A Week Away

Mallory is of the age now that she nows and notices when you are gone.  It may be just 30 seconds of crying when you drop her off at the sitter or wherever, but it just makes it that much harder to leave!

This week I was off to Orlando.  Before you're all like ooohh fun, no not really.  I was there for a National Potato Expo, yes like the potatoes you eat.

I flew out Tuesday, Southwest this time not Delta!!  Left Nashville direct to Orlando, a normal flight thankfully!

I was at the Lowes Pacific Resort or something like that.  It was a nice resort hotel, part of the Universal Sudios hotels.

The trade show was Wednsday through Friday and I don't think I took a single picture while there.  Mom and Ben kept up with Mallory during my time away.  Ben said Thursday night Mallory was sitting looking at the door saying momma, momma.  : (  Made me miss them that much more!


I got back Friday afternoon late and was quite happy to be home!

Saturday we had Zaylei's 5th birthday party.  Stef had it at the gymnastic studio in town, same place we do Zumba, and they had a ball.  Mallory ran and played and climbed and I just tried to keep up with her.  Here's some pictures from the party.

Ben had to leave Sunday afternoon to catch a plane to go up to Racine for the week. I'm gone one week, he's gone the next! So Mallory and I went grocery shopping after Ben left. I ended up successfully locking myself out of the house Sunday night....lets just say we've fixed it so it's not somewhere someone's easily going to be able to get into. I need a better back up plan in case that happens again. Tucker and I were stuck outside with my shoes, phone, keys and Mallory all on the inside. I got in, it wasn't pretty, but I got in.

Hope everyone has a good week. I should get my office cleaned out and turned over on Friday and we are going to work on the house in Utica this weekend so it will be ready to get on the market asap.
