Little Rockin' it out

A week ago we flew from DC to Little Rock and let me tell you Southwest Airlines receives a √! Since they had extra seats on the plane, they offered for us to bring Hersh's carseat on the plane and use the third seat in our row for it. Oh, and did I mention that Southwest also does not charge for baggage--amazing!

Anyway, upon arriving in Little Rock we spent the weekend with our good friends from college. Craig flew in from Atlanta and Jordan drove in from Dallas with his wife Misty and their children, Beatrice and Henry. We had an amazing time!

On Wednesday night Rosh HaShannah began and Hersh helped welcome in his first new year--5771. Hersh has really enjoyed being with his great-grandmother, Bamom, and his Sabba and Savta. The other big news of the week is that Hersh tried sold foods for the first time. Yams were the cuisine of choice and I must say, I think he liked it (check out the video and see for yourself). Hersh has also been rolling over every now and again and can sit-up on his own in the "tri-pod" position!

Tonight we will go to the football game--go Hogs! Should be fun. Razorback football is like a religion here and people are psyched for the game. Most home games are played up in Fayetteville at the U of A stadium. But each year there are a few games played in Little Rock. I actually just came back from the grocery store and let me tell you, people are getting ready to do some serious tailgating. Everyone has on their Razorback gear and come six o'clock this evening the streets will be empty because the whole state will be cheering on the Hogs!

And believe it or not, moving day is just around the corner. We leave Tuesday morning and it feels like we are getting closer and closer to being ready to go. We are busy trying to do whatever we can to organize ourselves before we get to Vienna so that when we do things like open up a Viennese bank account and get European cell phones, maybe the process will be easy?
Once we know our Viennese cell #'s I will post them on the blog. Also, my US cell phone #, which I have had for years and do not want to give up, will become our home phone number in Vienna thanks to Vonage. Next Thursday we plan to visit IKEA Austria to outfit our apartment. Should be an interesting experience.

Hope you all enjoy the pictures and videos! The next post will be written from our new home, Vienna, Austria!
