I can't believe I have another daughter that is passing through her childhood so quickly! My precious little 17 year old was not so little when she was born.
I think I get some bragging rights for this child. If you are used to looking at newborns then you will realize she was slightly larger than the average child. Can you tell by her daddy's face how worn out we were delivering this baby girl? She was....wait for it....wait for it.....it's a shocker...

11 lbs. 9 oz.
She stayed in the top 97% in her size for 3 years. I would say her sweetness was right up there with her size. She was quiet and always content then and now!
Here is my servant hearted little girl who continues to love the extra additions to our family! Here she is welcoming baby #6 her 4th baby to hold. You can see the gentleness she portrays.
Loving on another sibling. She was always my one to hold me to order. Constantly reminding the kids and me what the rules are...not very forgiving when mom would change the rules. I had to learn to tell her that I was going to change the rules before she had 1/2 the family in tears! She organized things by color and shapes and kept things in a straight line. (even us) Dependable is her middle name!


She is a friend to many! I have never seen her reject a soul. She will always be the one to lovingly be there when no one else is around. When offended or hurt she sees Gods plan and tends to see things from someone elses perspective. Hard to get angry with friends, family or others when you understand...another quality that makes her MalPal!


I couldn't resist putting her goofy side up!


This has to be one of my proudest moments as a home school mom. Not sure why because I can take no credit for her talent. We were homeschooling and I couldn't afford to have the girls in dance, gymnastics, art, or drama. So what do you do? You do what you can. Looking through Mardel's I noticed an art book for $1.49. Knowing how much she enjoyed coloring I thought this might be an extra activity she might enjoy with her other school subjects. Little did I know that little purchase would reveal a hidden talent. I can't remember her exact age but I think around 8 she was learning all about perspective, shades, and shapes (All on her own! Teach a child to read and the world is theirs!) Below are some sketches she has done. There have been no art classes, just a book, pencil, paper, time, and a God given talent.
This was from a year or two ago.
Below is one of her first faces she has drawn...I am amazed!

I can't imagine what life would be like without my girl! It was a rough beginning (mastitis) but an amazing ride over the years. Watching this clumsy girl who can fall out of a chair, trip up the stairs, or walk into a wall and laugh at herself. Seeing a young girl whose penmanship had a lot to be desired but can draw with amazing skill. Learning the deep desires of this young woman to be all God wants her to be and watching her follow Him with her whole heart no matter what the circumstances (even when He walks us out of our comfort zone) is a JOY.
I am a blessed mom who has yet another child I want to be like! I can take no credit other than allowing God to make me a mother! I love my girls and I love how they love life!

My little/big girl is growing up and I am overjoyed at the woman she IS!
Happy Birthday Mallory!
