This weekend we went to NJ for a special Jewish celebration called a pidyon ha ben. This is a ceremony where we had to decide whether or not we should redeem Gaius from a life serving as a priest within the community. To redeem him, we had to pay $5; I fought Brad to give him away, but in the end, we of course decided to keep him! Anyway, it was a grand party (thanks mom and dad!) and we had a great time. Here are some pics:

Happy Momma, crying baby!
The HUGE spread! My mom was putting away extra food for an hour when we got home!
Jen and I went to a cookout at my sister Sue's house in NH this past weekend to celebrate the Christening of her daughter, Delaney.
There were babies and children everywhere! I think we've officially reached that stage in life where almost everyone you know has kids. Goodbye old life...
Some new pictures for you.
