What we have been up to...

On Sunday, we went to Erin Michelle's for a cookout. We had a great time. Thank you for the invite!!!

My mom came in to town on Monday. Ryan taught her how to cut hair. These are pictures from the lesson. Now I know what my hubby will look like if he goes bald in the middle! Hot Bozo!!

Mom (Grammy) did a great job of spoiling/loving on Lucy McLean and Snoop. They miss her already!!!
Ryan's mom (Nana) is at Lutheridge for the week. Mom and I decided to go surprise her today. This is of her and Miss Wide Eyes!
And updates on Lucy McLean...
1. She is smiling and laughing at us all the time ... well when she isn't hungry!!!

2. She is still totally in love with her daddy. She is rolling over now (first time on Tuesday). This is of her looking at Ryan after she rolled over! He is such a good coach!

3. Notice anything missing? Yep, little miss is holding her bottle/praying! This doesn't last long, but she tries. We have tried giving her cereal once/day and the spoon IS NOT working AT ALL. She just gets mad that she doesn't get to eat fast enough. So... we put it in a bottle and she goes to town. Miss INDEPENDENT! Any ideas on starting the cereal.. bring them on!

It is amazing how time flies. She is getting to be such a big girl. We feel totally blessed and amazed at what the Lord has allowed us to experience with becoming parents. Thank you to all who have lifted us up in prayer over the past 3 months. This is the greatest journey!!!

Hey Ryan and Erin! This is Travis and Jennifer Sinclair. Martha and Anna told us about your blogspot, so we checked it out to see how you guys are doing. It's so neat to see Lucy McLean. She is beautiful! Can you believe our daughter, Felicity Anne, was born on 3/27, just several days after Lucy McLean? How neat! Felicity is growing like a weed and her personality sure is shining! It's great to know another couple who is experiencing all of the newborn excitement at the same time. We must get together to introduce the girls and compare notes! I'd like to show you pictures of Felicity, so maybe we can get your email addresses. Let us know when you guys are coming to Lincolnton!

Hey Travis, Jennifer and Felicity Anne (are you calling her both?). Thanks for commenting. We were actually talking about you guys when we were in town the other weekend. Of course, the weekend flew by and we didn't get a chance to try to catch up with you. Both of these little girls came in to the world a little early! We would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see you guys and meet Miss Felicity Anne. Send us pictures when you get a chance. My email (Erin) is erinlshelton@gmail.com Drop us an email so that we have yours. MAKE SURE TO ATTACH SOME PICS!!! Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope to hear from you soon. I will send this on to Ryan and hopefully he can catch up with you too!

Hey girlie It's your cuz here Alli. Just looked at the new pics of LM and she is doing soo good! It seemed like 4 ever b4 Hazel would hold her bottle by herself too. As far as the cereal thing goes, Jakob had a sweet toothe and would only take it initially with a little bit of karo syrup or rice syrup mixed in. Hazel on the other hand was satisfied with mixing it w BM but it had to be the right texture! Such a princess huh? Maybe trying those would help getting her on the spoon. Any other help it can be just call. Luvs to all
