• Here you will find the chronicles of our family of four. More pictures than words, I am most at home capturing our life with a still camera. Photos help me recognize the beauty and awesomeness in both the phenomenal people I live life alongside and this breathtaking place we live, planet earth.

    I am a child of God. I am the wife to a wonderful man, mother to two amazing little people. I am both daughter and sister. I am a runner. I love to travel and read.

    I often title this season of our life's adventure, The Continuing Adventures of Mallory Girl and Mark Boy. The photography is mine (unless otherwise noted.) Questions are always welcome. Thanks for reading and adventuring alongside us.

Alive!

We are alive and home from a week at the beach. We stayed in a little town that had LIMITED cell service (analog roam people) and our accommodations (stunning…beautiful…think Southern Living idea house) didn’t have Internet access. Basically a media free week…can you see my hives? We are back…and when I get through all the pictures and movies (yes! movies) we took, I’ll post some. It was great to go and even better to come back!

You both probably felt like you were going into shock from the lack of media, but it was probably very good for you too. We could all use a break like that every once in awhile

Mimi Deloris

We love our Mimi Deloris. She came for a visit this past weekend and Mallory (and the rest of us) had a great time. She is fun and engaging and sings silly songs and when Mallory is sleeping, even helps me with sewing projects. Here is silly breakfast time.

Mankin Cousins

This past weekend, we met up with the Mankin cousins for a celebration of (cousin/uncle) Jeff’s 40th birthday, a visit from Mimi Deloris, and it just happened to be Father’s Day. Here are all but two of the next generation Mankin cousins.

    

9 months Old

Can you see my teeth?

I am amazed that my baby is 9 months old today. The time is just flying. She is crawling (a bit) and eating lots of veggies (she doesn’t prefer fruits) and loving being around people. Thank you Lord for my Sweet Girl and her wonderful father.
