A few snapshots to remember...

Mallory and I are so grateful for Grandma and Grandpa here in Texas.  I know I say it all the time, but truly, I can't say it enough.  What their support has meant to me, Charles and Mallory is just beyond words.  I know that Charles sleeps so much better at night knowing that I have help with Mallory, a safe roof over our heads and an incredible and unconditional support system.

Here are just a few pics we took in early July.  My mother is really good at taking the opportunities of us all being dressed up for church to get family pictures.  I am so grateful for all of these snapshots.... I will have so many happy memories of this year to look back on- even though Charles is miles away.

Mallory has really started to be a goof in pictures.  It is harder and harder for her to sit still and/or look in the direction of the camera.  We just keep snapping an snapping hoping one will be decent.

Mallory would NOT cooperate with us for the picture- I think we took 5 of these!

My parents have been married for over 46 years...

....and they are still so in love!  (Mallory calls this "true love's kiss")
