What just happened?

Well, I'm going to let the pictures do most of the talking, but they can't tell how thankful we are to have such loving families. Here's a brief recap:

My parents (G&G H) spent last week in Asheville, entertaining Deacon and making us food for the next month. By Friday both clans were in town (we missed ya Lombardis & Bertrums!!). Saturday was Deacon's Welcoming Ceremony (or Baptism) and reception, followed by naps and then disc golf for the guys and the pool for ladies and babies. On Sunday we said goodbye to G&G H, Aunt "The Reader" Amy, and the Huffs, but had dinner with Unkie "The Godfather" Josh, Aunt "The Godmother" Jenn, and Weezie, Papa and Aunt Linda. We couldn't have planned a more perfect weekend!

Thanks to everyone who came and helped us make a meaningful and memorable event and to everyone who was thinking of us this past Saturday for Deacon's ceremony!

If you have any pictures we'd love to see them!

Oh, and if you've been wondering about the Beer? Yeah, it's good.

One last thing: Deacon's walking now.

Rack 'em up

"Racking" is brewing jargon for siphoning your brew from your primary fermenter to a secondary fermenter. Aside from avoiding prolonged contact with spent yeast, racking gave me the opportunity to dry hop my two hearted clone. This is my first dry hop, so I'm pretty excited. Just two more weeks!
