Superstorm Sandy's Silver Linings

Tomorrow, July 4th, Americans (and yes even those who  are not yet technically Americans) will celebrate with backyard BBQs, a crisp, clean cold beer and late night fireworks.  Hopefully, everyone will be watching the show in NYC or a local town fireworks display.   Home firework displays are dangerous and unlawful.

Families will get together once again after a month of graduations, proms, birthdays and father's day dinners to celebrate our independence.  If your family is also welcoming a new bundle of joy this month - we know what you were doing in the cold days after Superstorm Sandy!  Will you name your new baby - Sandy as a reminder of those long cold nights after the storm.  It's brilliant that all these new babies will be born during the bright and beautiful summer months in New Jersey.  If you are one of the 40% of families who have a slight doubt about the paternity of your child, don't be shy and don't wait until it is too late.  Set up your private, affordable Paternity Test so that by the next family celebration - everyone will welcome the new baby with open arms (and perhaps a gift).
