busy, busy...

We've been very busy at the Shelton household.  Lots going on, lots to talk about, no time to blog.  Since I last wrote on the blog, we've had Adeline's dedication at church; We went to Alabama for Claire's birthday party; I've been to a church women's retreat and had my first big sewing project (an ottoman type pillow) at a sewing class with some friends; Robert found out he passed one of his last two Architectural Registration Exams (still waiting on the last test result) and put together Adeline's new crib; Sabrina, Adeline and I met up with some friends at the San Antonio Zoo; Julie and Emmy came for a short shopping visit; Robert and Adeline had their first (virtually mama free) father/daughter weekend; Robert and I went on a (completely child free) date... woo-hoo!; Adeline started saying a ton of new words; We've had countless trips to the park, play dates, grocery store, and playing in the fountains; Our house now has a foundation and is halfway through framing (still on schedule... knock on wood!); And baby boy Shelton is now 21 weeks incubated.  

Whew.

A sampling of pictures below.

The borrowed DVDs and DVD player saved our sanity on the drive to Alabama! You can see the zoned out expression on Adeline's face in the mirror.
