Conversations with Autumn

I think from time to time I'll try to post an interesting conversation between myself and a two year old. Here's my first entry:

Me: Autumn, what would you like to have for lunch?
Autumn: Ice Cream!

No, that's not a picture of ice cream. Those are green eggs (we were out of green ham that day).

Flickr Update

There are some more recent shots of the girls posted to flickr.
Be sure to bookmark this and previous flickr links if you want because somehow in all my tech savvy I have unintentionally created yet another flickr account. This is number four. Sigh.

Urp

"You said I had to wear a bib, but not HOW I wear it."


Family tradition...each new kid gets a throw-up picture posted to the blog.

You can find more recent pics of the girls at flickr.

"Uh-Oh"

What distresses a two-year old.

Recent Cedar

"Let's Go See Maggie"

Whenever Autumn and I are out and about and it is time to go back, it's never going back to see Mom or Grandma or Papa or Baby Cedar. It's always, "Let's go see Maggie."

I've got a few more recent pics of Autumn on Flickr.

Eden

Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
your justice like the ocean depths.
You care for people and animals alike, O Lord.
How precious is your unfailing love, O God!
All humanity finds shelter
in the shadow of your wings.
You feed them from the abundance of your own house,
letting them drink from your river of delight. - Psalm 36:6-8

Indeed, the LORD will comfort Zion; He will comfort all her waste places. And her wilderness He will make like Eden, And her desert like the garden of the LORD; Joy and gladness will be found in her, Thanksgiving and sound of a melody. -Isaiah 51:3

Eden of course is the Garden of God. Paradise. Eden means delight and pleasure. It symbolizes unbroken relationship between God and man. And the more I researched these names, the more intertwined I found the themes of trees, rivers, and Eden. They can scarcely be separated.

Cedar Caelyn-Eden:
Tree of Life, River of Life, Loved Forever, our pleasure and our delight.
