What are we up to?

Two Problems

Posted by Mary Beth on Monday, January 18th, 2010

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 [...]

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.

Nine Months Old

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Life has been moving fast over the last few weeks, and it takes all this momma has just to keep up. Both boys are growing like weeds and are definitely setting some Picker/Stanford records in the size department. Josiah is a whopping 22 pounds now, but, trust me, at the end of the day he [...]
