Uncle Patrick is Rather Large!

On my visit to Columbia this weekend, I got to know Uncle Patrick and I noticed that he was a LOT bigger that I was! Just take a look at those hands! But I like Uncle Patrick because he is funny, in an odd sort of way. For example, he commented that taking care of me was like taking care of a drunk person. Lucky for him, I found the comment so funny that I was not offended.

Next step: Uncle Gus.

An aside: Aunt Katy was also home, and she was nurturing and comforting, and I would like to go visit her in Oxford SOON. Aunt Katy tells me she has TONS of books she wants me to read ... so much to do; so little time.

Still Don't Know Her Name

Well, well, well ... we still don't know her name. We have decided to wait until I begin to talk (which I predict will be very soon), and one of these days we will come up with a name. Meanwhile, I just know that she loves me more than life its own self and that is all that matters in this world to me.

Signed,

Lily Gillen

More on Lilies ...

Hello, Everyone ... just want to comment on my latest observation that life is strange! Consider the lilies, for instance. My mother bought this house last summer with nary a thought about the flowers that were planted deep in the ground. Then I was born on March 4, 2009, and here in May, we notice that LILIES are bursting up all over the place! It seems they were the only flower planted in the numerous flowerbeds around the house ... lilies of all shapes and sizes ... lilies everywhere, but of course I am the BEST lily, or so they say. Whatever the case, I think these flowers are beautiful and interesting. Everything is still so NEW to me, but I do love these lilies ...

Consider the Lilies

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin. And yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”
