Mallory started 2nd grade this past Wednesday and I am amazed what a mature little girl she has become. She has definitely grown taller but she has also grown to be so much more mature. She has developed a wonderful relationship with Christ and I just love her heart. I can not believe that my little girl is a 2nd grader and about to be 7 years old!
Just makes me want to cry!
We absolutely love Mallory's teacher. Her name is Mrs. Lawrence. She and her husband are both graduates of the Birmingham Masters Commission and now are senior pastors at Church on the Rock in Calera. I think that it is going to be a great year of growth for Mallory. (not that she needs to grow anymore) She has really been growing in her relationship with God and I can not wait to see what the year has in store for her. Another cool little note about her year: The kids are in uniforms. And of course, Mallory is just a go with the flow kind of person so she was excited about it. She looked so cute!
The summer has been fun but we were all ready for the change and getting back to school. Most importantly, we are ready for fall and a break from the heat. Mallory spent most of the summer with her grandmother aka Big Momma. She loved being with her and I was really glad that Mallory was able to spend time with her and learn from someone older and wiser. This was also the summer for a few firsts. Mallory went to summer camp with the church for the 1st time and absolutely LOVED it. She had a blast! She also learned to swim without floats! A little late, but we are not around a swimming pool enough to really work on it. All in all, a good HOTTT summer but ready for the season of change.
