The fruits of my labors. Last week, I finished a mandatory one week aging of the Pale Ale that I brewed two weeks prior. Not bad... I may have either not added enough priming sugar or the beer may not have had a long enough time to carbonate. In any case, the first beer that I tried was a little flat. The next ones after have been better and more mellow in taste. They were primed in the tub in the spare bathroom and may not have had enough warmth for the yeast to fully carbonate the beer.... or it may have been the caps.... but its still beer!

The boy has gotten to the ripe old age of five weeks as of last week and has had his first real bathtub bath. No more sponge baths for him now that his umbilical cord stump has fallen off.









All is well in Walter's world.
He finds plenty to both laugh and cry about, but his new Soccer Champ jersey put him in a good mood.









His grandmoms have come to visit and even his great uncle or "Gruncle" Jim and Kathy too.
Everything seems a little too large for him. He isn't small in the least and even now after just 5 weeks seems to have been growing like the proverbial weed.
