DECLAN KEVIN FOY

This morning at 3:01AM, Declan Kevin Foy, 8lb 8oz was born! Yeah!!! Congratulations Katie, Pat, and Paddy! Another Foy is here! All are doing great....

I hope I have the time and weight right - it was around 4AM that Katie and Pat called. They first called around 9pm (we were the Elmhurst College Mill Theater seeing "The Dining Room") to say they were on their way to the hospital.

Declan is a Gaelic name....he too preached Chrisitanity in Ireland and became a saint... but preceded the famous Patrick and obviously didn't get the same PR coverage....

I is hazing a joke to tell!

I sent this joke to Katie today so it might have already made its way around the family but Erik said I should post it anyway.

Q--What is Irish and sits outside all night long?

A--Paddy O'Furniture

HAHA-- happy St. Paddy's day!

Oh yes and please say hello to Paddy the Shamrock--

WAIT!!! SHE'S MY MOMMY!!!!.....too.

Hopefully this will NOT be the reaction when the new Baby Foy arrives on the scene.

PHOTO POSING GRANDKIDS

OK, I have 600+ pictures of our vacation in Florida - only 2 with everyone in which I appear to be pregnant, (which would perhaps qualify me for the Guiness Book of World Records), but I'm actually just a rather thick around the middle, big bellied, 61 year old - so I'm NOT posting either one of those pictures - but will post a few of the many we took trying to get all 5 grandkids to pose for a group photo.

Spring!? It's 60 degrees today!

I know it's not spring yet - but it sure would be nice to see some colors besides brown and grey with lots of debris flying around.

Hey Dorsa! I have 50+ corks for you. Bob said you needed them.

Snow Day for Richmond

It snowed in Richmond! I know crazy, seeing as how it hardly ever snows down south. But classes being cancelled was a plus. So while the McCoyd's and my mom are enjoying the nice summery weather, I'm here being blasted with powder and ice. Isn't nature funny! (BTW these awesome pics are from the amazing camera i got for x-mas from the family)
