Our First Visitor

We've been hangin' out with THIS guy all week.



We've spent our time with Dave just sitting

around the house, eating and chatting about life.

We asked Dave what he wanted to see while he was here in Texas.

He replied that he didn't come here to see anything.

He came here to see us.

We love him!

The littles have been rocking his world.

They love Uncle Dave.

He leaves tomorrow.

But I'm sure we'll all belligerently beg him to stay forever.



Home Improvements

We've been spending our days busily repairing our new abode.  Honestly, the work has been done soley by Mr. Foy (I'm occupied cleaning poop diapers and making peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, remember).

Here are some shots of Mr. Foy painting the outside. 

She was a drab gray and we spruced her up with a fresh, minty, earthy green and a warm chocolate brown.

*side note- having a painter for a husband (or a husband as a painter) comes in handy. Up next, Mr. Foy gets to refinish the kitchen and laundry room cabinets.

He can hardly wait ;)

Before & After

Laundromat

I've fallen in Love...with the laundromat.

The laundromat is the magical place where a

mama like me (with a house FULL of dirty clothes)

can get them all clean at ONCE!

12 loads = 1 washatopia experience

My sweet little washer and dryer cannot keep up on the demands.

Washatopia is like Disneyland for this weary mama.



*forgive this phone pic*



Every once in a while I drop the Littles off with the Gigi and

drag Mr. Foy along for a hot date...at the laundromat.



A perfect afternoon at the Washatopia. It was Freezing that day as we enjoyed warm beverages, big screen tv's and good conversation...all while every article of Foy clothing is given another chance.



Lake Georgetown

I felt like a family nature walk was about due. So, last Saturday we went down the street to Lake Georgetown.  Yes, this beautiful lake is just down the road and we had yet to explore it.

I imagined the Littles frolicking along the trail, finding bugs and soaking up the spirit of exploration.  But, I must've lost my mind because it didn't go down like that at all.
Instead, all 3 girl whimpered, cried and even balled ginormous tears as we tortured them with nature and exercise. 

Dave and I still had a great time. This spot is so beautiful and offers such a great trail that even toddler tantrums cannot corrupt.

What about Nathan? Well, let's just say we don't call him "Nate the Great" for nothin'.

Snow Day...yup, Texas Snow!
