• 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.

weekend of FUN

My mother was here visiting for the weekend and WOW did we get a LOT accomplished!
It all started with curtains for the nursery. We ran around getting fabric, trim, and outblack to line them. Oh and let’s not forget the cute hardware for hanging!!

While we were running around we stumbled upon a mirror for over my dresser, a table and wall hanging for the nursery-and a DARLING lamp, also for the nursery. And we picked up the rocker and it’s now in it’s new home too.

The crib bedding is also finished–FINALLY!!!! Here is an up close view of the bumper–I know, not all people think these are a good idea.

It’s so close to being finished!! We just need the bookcase (yet to be built) a mattress, and a beautiful print back from the framers–then we can hang the ledges and picture frames and be FINISHED!!

A cute smiley kind of movie–not too serious, several laughs and even a few quotable lines.
