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,
Lindsay

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. =)

New babies.....

I hear there are some new babies in the family! I think someone should post pictures and introduce the new little guys. Anyone check this blog anymore?

Well, hope everyone's doing well. And Erin, I hope your new little one comes soon and is a happy, healthy baby too!

Congrats to Jessie!

Who just completed the Chicago Half-Marathon!!!! Yesterday morning she awoke bright and early to run 13.1 miles! That girl is crazy! She was alive and well when I saw her that afternoon. She's A-Mazing!

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??? =)

What's New?

Everyone needs to update their blogs. You're killing me here! Or at least update this one. Kudos to Kate for being the most frequent updater. Did anyone forget how to login so they can share pictures and wonderful updates with the family? Let me know and I'll help you along.

As for me, I will be performing in a 10 minute play this Monday night. I get to play a college-aged girl (aw, youth!) and reveal to my best friend, Don, that I have feelings for him. I play a total dork...you know, type casting. Actually, I don't play a dork. I play a nerd. Well, not a nerd. An outcast. Maybe not an outcast. More like a socially awkward person unless I'm with my best friend. So yes, type casting!

Friend Update

THANK YOU for your prayers! Renee's surgery was completed today and as far as anyone can tell was 100% successful. I appreciate all your support - I'll let you know if anything else pops up. THANK YOU!!!

Prayer Request

Hey there, fam! I wanted to request your prayers for my friend Renee in Minnesota. She's in the hospital right now awaiting news on whether or not she'll be having brain surgery Friday. They've discovered what they think is an abnormal blood vessel in her brain that has begun leaking. They're double-checking that tomorrow and then will most likely proceed with the surgery Friday. Just lots of prayers please that she'll feel better and the doctors will be able to fix the blood vessel, let alone that all goes well. Thanks!

Toy? What Toy?

I had to share this with you all because it made me laugh SO HARD. And the fact that Coda stood still long enough for me to get the camera, take pictures, and STILL try to get her to pay attention to what's on her head. Note: On her head is one of her toys, no longer filled with stuffing as she had pulled all of that out long ago. Why is it on her head? I was trying to distract her from trying to find the laser pointer light as mom (aka me) had had enough of that game. Coda didn't care, and doesn't care so long as she's focused on "the light". =)

Katy's in the Paper!

Yes, my face can be seen in the June 8, 2007 issue of the Daily Herald, a Chicago suburb newspaper. I couldn't believe the size of our picture! I've included scanned photos of the paper for your viewing pleasure. My favorite part is where the journalist describes me as "very slender." I about passed out from sheer delight. She can say whatever she wants about me after that comment. And I'll overlook the fact that she said "Orender stumbled frequently over her lines." Come on! It was one scene and I somehow made it through! But she did say I was "very slender." She is forgiven. But again, I must bring up that one of my characters stumbles over lines on purpose! Maybe I'm too good of an actress. Yes, that must be it.

And the show got two stars. She told Paul that she actually gave us two and a half stars. How generous.

You can also amuse yourself with the local happenings in the suburb area. I left the surrounding articles and advertisements in the scanned photos so you wouldn't think I completely made this up myself.
