HELLO WORLD!!!

HERE I AM!!!

William Ryan Shelton, III "Tripp"

God brought me into the world at 8:48 am on Saturday, February 20, 2010!

Hi I'm Lucy McLean...

and I am a photographer like my dad!

(or so I think)

We are now starting the when I break my daddy's camera and this isn't cute anymore fund. Feel free to donate at any time!

Miss Independent

I guess I should be excited that Miss Priss is becoming more and more independent every hour, seeing how a new little munchkin is on the way. She really cracks me up with her crazy combinations. Sorry the lighting is so bad. You can tell I took these pics and not Ryan!

Brother or Sister?

For awhile now, we have been asking Lucy McLean what she thinks is in my belly (boy or girl). Last night, while we were at dinner, she pointed to my tummy and announced "Baby sister". We laughed because Ryan is SURE it is a boy (not in that he is a man and really wants a son kinda way...he was SURE Lucy McLean was a girl). So, Ryan asked Lucy McLean if she would send him back if he was a baby brother. She quickly responded "Yes daddy"! This should be interesting!

I am carrying very different this time, so most people's guess is boy. I certainly don't win the motherly instinct award because I have not a clue. I guess we will see VERY SOON! They want to induce on the 24th if Baby S hasn't made his/her grand entrance by then. Thank you for all of your prayers and support as we embark on this new journey of becoming a family of 4!

Powerful

(Sorry, my baby brain won't let me embed this...but please go to this link)

Erin Michelle introduced me to this powerful way of displaying testimonies. I am now obsessed with these. There are tons on You Tube. On a weekend filled with commercialized ways of showing others our love, I felt like this was appropriate to show TRUE LOVE! What an awesome God we serve. Thank you Lord for healing the broken and loving our filth! I am in awe!

Big Sister

Lucy McLean practices being a big sister in the nursery with her baby dolls. She is pretty hilarious. We are going to have to watch her like a hawk with her baby brother/sister.

Head first into the cradle!

Aren't I helpful!?

I can read to the baby and hold it with one arm!

And I have to feed her!

And did I mention she is almost 2? Can you tell? Boy are we going to have our hands full!

Early Valentines Present

Grammy and Grampy bought LM her very own stroller for Valentines Day. While I was taking a shower before church yesterday and Ryan was watching Sports Center, I mean Lucy McLean, I heard a knock at the bathroom door. Before I knew it, I noticed the door opening. Lucy McLean had gone into our bedroom, in our closet and found her new stroller. She was standing there holding the box squeeling "MAMA BABY"! So, Lucy McLean got a Happy February 7th present from her Grammy and "Gampy". She was totally in love!

Helping Daddy put it together
The finished product!

Thank you!
