O-H-I-O !!!!!!

While Jenny and Alex were enjoying the battleship, Charlie and I hung out at home and watched THE OSU - um game. Jenny, after much thought and consideration (a LOT of thought and consideration went into this...), trusted me with Charlie on this exciting yet stressful night. I put Charlie in the baby carrier and walked/paced around the house for the entire game. We had a great time (once the game was over!) and we screamed/yelled/cheered with every play. Most importantly, Charlie (and Ben and Tommy too!) have never known defeat in their first year of life. We're hoping the streak will continue Jan 8th in Glendale, AZ.

Earlier in the day Alex and I went to the Delaware-Villanova game, both displaying our OSU colors (much to my delight, Alex had his on first thing in the morning, without any parental reminder!) We also put Brutus up in the yard (I needed to keep an eye on him throughout the night due to some misguided um fans in the nieghborhood...) We walked proudly through the Delaware campus and tailgated with neighbors. (Delaware, somewhat ironically, has football uniforms/helmets that are nearly identical to um's.)

The pictures below are of the three Westphal men right before Alex and Jenny left, and of Charlie and I Sun. morning both recovering from the evening before.
