Northwestern 11/14/09

Morgie and I remained dedicated to the task of Illinois football tailgating while mom and little bro watched over the new addition at home. And the Illini welcomed my new daughter into the world by waiting three quarters to start playing and got it handed to them once again. No matter, as this tailgate was a blast.

Thank you all SO MUCH for coming down and sharing an absolutely perfect day with us - I really hope you can make this an annual event.

The kids had a ball on the bus. It's a little worse for wear, but I suppose that's what it's for. I just need to find a way to disconnect the damn horn.

I'm beginning to enjoy that cigar when everybody else goes into the game. At least as long as the guys in the RV across the way continue to have it on the flat screen.

Actually, its more fun when they all come back.

Well, maybe not these two.

Nothing says family fun like playing in the gravel driveway while daddy finishes "one more beer".


The perfect end to a perfect week.

Well.... we could have won the game, but I'm not greedy.
