A Fun Weekend!!

Greetings friends and family!!



It's been a busy week.



Monday - I did a presentation to an Ag Class at one of the Community Colleges about careers in Agriculture.  Then I made a mad dash over to Owensboro to finish getting the house in order so it could go on the market on Tuesday.  Then a mad dash back home to Elkton to get Bean and go to Bed.  Ben was in Racine Sunday through Wednesday.



I started not feeling great on Tuesday and Mallory wasn't feeling great on Wednesday so we both crashed at home.  Then Thursday we had to be home as well, so it wasn't a great week to get much accomplished at work.  Back to the grind Friday but then I had a Board of Directors meeting on Friday at lunch, so that killed several hours as well.



Ben was home Wednesday night and then had to turn around and leave for Louisville on Friday to start setting up for the National Farm Machinery Show.  But, surprise to all of us, after being up there for a few hours they decided they didn't need as many people as they had so he came back home Friday night.



Now he's not feeling great, tonsilitis or something along that lines.  He went to urgent care on Saturday, or Elkton's version of Urgent Care, and got some meds.  I worked on cleaning the house and doing dishes.  We had a lazy afternoon and fixed a big breakfast for dinner Saturday night.  We got up early on Sunday and headed to Nashville to go to the National Wild Turkey Federation Expo.  We haven't been able to go the past 2 years, so it was fun to get to go back.



Mallory had a ball, here's some pictures of her at the expo.  They had a big blow up "cave" that you could go through for the kids and they gave you flashlights.  It was really fun, Mallory had to go through twice, once with me and then with Ben!!

























Then we headed over to the boot store to see about Ben some pants.  No luck with pants but I found what I'm considering my Valentine's Present, some new boots!  Ben got a shirt and I think that since Mallory is so in love with this purple stick horse from the store, that's what I need to get her for Valentines Day!







Then we met ALL the family in Elkton to go out to eat for Mom's birthday, which is Wednesday.



Today, the 13th, is the day 2 years ago when I found out I was leaking amnionic fluid and found myself in an ambulance on the way to Louisville hoping my bean was not going to be born this early.

7 weeks in the hospital and Mallory was still 7 weeks early and then 5 weeks in the NICU.  It was a long 3 months in Louisville.  So, we are Marching for Babies again this year, Team Butterbean wants to be well represented, so be sure to make a donation to Team Butterbean!!



Happy Valentines Day ya'll!  And Happy Birthday to Mom on Wednesday.



Bean and I are headed up to Louisville on Thursday night to meet up with Ben for the Farm Show!!
