My honey recently did a clinical rotation in Little Rock, Ar. at Childrens Hospital. Since it would be for more than a month the girls, our lab and I all went along. What a fun, jam packed month. Our little adventure did seem reminiscent of mine and my husbands earlier years when we both worked on the race track and moved 4 times a year. As with those other places where we would live for a few months at a time Little Rock too will hold a little piece of our history and a little piece of my heart. When it was time to pack up and head back to Missouri, I realized it would hold a little piece of my oldest daughters heart as well who was quietly crying as we drove away from our little apartment.

Here are some of our highlights: Watching the Wizzard of Oz on a projected screen on our blanket on the river front. Attending a BB King and Willie Nelson concert on the river front, yes with the kiddos. Other fun downtown would be: riding the cable cars, playing in the water fountains, the discovery center. Our favorite store was called Ten Thousand Villages, which sells only fairly traded merchandise from other countries. Truely beautiful, unique, hand crafted items... no "mass production" here.

Also sweet memories are our evening bike ride to pick wild blackberries that grew all around the apartment where we stayed. I will not get the image out of my head of my husband on his bike towing Emma behind and Julia closely fallowing on her bike. Our Lab and I brought up the "rear" since I always walked and jogged with her.

There was the most amazing field across from the apartment where I took some pictures of my girls before we left. What a beautiful memory!

Enjoy~
