Football Rivalry Day


The picture alongside today's blog is in reverence to mommy's school. Notice how the little man is dressed in yellow and blue that big 'M' on his cap. Yes, "Go Blue!" was a catchphrase at our home this past Saturday. Unfortunately, the maize and blue of the University of Michigan went down to defeat to grandma and grandpa's OSU Buckeyes. And, then daddy's school (the University of Illinois) took it on the chin from Northwestern. So, both mommy's school and daddy's school will not be in bowl games this winter (yuck!). However, daddy's "other" school (Florida State) beat Maryland and has an 8-3 record, before playing FLORIDA this next Saturday. And, that far eastern Big Ten school, where many of daddy's family has attended (yes, Penn State), is going to the Rose Bowl (go JoePa).
Everyone is doing great and we hope all of you are well!
Love,
Jack, Jodie, Connor and Shen
