Well, Harry's big day has come and gone, as have a multitude of family & friends. The three of us would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all of you who were able to make and also to everyone else who was certainly here in spirit (especially those who came in straight from vacation, briefly showed, but retired early due to illness)! We had an absolutely wonderful day, and it was even better that we were able to share it with you.

As Kim and I were both carried away with seeing everyone, and introducing you all to our Harry, we neglected to take nearly as many photos as we had anticipated. I'll try to get the ones we do have posted as soon as possible!

Couldn't have asked for a nicer day... Perhaps a bit more shade for the follicly challenged, but we don't want to be too picky. I hope everyone was able to enjoy the live entertainment as well. Based on the feedback we did receive, we'll assuredly plan our next gathering around the neighboring church's tent revival schedule.

A big thanks must go out to Becky & Allen for supplying some incredible homemade desserts, Kayla's stromboli, and the extra chairs... it would've been tough to sit around all afternoon & drink frozen margaritas without your help!

Speaking of which, also a big thanks and lots of free plugs for the Margarita Man (or men...Dave & Glenn) of Baltimore & Annapolis for the chilled concoctions!!! Please give them a call or check out their website if you're ever in the mood for frozen beverages in the area!!!

Thanks also to Ethel & Toni for the much-loved handmade chocolate moons & stars and Billy's brownies. Bailey seems to have gotten her paws on a portion of the candies, and has reported no ill-effects so far.

Sincere thanks to 2 of the honored guests yesterday, that while we were busy making bottles we were unable to formally recognize... Harry's "God-parents" Bryan & Anna McDermott. We hope that we didn't get you into too much trouble by keeping you from the Yates reunion in Ohio, and are so glad that you were able to make it. You have some very big shoes to fill, based on Bill & Ethel's god-parenting of Kim all these years, but there's no one else we'd rather have! Thanks so much for everything!

Finally we'd like to recognize the guests en masse. Thank you all for coming to see us, spending your weekend on our behalf, and for the warmth and positive energy to get Harry's life rolling. It's wonderful to be able to enjoy you all so much!
