We went to IL vs Purdue game.  It was a big loss and so cold.  Volleyball team had been winning until they filled the house and lost to Wisconsin.  The Roselle Townsends visited Mason at NIU for Parents' Day.  Sampsons ran in the Chris Craig 5k.  It was Jacob's first race.  When asked if she wanted to run in the 5k race, Claire replied, "No, just get me a shirt, and I'll wait at the Finish Line."  Smart girl!! 

Duggy got sprayed by a skunk.  After several bathes, he's smelling better.

We have a wild animal in our backyard; not sure what it is.

We've seen muskrats in the drainage stream, but he appears to like acorns.

The ILLINI had another sweep against Minnesota.

They're all smiles with their attack.

Played Wisconsin to a full house and lost.

A tongue-lashing from the coach.
