Our dear friends Nikki and Paul were in town from Savannah this weekend, and high on their list of priorities was getting to meet Sam for the first time. Their daughter, Maddie, as well as our friend Shondra and her daughter Alondra came by to visit Saturday morning. Check out the photo gallery here.
Bikers, Beer & Babes Babies
Last weekend, our neighbors Michael & Rachel organized the annual Rosalia/Cameron Street block party. Neighbors from all over Grant Park attended the festivities, and Sam had a great time at his first post-utero musical event – a local blues band. Check out the gallery of photos here.
Have a Baby, Get a TiVO
Now they tell me. Parkland Hospital in Dallas (ya know, where they took JFK when he was shot) participated in a promotion with where new Mom’s received TiVOs with lifetime subscriptions (around a $500 value) as a marketing effort to reach busy mothers. Parkland is reportedly one of the busiest maternity wards in the country at 40 births per day, but I think Atlanta’s own Northside Hospital might give them a run for their money. Trouble is, the TiVO certificates were only in English (Parkland has a high percentage of Hispanic patients) and many recipients had no idea what a TiVO does. Too bad they didn’t do this at Piedmont a few weeks ago, or we could have given birth to TiVO Trotz in the company’s honor. Article at Dallasnews.com (registration required).

More Sam Gallery Updates
Yes, it’s 3:50 a.m. and I’m blogging. I got the 2:45 feeding this morning, and decided to take advantage of a few moments and get some new photos of littlest Sam up on the web. Please take a gander at these – he’s such a cutie, I can barely stand it!
