UNASHAMED

At the young age of 2 weeks and 2 days old, Mary Lee Guice made her first debut at UnAshamed! For those of you who do not know what UnAshamed is, it is a ministry for college students in Tuscaloosa. Griffin's brothers, Taylor and Tyler, help run UnAshamed. Each week, hundreds of college students gather together to worship, hear the Word, and spread the gospel! Griffin and I are so proud of Tay and Ty and the way God is using them to touch lives in Tuscaloosa and around the world! Tyler spoke this week at UnAshamed, and he used Mary Lee in his message. He talked about the love of the Father and how if we will let God hold us in his arms, he will never leave us, nor forsake us...He will never let go of us...He will never stop loving us. In other words, just like an infant trusts us to take care of them, hold them, love them, etc...we should trust God to do the same! WOW! What a powerful message! Before we took Mary Lee to Tyler on stage, Griffin and I prayed over her...we prayed that God would use her at such a young age to touch lives just like we hope He does as she grows up! We also prayed that she would not wake up screaming on stage :-)! Our prayers were heard and answered because Mary Lee did touch lives and she did not cry or scream on stage! We are so proud of our baby girl!

Mary Lee gets the hiccups A LOT!! Check out this sweet video of her with the hiccups!


I also posted a new entry below.

Quick Update on Mary Lee



Mary Lee has brought so much joy to our lives in just the almost 2 short weeks she has been with us! Griffin and I just cannot get enough of our baby girl! She is so amazingly beautiful and such a good baby! She would be an even better baby if she slept better at night :-)! Oh well, Amy keeps telling me that the sleep/schedule will come with time. I am holding onto that right now during our sleepless nights!



Speaking of Amy, she brought lunch over Friday...a much needed good lunch! It was kind of strange with us both trying to eat lunch and taking care of our daughters! It is hard to believe we have been best friends for sooooo long and now we both have little girls...such a blessing! I look forward to our little girls growing up together!


Mary Lee loves her swing! She often even sleeps in it at night (Probably not the best habit to form, but some nights we will put her anywhere just to get some SLEEP!)

Mary Lee has arrived!


I obviously have not had much time to update the Blog since Mary Lee was born. She was born Tuesday, September 29, 2009, at 7:36 a.m. She weighed 7 lbs 7 oz and was 20 inches long. She is just absolutely beautiful! Griffin and I often just stare at her and say, "Where did she come from?" She is just perfect! I will write more about her later but wanted to at least post a few pictures! Enjoy!
