Streetcar and The Peabody

Saturday the weather was perfect. We decided to get out of the apartment and go downtown. First off, we went to the Farmer's Market. I bought some fresh vegetables. I cannot wait until I can grow my own. Our new home has an area in the yard that will become our garden. Yay! Anyways, after getting the veggies, we decided to go on the streetcar. It takes you around downtown Little Rock, and then over the Arkansas River to North Little Rock. The streetcar was decorated just darling. It was fun.

Rob took this picture of Max. I thought it turned out really cute.

 

Looking at the sights.

 

Max telling his dad some very improtant things.

 

Once we got off the streetcar, we looked at the time and realized that if we walked quickly, we could make it to The Peabody Hotel by 11:00 for the ducks. For those of you who have never heard of the ducks at The Peabody, let me tell you it is quite a sight to see. Each day at 11:00, the "duckmaster" chooses an individual to help him go and get the ducks from the 2nd floor. The ducks arrive by elevator, and then scurry down the red carpet and into the pond. There is music playing in the background (I don't remember now what song) so the ducks know to perform. At 5:00, the ducks are escorted back to the elevator and up to their room. We were able to witness the whole ordeal. Max was thrilled to be able to see the ducks in the fountain. Max was also delighted to go up and down the elevator in the hotel.

 

Jumping Video

Here is Max "jumping" on the coffee table in the apartment in Little Rock.

Climber

Max LOVES to climb right now. He climbs on everything. Yesterday, after we gave him dessert, he was on a bit of a sugar high. He climbed onto the coffee table and started to "jump." His jumps are mostly him stomping one foot. It is hilarious. We also told him to "SMILE!" and that is the first picture you see here:

 

Here he is climbing up:

 

A natural smile:

 

Right now I am back in Frisco. I drove back this morning. We close on our home here this week, so I needed to come back to wrap things up. I will admit, driving for 5 hours when you are 8 months pregnant is not a fun experience. I stopped 4 times, but the baby is getting big enough that she pinches my nerves when I sit in the same attitude for too long. Max did really well on the drive though. I was proud of my little boy. Hopefully the drive to Little Rock on Thursday night will go smoothly.

Trip to Utah

Max and I went to Utah a few weeks ago. We had a great time being with family.

 

Swings

Max LOVES to go to the park and swing. We are excited that our new home has a swingset in the backyard.

 

 

 

 

Arkansas

Robert, Max and I are in the process of moving to Little Rock, AR. Robert has started working as an associate stock analyst for Stephens. We are closing on our home in Frisco, TX at the end of the month. We are closing on our home in Little Rock, AR at the beginning of November. It has been a bit crazy. However, we are still finding time to enjoy our time together. We went to an air show a couple of weekends ago.

 

 

We have a park really close to the apartment we are in. Max loves the bridge. He throws any and all leaves, pine needles, pine cones, etc. into the river.

 

 

It has been a lot of change, but I think we are adjusting fairly well.
