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 [...]

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.

In mid-October, Casey tore his Achilles’ tendon [...]

Fireproof

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

Last night, Mary Beth and I saw the movie Fireproof, which was filmed by the same people who did Facing the Giants. I wasn’t a huge fan of Facing the Giants (I thought the message was good, but the acting was bad), so I was a little skeptical about this movie before I saw it. [...]

Are you adopted?

Friday, September 12th, 2008

Obviously, we have been thinking about adoption in our family a lot lately, and I’ve noticed that adoption is more common than many of us realize.
