• 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.

Us right now.

This was taken on Monday, Christmas Eve, before my world changed. Thank you for all the sweet words of encouragement and prayers sent our way. We are doing great and my grandmother "Meme" is amazing. Thank you friends.

Mankins…sorry to hear about your loss…I hope you are able to remember him well this week as you go through all the preparations to honor his life here on earth. He looks like he was a kick in the pants, and I can only imagine the stories he could tell.
much love to you both from the west coast!

We discovered this amazing concoction at Disney in November. I have exercised great restraint and have managed to make mine last. Absolutely amazing chocolate and peppermint. You can tell that a love for peppermint runs in the family.
