Duped by a Three Year Old
Saturday afternoon we took the kids to the YMCA for a swim in the pool. Piper wanted to swim with me, Dad, in the big pool while Mom and Quinn swam in the baby pool. Piper can’t actually swim, yet, but she is close. She is not afraid to jump in, hold onto floaties and kick by herself, put her head under water, etc. Piper’s favorite activity was to kick while holding onto two floaties that looked like dumbbells. She can go the length of an Olympic sized pool, but she did not like her Dad being too close because she wanted to do it by her self. Keep in mind there was no shallow end and she can’t swim without some type of assistance. Throughout the afternoon Piper kept trying new and more daring moves such as using only one dumbbell instead of two or using no dumbbells. This made her Dad nervous because remember, she can’t swim.
At one point Piper got out of the pool and had a great idea. She asked me to swim from one end of the pool to the other under water. She eagerly ran to sit in the bleachers to watch. I have to admit that I felt a bit of pride well up seeing how my daughter wanted me to perform a test of endurance. I knew I would be up for the challenge. I swam to one end, took a deep breath and dove in. I made it half way and then came up for air. When I looked to the bleachers to wave to Piper, who I assumed would be beaming with pride, she was not there. She was getting into the pool from where I just came. Her quick little moves and funny grin told me that I had just been duped.
By the time I made it to her I was no longer angry, but almost impressed that she could pull that off. I told her not to trick me again and also warned her about the dangers of swimming alone. I also quietly warned myself not to fall for such schemes in the future because I fear more is to come.

Here's a recent picture of Liam. Do you think he wants to start walking? I have a feeling Patrick and Alicia will be chasing him around sometime real soon.

Jeff & Alyse's Wedding
Jeff & Alyse's wedding was spectacular, beautiful and a total blast! Austin treated us to gorgeous weather - a perfect evening for an outdoor wedding and reception. It was so great to see those of you who were able to make the trip and we missed those who were not able to celebrate with us. Just so you know, all the aunts and uncles can still tear it up on the dance floor!
Check my blog for more pictures! I'm sure Heidi & Kate will have a few on their blogs as well.
Love to you all!

2 New Additions!!!
Hello Family...
I would like to let everyone know about 2 new additions to the family...Henry Manning Mohr and Jameson William Layton.
Josh and Lindsay welcomed Henry into their family on October 11th via C-Section. He was a big boy at 8 lbs 12 oz and 20 and 3/4 inches long. At his 2 week check up he weighed in at a whopping 9 lbs 13 oz and measured in at 22 inches long!!
Bill and Tracy welcomed Jameson into their family on October 12th. He weighed in at 7 lbs and 9 oz (still a big boy considering he was 2 weeks early!!!) and was 19 and 1/2 inches long. Nolan is a great big brother, he loves his baby brother a lot!!
Both families are doing great...can't wait to hear about the next new addition to the family (any day now Erin!!!).
Love to everyone,

Baby McCroskey
One week or less until Baby McCroskey will be welcomed into this world! I'm flying home on Halloween and am hoping to be there for the birth. I've missed both nephews being born and I hope to make at least one! Because life is all about me! Right?!
If Erin hasn't had the baby by Thursday, November 1st, she's going to be induced. Hang in there Erin! I know you feel like you're about to pop.
Can't wait for a new little niece or nephew! Dad and Auntie think it's a girl. They're usually right. We'll see!
So keep Erin, Chris, Connor and the soon-to-be-born baby in your prayers!

It's Official
It's official. I'm divorced. Thank you for all the love and support you have all offered these past few years. Family is definitely a strong connection and you all are wonderful! Again, thanks for the love.
School is going well. I'm really enjoying this year and my students, though frustrating at times, are really great kids. My peers are awesome not only as teachers but also as friends. My administration is a great leadership board who care about the KIDS and their TEACHERS. While that includes test scores, it's not all about test scores.
Mary Kay is going to pick up. I'm going to make it pick up. I'm ready to see some positive things come from this company for me, and I'm going to make that happen. Need a makeover? Facial? New products? I'm your gal.
So here I am. Officially single again and honestly happy about it. It's not easy, but it's getting better all the time. Yay for the Beatles. =)

Updates, anyone?
Hmmm.... this thing hasn't been written on in awhile...
SURGERY: For those who didn't know I had sinus surgery last week to help rid me of my once-every-other-month sinus infections that I've had for eons now. Recovery's going well - the splints are out, the stitch (yes, 1 stitch) is out, and next week I get to have them suck the rest of my sinuses out. HAHAHA I can already feel a positive difference though!
FRIEND'S WEDDING: If you ever get the chance, attend a traditional Hindu wedding ceremony. One of my best friends from college married an Indian man a couple of weeks ago and it was amazing! Beautiful ceremony, and his family could give us Lindsay's a run for out money as to who can stay out on the dance floor longest!
BRIDGE: For those of you who haven't read Heidi's blog, she, Stacy, Taylor, and all our other family and friends in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area are all OK after the bridge collapse. Lots of crazy stories about people going over the bridge 30 mins. prior to, or being pulled over before they hit the bridge around 6:00 (when it fell), but all are well.
YOUR TURN! What's going on in the lives of the rest of our family??? =)
