Updated Standings
You just can't count on those Badgers! The Wolverines managed to pull out a victory but Penn State delivered as promised. An Illinois team resides at the bottom of the standings and it feels good to see it's the Illini!

I'll be sure to update the post after Michigan and Illinois lose!

NU vs Ohio
While the Wildcats didn't play their best game of the year they managed to remain undefeated. The weather this week could not have been more different than last week's monsoon.
Enjoy the pictures.

Down at the Park
Hey! I found some photos on Lisa's camera that weren't previously posted. When Lisa's folks were in town we took them downtown for a picnic lunch at Millenium Park. We wandered down to Buckingham fountain... it was the first time Hank and Marge were there in 50 years.
As you can see it was a great day in Chicago.

NU vs SIU
Lesser fans would have stayed home in the comfort of their flooded basements. We ventured out into the eye of the storm.
The pancakes and the sausage 'McMuffins' were a hit. The bloody marys didn't hurt the cause. Overall the tailgate was a success.
On the way to Evanston Lisa said, 'they better win this game or I'll be pissed.' The Wildcats delivered.
As for our commute home, luckily it only required two portages.

Tuesday Night is Boy's Night
Stock up on the frozen pizza!
Today (tonight) marks the beginning of yet another academic chapter in Lisa's life. For some reason (actually several) she's decided to pursue a doctoral degree and tonight is the first night along that pathway.
There are two words that I didn't ever expect to string together - Doctor Janezic.

Kudos to Lisa.

2008 Labor Day Party
This day could have been properly named 'pass the baby' day. Austin didn't complain too much about all of the attention but I do believe that Jingle felt a little left out. Once again the Janezic home successfully entertained the masses and somehow there aren't any leftovers... again!
See you all on Thanksgiving.

Fourth Grade
The boys were off to school for the first day for the fifth time.
This year they had to line up at the back of the school. Apparently once you're big enough to be in fourth grade you're big enough to scare the kindergärtners!
Good luck boys with another year of exploration and education.

2008 Camp Edwards - Pick Up Day
The boys are back home after a full week at camp.
As for how their week went....
No cuts.
A few bug bites.
A couple of girl's phone numbers.
Tons of great memories.
The boys are already asking about next year.

When the kids are away...
The parents went out and played. Lisa and I hit the links for a day of R&R. While any day on the golf course is better than a day at the office our round at Oak Grove Golf Course in Harvard seriously challenged that mantra. www.oakgrovegolfcourse.com
We've agreed to not add up the scores for the round and move on to dinner at Le Petite Creperie in Woodstock to ensure that we remember this day fondly. Crepes and wine make most things just fine. www.lapetitecreperie.net

We dropped the boys off at camp today. Boy were they surprised to find out that we were dropping them off for an entire month!
As long as the mosquitoes don't carry them off they're sure to have a great time. In the mean time I hope they enjoy the bug juice. For more information where and how the boys will be spending their days, visit the website at http://www.campedwards.org/ .

A Diamond by Any Other Name
Is just not Neil. Lisa and I celebrated a night of feeling young again. This is not because we were lifted from our seats and dancing in the aisles, but rather because we were young compared to the rest of the audience.
How do we know we weren't like the rest of the audience:
1. Jack was not wearing Aqua Velva.
2. Lisa did not wear a crocheted tank top.
3. No $35 dollar concert shirts or $20 large font program for us... we spent our hard earned cash on alcohol.
4. We walked the stairs (in both directions!) to our seats... no Rascal queue at the elevator for us.
5. We needed several trips to the facilities during the two hour show. Next time we'll follow the geriatric lead and sport our Depends.

View from the tube
Because grandma didn't feel comfortable getting out on the tube I decided that video was the next best thing. Hold on!
Glen Lake
A view from on board the boat. John and Katherine logged in the most time in/on the tube. Jacob and Andrew made sure that all the provisions were safe for consumption. Luckily the boys don't like the taste of beer so at least Tim and I knew we wouldn't die from dehydration. As for Anna and Lisa they struggled to stay awake...Anna lost that battle.

Hunting for ...
While in the Gulf of Mexico the boys were on the hunt for shells and other wonders. On the coast of Michigan the boys sought the elusive rock. Who knew rock hunting could be so fun?
Land's End Catalog
The models in the recent Land's End catalog have nothing over the nautically inspired John. On a side note, the cover of this month's Land's End catalog features the instructors at the Chicago Yacht Club. Andrew and Katherine recognized their sailing instructors in the issue. At the Janezic house we're always happy that the boys' camp counselors aren't featured on Cops.
Nordic slide
The Lestingi family took to the Nordic slide at Crystal Mountain. Thrill averse Andrew nearly wore out the brakes on his downhill run. On a positive note he handled Anna's mocking like a 'real man'.
