Illini Baseball vs. Ohio State—21 April 2012</b>
Because his chosen activities require long rehearsals, we don’t actually spend much time with NOS during parents’ weekends. Luckily, as alums, we’re fully capable of entertaining ourselves. Part of our festivities: taking in an Illini Baseball game, as we so enjoyed when I was pregnant with NOS. [Illinois beat Ohio State 8-3.]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Photo-of-the-Week/2012-Photos-of-the-Week/i-wCrPXRT/0/01c0adb9/Ti/U%20of%20I%202012%2004%2021-0262-Ti.jpg)
