Baby Mallory

Our first grandchild has arrived!
A precious little girl:

Mallory Emeryl Paige
November 30, 2010
8 lbs, 1 oz.
21 inches long

Peaceful, wise, aware and strong,
She has captured our hearts from the moment of her birth.

 She is named after her great-great grandmother, Faye Emeryl Mallory (also born in November and just celebrated her 80th birthday!)  as well as her mother, Mariah Emeryl Ruth.
Her father chose Paige as his special name for her.

 She has her momma's dimples...I hope to capture them on film soon.

 

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting; 
The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
          Hath had elsewhere its setting
               And cometh from afar;
          Not in entire forgetfulness,
          And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come 
               From God, who is our home:
Heaven lies about us in our infancy! 

~William Wordsworth
