at a time. Her balance is getting better she stands without holding on, clapping her hands. I gave her her first mini haircut, just trimmed her bangs, but I think it made her look more like a big girl! She raises her hands in the air when we say "touchdown"! She has her real laugh and a fake laugh that I think she uses when she just wants to appease us! She's a really good, easy baby, but she can throw a nice little tantrum every so often.
