Happy 1st Birthday Mallory!

One year ago today, November 18, 2009 at 1:40 pm Mallory Marie Winkelmann was born. It's amazing just how much this little miracle has changed our lives forever. A year ago she tipped the scales weighing 5 lbs. 12 oz. and was 19 1/2 in long. She was an absolute delight and very easy going baby. Today she tips the scales weighing 20 lbs. 13 oz and is a beautiful little girl with an abundant amount of energy that keeps us on our toes. She is already beginning to test her boundaries and learn her limits. We thank God everyday for our precious miracle and love her unconditionally.
