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 #1 (or Stud #1, as he likes to be called)
BOY #2
BOY #3
Even our dog, Boo, is a BOY (kind of)
Do you think I’m a little out-numbered? It’s definitely becoming a problem. We’ve got cars and trucks coming out of our ears (we even discovered the other morning that Doc Hudson, the car, had spent the night in our bed . . . creepy); we’ve got boy toys, boy clothes, boy noises, and boy smells everywhere! But you know what we don’t have a lot of around here? Pink. There is almost no pink in this house, no dolls, no little dresses, just boys, BOYS, BOYS!! (Don’t be fooled, I’m in LOVE with my boys.)
Another problem that keeps popping up at the Picker House: Ethiopia. We can’t quit talking about, thinking about, and dreaming about this incredible country, beautiful people, and amazing work God has poured into our hearts. We’re absolutely in love, and like love-sick teenagers we can’t get Ethiopia or the orphans there out of our heads.
So . . . two problems: not enough pink, and not enough Ethiopia. Hmmm . . . what would be a good solution?
