Last weekend my immediate family, minus one sister (sad face), met for a family rendezvous at my parents' house in New Jersey.� We spent some great quality time together, enjoyed watching baby Gus rock out in his doorway jumper, visited the (great) grandparents in PA and had a lot of fun witnessing the two goobers interact (especially in the bath tub).� Emmett had a bit of a cold (which translated to a couple of family members), but other than that, it was a successful trip.� Check out some of the visual highlights below, including a pretty awesome video of Gus gnawing on Emmett (with a surprise ending)...

I'm looking forward to the next time Gus and Emmett get together.� Gus will probably be Emmett's current age, and Emmett will be 19 months.

Last weekend was awesome, to say the least.� It was James' 22nd birthday, my parents came up from New Jersey to visit and we finally decided on a new apartment.� Good thing, because I don't know how much more Craig's List surfing I could stand.

It was really nice having my parents around.� Needless to say, Em got quite a lot of attention.� And, lucky for my parents, they didn't have to change one stinky diaper all weekend (which actually worried us more than it made us happy).� James and I were even able to go on a date for his birthday.� I took him to a sports bar for some pre-dinner drinks and to watch some Sox and Celtics, and then we headed to the Beehive for a late meal and some live jazz.
