At 11:24 am, Crosby Fox turned 3 years and 37 weeks old!!! At 1:03 pm, Jane Claire turned 24 weeks old!!! I would talk about how amazed I am at how quickly time is passing by and how it breaks my heart that it is going so incredibly fast but I don't have time for all of that. We are at the BEACH!!! I will whine when we get back home and normal life resumes!!! Based on the above statement, we will be home before I know it...
On Tuesday, we headed back to the beach club for a day full of swimming. Well. Almost everyone did a little swimming. Somebody spent much of the day snoozing away. That may have something to do with the fact there she was completely out of sorts at night. Ahhhh...
She wasn't the only one who was out of sorts sleep wise. Crosby went to bed super late most nights and skipped naps most days. And to top that off, he slept on a mattress, on the floor bedside Blake! (not because there wasn't room elsewhere...we just wanted to keep mess to a minimum!) Did I mention Jane Claire was in a pack-n-play in the closet?!? ;-) Fun times! Next year, we may stick both of them out in the guest house by themselves. Don't worry. We would lock the door! ;-)
Back to the pool...Crosby soaked up all of the pool time with his daddy. There was lots of laughter coming from these two all day long...
Blake and Crosby had to kick the soccer ball around a bit...
Here is a picture of the MUCH improved splinter hand! (see last weeks post for details...I just added those in because they were on a different camera!)
Being in the water all day helped work out a few more of the smaller splinters. Poor thing! It didn't phase him in the least!
GranBuddy and Lulu spent the day in Savannah. They ate dinner before they headed home so we attempted dinner with a napless Crosby. It didn't go over so well...
Davis enjoyed his night despite watching the big boy loose his meal!
On Wednesday, the boys headed out for a game of golf. That left the girls an home with all the kiddos! We were out numbered for sure. We decided to take them all out for a bike ride...
Needless to say, we got a little workout on our adventure! When we got back, I got a little crafty and made something special for my music man...
He needed a microphone for his concerts!! Pretty clever, no!?! I was impressed with myself. He LOVED it!
We spent Thursday on Jekyll Island. We went to the Sea Turtle Center and got to see a few turtles that were there for rehabilitation. I am hoping Jessica got a few good pictures I can add to this later. We got to watch the veterinary staff placing a tracking device on an alligator. Then they performed debridement on the shell of a really large turtle. It was such a neat place. We headed to a nearby hotel to eat lunch. And snap a few pictures. Jessica has most of those too! We will get it organized one of these years. For now, mine and Lucy's will suffice!
The boys waiting for lunch. Wait. Did we catch GranBuddy taking a pre-meal bite of that cinnamon roll??? ;-)
We ran around the property after lunch, talking pictures of the kiddos! And we got a few cute ones with the adults too! Lulu and Crosby...
Are these not the most beautiful trees ever. Oh what I would give to have one of these in my yard...
Little Bit didn't get any pictures in the tree. She is just a tad small! But she sure did look cute on Lulu's bed...
Later that night, Jessica and I had a smocking lesson with Lulu...
Let's see if I will ever get around to making that dress for my sweet girl!?! I have to...
Then it was Friday. The day Lulu and GranBuddy had to leave. Oddly enough, Jane Claire and I were up at 5:30, right when they were packing up! Oh, what a rough night... I decided to turn it into a positive and headed out on the beach to see the sunrise. Lulu had done it almost every day so she knew what time to tell me. We got out there a tad early and strolled a bit...
It was a cloudy morning so it wasn't a pretty a sight as I had hoped for. But we were blessed with the most amazing gift that morning. It had something to do with these little friends...
Are they not the most precious things you have ever seen??? Lucy had seen someone out checking the nest the morning before. When I saw a girl ride on to the beach, heading straight toward the nest, I knew she was probably checking for hatchlings. Jane Claire and I hustled to see what she had in her hands. She was able to retrieve around 15 baby turtles from the nest. There were even more that weren't quite ready. What a special treat it was to see this little ones being released into the ocean...
So did this one!
Up close...
And a video of the little one practicing for its big swim!
Headed home...
Taken off to sea...
So who cares that the sunrise wasn't all that pretty?!?
Friday was a low key day. We did head out to the beach that night in an attempt to get family pictures. Crosby and Eva looked too cute hand in hand! Crosby was carrying his "Goodbye Letter" Lulu left for him. Too sweet...
Jane Claire was up early again on Saturday. So we headed out to see the sunrise again. It was a little less cloudy but still not the greatest sunrise ever! The Edenfields joined us, hoping to see more turtle action. No such luck...
We spent Sunday with the Malone crew, including Jason, Kerri, Sam and Gid. Had I realized they would be in town, I would have taken pictures!!! We had not seen them in months! We had a great time with them, as usual. Oh for it to happen more often...
I think I will wrap up this incredibly long post! Of course I have a picture of my girl...
