So we’re finally settling in from our recent move over here at the Picker House. We are feeling very happy and very blessed. We love our new house; we have lots of room, lots of yard space, and even more toys. In fact, there’s another thing we have lots of around here: BOYS. BOY [...]

REFERRAL!!!

Posted by Mary Beth on Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

We are overwhelmed, blessed, and absolutely overjoyed to announce that we have received our referral! Monday evening, I got a call from Holt telling us that they had a baby boy waiting for us.

There are so many things about this video that are special.
The teacher. The teaching method. The subject. The student.
The lesson. The faith. The joy.

Caleb is very bright and his light is destined to illuminate
his world. I'm proud of his parents. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Casey for fixing it, where I could open this. It is precious. Caleb has a wonderful memory. I know Caleb gets all the recogition, but Mary Beth did a great job too and looks so sweet and pretty. You did a great job filming it. So, it was a great family effort. I am so pleased the way you and Mary Beth are teaching Caleb about Jesus and spending quality time with him. That is so important.
Love,
Mema

How Precious

How precious! Mary Beth, you and Casey are doing such a great job teaching Caleb about Jesus. Now is the time when he can remember so easily. I know it is a blessing for him and you all to spend time together. We pray you all have a safe and fun time in Georgia. Tell all of the gang there that we said hello and we love all of you.

Come see us when you can. Make it for a basketball game. I'm sure Brenda can get you seats us by us.

Thanks, Case. That is great!

Sweet! What book is that? It looks like it has good illustrations.

Caleb loves this book. It's called "The Stable where Jesus was Born".
Mary Beth

It's called "The Stable Where Jesus Was Born" by Rhonda Gowler Greene. It's really a great book. I used at church and at CBS, and every kid I've read it to has begged me to read it again. I think they like the rhyme. Caleb loves it.

I can't wait for Caleb to come read for us this next week. I think he already reads better that I did in 3rd grade! Mary Beth...you deserve a cup of coffee. See you all Sunday night.
