Day 4 OR Where The Crap Did We Put The Gold Bond?

It's become somewhat of a tradition to see the Kessick children right after they're born... fresh out the oven, if you will. We rolled into Hudson OH yesterday and were immediately received by a chubby little nugget by the name of Charis Kessick. Here's Chandler getting her maternal instinct on with the proud momma:




Meanwhile, Kess and I got our man on and moved furniture:




...and just for fun, here's a picture of me holding a dead rattlesnake on a tray:




After these assorted shenanigans, we crossed the expanse of OH (the heart of it all). It was Chandler's first time in the midwest and she could barely contain her excitement, at one point even shouting, "I have to pee soon. Do you know where we put the granola?" with glee.

Last night we played poker with the Murphy's at their friend's place in Mason OH. Murph was my area director in college, as well as my foosball and raquetball foe, and an all around mench of a dude. I ended up netting 4.50 in the poker game on a big hand toward the end of the contest. I promptly took a shirtless victory lap around the house screaming cursewords triumphantly.


Day 5 - A day out in the 'Nati.
