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 [...]

Six Years

Friday, December 21st, 2007

This week Casey and I will celebrate our SIXTH wedding anniversary. I can’t believe that we have been married for six years; sure it’s not sixteen, or sixty, but six is a substantial amount of time, and we’re proud of it. We’ve both changed so much over the last six years. As much as I [...]
