Ben headed out on Tuesday the 11th and should be back Friday the 21st. It's also the middle of harvest this year, so he's bummed he's not getting to help dad more, but that's just how it fell this year.
Bean and I have busy while he's in Ohio.
Gymnastics on Monday
A 6 mile run together on Tuesday
I had a spa party thing on Wednesday night
We stuck around home together on Thursday night and washed dishes
Friday night we hit up Toys R Us, had dinner at Chick Fil A and I let her run around on the indoor play ground, which she LOVED!
We then went to the newer and even closer Publix that opened on Wednesday and did some grocery shopping.
Saturday we got up bright and early to meet Kristy for the Trot for the Troops 5K in Hopkinsville.
Bean had a ball, although fairly squirmy before and after the race.
I ran my fastest 5K post baby yet, while pushing the jogging stroller. Around 33:20 and Kristy was about a minute faster than my time. We had a ball!!
Saturday night we went over to Tiffany's for a dinner with some others to welcome a new family in town as she's going to have their 9 month old to watch. So that was fun!!
Sunday morning I had to get up and get packed for my trip to New Orleans for the inaugural Women in Agribusiness Summit where I got to moderate one session and then head up one of the breakout sessions.
Bean crashed with mom and dad and I left at 9 am to catch my flight.
Luckily on the shuttle to the hotel I met a few others in for the conference and we all wanted to go to Bourbon Street, but not alone!
We all piled up into a taxi and headed first to Cafe Du Monde, known for their beignets, so that was lunch. Then we walked over to Bourbon St and we walked around and I took them to Pat O'Brians for Hurricanes.
Of course there was Blue Dog stuff!
Our hotel was right across from the Superdome aka home of Drew Brees aka home of Katrina folks.
The summit was great, lots of valuable networking, great speakers and I got to do my thing as well. I really do enjoy being in front of people! It's like free advertising!
They had great swag for us! You know it's a women's conference when they give you a purse hanger as a gift!
Flew out Tuesday at lunch, just in time to go straight to Hopkinsville and pick up Tucker, drop him off and get clothes for Bean's gymnastics, get her changed and off to gymnastics.
And Wednesday am I had a lovely visit to the dentist to start the work on permanently fixing the tooth I broke 2/3 of it off about a month ago. Fun fun.
Oh, speaking of the dentist, Bean made her first trip to the dentist last week too! I somehow failed to get a picture, but she did great! All is good till she turns 3.
This was before we left for the dentist, she kept closing her eyes!!
Here's a few other pictures and we will be so glad when Ben's home!!
And, I taught Bean to say "howdee" like Minnie Pearl, although it comes out a little different:
