family news update

To all our family and friends, we wish you a happy new year!

My 2nd resolution for the new year is to NOT post a birthday blog for every person in our family. Instead I am returning to the monthly family "news" format. So if you send us a card, letter, or email - even a phone call will do - with news, baby announcements, birthdays, anniversaries, awards, prayer requests, etc., then I will try to include it in the blog.

For January, we have a lot of birthdays to celebrate. Some are on my side of the family - the Franklins - and the others from my wife's side - the Baggetts (hence the name "franklybaggs.blog")

Happy birthday this month to:

Robbie Blackstock . . . Jan 3rd
Colin Baggett . . . . . . . Jan 8th
Pam Baggett . . . . . . . . Jan 11th
Noel Baggett . . . . . . . . Jan 29th
Tyler Huston. . . . . . . . . Jan 29th
Catie Baggett . . . .. . . . . . Jan 31st
Cindy Franklin . . . . . . Jan 31st
Philip Logan . . . . . . . . Jan 31st

OTHER NEWS>>>Our niece, Brandy McDonald, sent an update about her son Noel who was very sick. The test results were salmonella and nothing worse, but keep praying for his recovery>>>Josh had to spend New Year's Eve watching the ball drop at the ER. He has bronchitis and would appreciate your prayers also >>>Stephen, Leah, Natalie and Meredith came to visit on Dec 23rd and left Tuesday to drive back to Wisconsin. They arrived home about 4pm on Wednesday.>>>I could not rub it in about our warm weather though, because it disappeared when they left. It was 15 degrees the last two mornings here in GA! I think if it's going to be that cold it ought to at least snow a little bit!>>>We enjoyed having Brandon and Rachel visit for the weekend, too, but they had to head back to Jax on New Year's night. >>>Cindy went to her job interview and workshop for Gwinnett County Schools today, so in about two weeks she will be able to start substitute teaching. This is another answer to prayer! >>>
