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.

Isn’t Christmas time wonderful? Family, Food, presents… what could be greater than that? I love the fact that everyone gathers on this day to celebrate the birth and life of Jesus.

Survivor almost Over

Thursday, December 9th, 2004

This is the time of year when Survivor starts to get interesting. Tonight is the last episode before the finale, and we are having several friends over to watch it with us.

The Telltale Nation

Thursday, November 4th, 2004

WOW! This county-by-county map really shows you what the majority of America stands for. You’ll notice how Pennsylvania is mostly red, but the few counties that have more population made the decision. I find the entire electoral process quite interesting. On Tuesday, as I was punching my ballot, I paused for a second and was [...]
