Grandparents Day, More Back-to-School Pix, the ILLINI, and the Knot

More back-to-school photos.  Georgie and Caelin went back to school in Virginia Beach.  Kenna had her first day of Pre-K in Roselle.

First Soccer Game for Deven and Kenna, and Grandparents Day was observed at Claire's school, Lincoln Trail.

We missed the ILLINI's first game this season, but we were able to make their second game against the Hilltoppers of Western Kentucky.  ILLINI defeated the Hilltoppers 42-34.  It was also Band Day.  Many high school marching bands from throughout the state were represented at half time with a cast of 2000.  Check out the Marching ILLINI Facebook page for great videos: https://www.facebook.com/MarchingIllini

Claire and Mrs. Lager - I don't know where they get these beautiful, young teachers.  When I was in school, they were old, ugly, and mean!
