48 hours of Arkansan love

Last weekend we hopped on a plane and headed to Little Rock for the weekend.  Well, maybe it wasn't as easy as it sounds....

On Friday we headed to the airport for our flight. Hersh was very excited to take the bus from the parking lot to the airport and then get on the plane.  We made it to the airport in plenty of time and decided to go and have lunch.  We strolled to our gate at 1:15, thinking that we were there at the perfect time to board our 1:50 flight.  Well, after a few minutes at the gate and no boarding action, Jacob decided to check on our flight status.  It was then that we learned our flight had left without us!  It was scheduled to depart at 1:05, not 1:50.  We had been at the airport the entire time, and simply missed our flight!  Needless to say, we were both in shock, but we held it together, got tickets for the next day and headed home.  Hersh was excited to get to ride the bus (again), and Jacob and I now know to triple check our flight time!

We arrived in Little Rock on Saturday and spent the next 48 hours enjoying being with family.  The weather was lovely, and Hersh was so happy to be with his Sabba, Savta, and Bamom.  We only wish we could've stayed longer.

Busy, busy and Chilly, chilly!

The words busy and chilly summarize pretty well how the last few weeks have been.   Between working, having a child, and seeing friends and family, there are not very many spare moments!  Also, we have finally had some chillier days that actually feel like winter--hopefully this won't last. The reason I wrote these two words double in the title is because this is how Hersh says them.  Words like busy, chilly, cozy, silly, and hurry are all said in double, and boy, is it cute!

This past week we celebrated Tu B'shvat.  One of the perks of my job is that it was very easy to access a small pot and some quick growing wheat germ seeds, which Hersh planted with some assistance from Abba.  Digging into the big bag of dirt with his "shogel" or shovel, was both fun and dirty.  Also,  Jacob and Hersh have been enjoying swimming together on Sunday mornings while I am at yoga. 

This upcoming weekend we are headed to Little Rock (!) for some family time and we can't wait.  Hoping for some warm temperatures and a little Arkansan love!

He sees something--probably the moon.
