• 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.

She is having so much fun here with Nonnie and Poppy. She giggles and laughs and I have help responding to her with wit and grace. I am so thankful we can come here easily ad hang out while Ben is working so hard.

Nonnie lets her play “it’s a small world” on her mac over and over. I think we have heard it about 1000 times.

She LOVES the stroller. She takes all the plush animals and characters for a “push.”

Aren’t Grandparents the absolute best? She looks like she is having so much fun and I know it is a relief to your soul to have others nearby. These pictures are stunning in so many ways…especially the joy that is evident in Mallory’s eyes.

These pictures make me happy. Just looking at them is enough to make me feel the breeze blowing, and hear her giggles. Nothing is sweeter…

Hanging out by Nonnie & Poppy’s pool enjoying a beautiful Saturday morning. It doesn’t get any better than summer camp at the grandparent’s.

after dinner

While Mimi Deloris was here, we took a walk after dinner one night. The tricycle is always a big hit. We can distract her from anything by mentioning the tricycle! We wandered down the street and ended up in our friends’ backyard. (don’t worry we took great care of your swing while you were out of town :))

On the way back home, we found some other friends playing outside and stopped to ride their cool red car. Thanks for sharing Luke!
