Happy Birthday Mallorye


Mommy and Mallorye on the day she was born

How is it that this little precious baby is turning 16 today? I'm nearly speechless and holding back tears, realizing how fleeting the moments are.


Daddy, Mommy, and Mallorye on her first trip across the state line to visit relatives in Tennessee...3 months old
