Gideon - 16 Months

 M(om): Hey Gideon! How are you doing, big guy?

G(ideon): Oh pretty good mom. I having lots of fun with this whole standing thing. It has been pretty exciting to figure out how to do it!

M: We have been pleased to see you doing it. Any thoughts on walking yet?

G: Nah...why walk when I can crawl, climb and be carried around any where I want to go?
M: That is true. I have a feeling that one of these days you are just going to do it and then there will be no looking back. And I will probably be chasing you all over the place. What else it new?

G: I have some new teeth. My first two molars came in last week.

M: I know! Anything else?
G: I really like to play with truck and tractors now. I like to drive them around in the kitchen and living room. Joash even shared some of the tractors he doesn't play with as much anymore, so I have lots of new ones to try out.

M: It has been so neat to see you crawling along pushing the different vehicles around. You certainly are getting interested in those. What else have you learned?

G: I can climb on to the couch, kitchen table and a closed toilet all by myself. I can so many things when I am up high.


M: Including almost falling and almost giving your mom a heart attack. You are pretty daring. You also think that you can sit on a kitchen stool by the island all by yourself, but I don't know that you are quite ready for that, either.

G: But it is so fun. I feel like I am big like Joash and Mataya.

M: You are a big boy, but I also want you to be safe. Soon enough you will be able to do it by yourself. I love you Gideon!

G: I love you too, Mom!

This Is Where It Ends by Cindy K. Sproles

When Minerva Jane Jenkins was just fourteen years old, she married a man who moved her to the mountains. He carried with him a small box, which he told her held gold. And when he died fifty years later, he made her promise to tell no one about the box or the treasure it contained. Now at ninety-four, Minerva is nearing the end of what has sometimes been a lonely life. But she's kept her promise. Even so, rumors of hidden gold have a way of spreading, and Minerva is visited by a reporter, Del Rankin, who wants to know more of her story. As an unlikely friendship develops, Minerva is tempted to reveal her secret to Del. But the truth of what's really buried in the box may be hidden even from her. I really enjoyed this book. It is quality historical fiction with a strong narrative voice. I really liked the characters and it was interesting to see how all of the secrets they carried with them affected them. I enjoyed the relationships between the characters and how the setting was
