It was time for the dads to attend the monthly Saturday installment of the Grant Park Kangaroos playgroup, held at Joanna, Scott and Amelia’s home. In the photo above (a composite of three separate images), all the kids gather on the couch at the same time. More pictures in the photo gallery above.
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.

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.

The entire family is now safely back in pollen-filled Atlanta, GA after a week in sometimes-sunny, but mostly-chilly Florida. I had a conference in St. Pete Beach with Solbright last Wednesday through Friday, then we headed down to Sarasota for quality time with Sam’s grandparents. Sam had a great time at his first business conference, networking like a pro. For a couple of days, we mostly hung out and relaxed at home, which is exactly what I needed. We explored the beautiful Marie Selby Botanical Gardens while Sam was taking a nap one day (hoorah for macro lenses), and as you can see above, took Sam to the beach for the very first time. He absolutely LOVED it. I continue to be amazed by our little guy – he’s babling and talking more than ever before, and surprised the heck out of dear old dad when we were flying home. I was trying to coax him to take a nap and we were putting his blanket over our heads. All on his own, he started playing peek-a-boo with me, pulling the blanket over his head and then back down, cackling like a little crazy boy when he’d show his face. Cute, cute, cute!
