April Showers

The family headed to CRW_8965Rochester for a reminder that Spring has not fully sprung across the entire country – as well as a great visit with Amy’s extended family. My mom also joined us for the trip. We’ve had some rain earlier in the week, and it’s been quite chilly – especially today as we prepare to head back to the A-T-L. In the 40s here, expected to hit 85 today at home. Now there’s a contrast for ya. Sam had a fab time with all his grandparents in attendance, and thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Seneca Park Zoo (photo of Amy, Sam and a playful polar bear at right) and the Strong Museum. He also took to singing along with the crowd at both Seders. Zoo gallery here. Passover/Family gallery is here.

One Going on Eighteen

I%27m%20One%21

I never really understood what that saying meant, but I’m beginning to comprehend now. Sammy celebrated his first birthday in style yesterday with lots of friends. At Sam’s request, we acquired a Sesame Street-themed cake for the adults, and a frosting-filled ‘smash cake’ for his personal enjoyment. He wasn’t that interested in eating it, but did seem to get into the textures of frosting and cake-filled hands. A grand time was had by all. Here is the photo gallery.

Kangaroos First Brithday

 CRW_8554

The Grant Park Kangaroos Playgroup gathered at Chez Trotz this past week to celebrate the first birthdays for Sam, Henry and Shoshana. Photos are all by Amy (and they’re great!). Click here to check out the gallery. Check here shortly for more pics from Sam’s first birthday that we’re celebrating today! Amazing to think it was one year ago today that our little guy came into our lives.
