"What the Greek really means here"

Several people have asked me what the Greek quotation on the page means. It is the text from Luke 2:19, "  But Mary (Greek: Mariam, Hebrew Miriam) treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart." We didn't choose Miriam's name from this verse (just thought it was a pretty name), but this is our prayer for her, that she would learn and treasure God's word and God's promises.

Miriam has started "conversing," usually when she is laying down or sitting in her chair. She likes to sigh loudly or squeak. Not sure when the actual cooing will start, but it's really fun to listen to her. She is VERY interactive these days, and is always ready to throw a smile your way if you look at her right.
