• 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.

I love them too! I have a friend who absolutely hates them, though. She calls them “lobotomy bows!” Oh, and by the way, she will love her bouncy seat for a long, long time!

Ok. We all know we are biased to our own childen. And yes, when strangers stop to tell me Megan is so beautiful, I agree with delight. But Mallory is adorable. I love the bouncy seat photo. I can’t believe we have not had these girls meet. Please promise to take at least a card full of photos of Megan for me in January. These of Mallory are great. MC to you all.

Hey Amanda!!! I was just thinking about you the other day and realized I had lost touch with you. So sorry! I’m so happy to see this beautiful baby on your blog. What a girl!! She is just precious. I hope everything went well. I would love to see her in person sometime. I know you are enjoying being a Mommy. Isn’t it the best ever?
Just wanted to pop on and say hi and I’m going to try and do better about keeping in touch. You are very blessed!!!
Merry Christmas!
Tracie

In the intrest of full disclosure, today’s the day…I begin celebrating the anniversary of my 29th birthday ๐Ÿ™‚ For some reason I keep thinking about that funny/silly movie 13 Going On 30. The singing thing…that song makes me cry, not when I sing it, just when it’s directed at me.
