The Malones: Mondays with Crosby and Jane Claire

At 11:24 am, Crosby Fox turned 3 years and 24 weeks old!!! At 1:03 pm, Jane Claire turned 11 weeks old!!! What a busy, summer week this has been. Kind of a whirlwind, actually! And to think I was worried that we wouldn't have anything to do this summer! What was I thinking?

We started with swimming lessons on Tuesday morning at 9:30. It is hard to believe now, but the weather was overcast that morning and the water was really cold! Crosby didn't care one bit. He jumped right in with no problem...

He sat up on the step just like he did this time last year...

And went right to Mrs. Becca when it was his turn...

Even when that meant spending time UNDER water!!!

Kicking his legs...

"Cutting pizza" with his arms...

We went Tuesday through Friday from 9:30-10:15. By the end of the week, he was swimming under water from one person to another!

Look at my little fish go!!!

At the end of the day on Friday, they turned the water on the slide and let the kiddos go down a few times. Crosby was a HUGE fan...

Crosby and Zack headed down...

down...

SPLASH!

My little clown fish holding up his graduation certificate! So proud of my little man!

Sweet sister and I just hung out in the pool house.

She had a good ole time! ;-)

On Thursday, we took Blake to the airport. He had a conference in Las Vegas (sure..."conference" ;-) ). Crosby, Jane Claire and I stayed here because I had a wedding to attend on Friday night. One of my friends from OT school was marrying a guy that went to Centre College while Blake was there. Small world! Somehow, in a school of 1000 students, Blake and Mickey didn't know each other!?!? So funny. Anywho, we dropped Blake off to catch his flight and that left me flying solo Thursday night. All I can say about that is I am so thankful to have a husband that is so hands on with our kiddos. Thursday night was exhausting but we survived. The next morning, I loaded us up, headed to swim lessons and afterwards, met Gee Gee in Brentwood to drop off Crosby with her. Once the switch was made, Jane Claire and I started to make our way to Louisville, KY. Little Miss screamed her head off until we got to the Kentucky line. I am pretty sure I pulled over 4 times attempting to get her to keep the pacifier in her mouth. No such luck. Apparently, she is not a fan of the car seat and the car!! Yikes...

Me and Jane Claire with the Sorgs...

Jane Claire was great during the wedding. She just sat up looking around at everyone, soaking in her very first wedding. I am sure she was taking notes! Heaven help me...

We stayed with another friend from OT school, Kellie. I could kick myself for only taking one, not so great picture of our kiddos. None of the two of us! And none of her girls without intense bed head!!!

Ella and Kate with Jane Claire...

Jane Claire and I spent the day hanging out with Kellie and her family. I headed out of town that evening and met up with Rocky and Amy Oliver, friends from Auburn. I had just learned that they are expecting TWINS so it was exciting to see them. Of course they were thrilled to meet Jane Claire too! After dinner with the Olivers, Jane Claire and I made our way back to Nashville. Of course, she screamed for the first 30 minutes of the trip, crushing my heart into a million pieces again. Seriously brutal for this momma. We made it back home around 11:15 Saturday night! What a quick but fun trip. It was great to catch up with so many dear friends.

Sunday was Father's Day! Jane Claire and I met my family at Jim and Nicks to celebrate with my dad...
