January News

Hello to All! It's been a wild, crazy, and exhausting ride since my last post. Sunday after Gatlin's party, Gracie started running a fever (103!!!!), and on Wednesday, we found out she had the FLU!! Yes, I said THE FLU!!! She's good now. The bad days were only a couple and once the fever was under control and the medicine was in her system, you would honestly not know she was sick! Luckily, nobody else that we had been in contact with has gotten it!!

Today, we scheduled an appointment for Gatlin to have tubes put in his ears! :( After many recurring ear infections, they say this is the best thing I can do for him, so.... on February 19, we'll be "getting tubes." I'm a little nervous about it, but I'm sure everything will be fine. Just please remember us all in your prayers.

I hope this message finds you all having a happy & healthy 2008!!

Love to all,
Becca

It Snowed!!!!

We woke up yesterday (Saturday, January 19) morning to SNOW!!! Yes, I said SNOW... and nearly 2 inches of it!! The kids loved playing in it at first, but Gat wasn't too sure about it after a while!

Guynes Family

Hi! Welcome to our blog... I'm new at this, so it may take me a while to "keep up" with all our doings. I'll start this in 2008... with some pics from 2007! :) Today is actually Mark's 35th birthday, but unfortunately, he's at work, so we just sent our birthday wishes over the phone and plan to have a "party" for him when he gets home. I will soon to be 30...not too excited about it, but it's absolutely better than the alternative. Our Gracie is quickly approaching 5 years old and very anxious to go to "big girl school." Our Gatlin will be 1 in just a couple of days, but again we will be waiting for Daddy to celebrate. I hope you enjoy our family happenings in 2008. I'm very excited to share them with you! Lots of love, Becca
