22 Months

 M(om): Hi Joash. We have had a busy day today and we will tell everyone about it later. But right now, it is time for your monthly interview because you are 22 months old today!

J(oash): I will smile nicely for the picture, Mom, now that I know to say "cheese." I still really like cheese. Can I have some cheese to eat?
M: Not right now. First can you tell us about how things are going?

J: Well, I am getting some more teeth, so that is throwing off my appetite and my sleeping a little bit. I really don't want to eat supper any more, though I will sometime lick something if it looks good. That is what dogs do with their tongues when they eat. I also like to copy you and dad quite a bit. Like when dad stretches, I like to stretch too. And I like to repeat that last words you and Dad say.

M: I know that Joash. That means we need to make sure we are teaching you good stuff. What do you like to play with lately?
 J: I love my tractors, especially when they are hooked up. I also like to put my blocks and other things into my loader. I really like my new, bigger sand box. And I like to play games with my balls, like kicking and rolling the ball to you and dad, or throwing it down the stairs. I still love reading books too, Mom.

M: I know and I certainly like reading them to you. What other things are you starting to do?

J: Oh, I like to sing. My favorite songs to sing are "ABC's," "Ba Ba Black Sheep," and "Twinkle, Twinkle." (But, they all sound a lot a like, mom). And I like to dance and jump!
 M: I do like hearing you sing, Joash. You do a very nice job. Let's tell people about your typical day.

J: Well, I wake up between 6:30 and 7 and play with my bunny and combine that I sleep with until you come and get me at 7. Then I eat breakfast and often look at the tractors in Dad's Farm Show. Then I get dressed and ready for the day and we usually read some books and then go outside. When we are outside, I like to play in
the sandbox and check on the pumpkins in the garden and pick some onions. Then we usually come back inside and make some muffins for coffee time. Dad comes home for coffee around 10 and I really like that. After coffee we go back outside until lunch. I have a nap from 1:30-3:30. After nap and a snack, sometimes we go to the beach, or we stay home and make supper. We eat supper at 5 and I play inside until it is time for a bath and bed at 7:30.

M: What a day. You certainly do many different things.

J: I am glad that you will do them with me, Mom.

In the Corn

Mataya got to go with her daddy to check on the corn. It will be ready to harvest soon! They decided to take some pictures. Mataya was so excited, she forgot to let daddy be in the picture. There we go. I thought this was sweet picture of a girl and her daddy.

Emissary by Thomas Locke

When you open the pages of Emissary by Thomas Locke, you enter a world quite different from our own. Magic is practised, but only in certain places and ways. There are legends and myths of what happened thousands of years ago. And a dark, evil force is slowly threatening the peace this world has known for the last thousand years. And the one person who may have the answer to it all is an unlikely hero named Hyam. As a child, Hyam studied in the Long Hall with the magicians who know and practice magic. His gift was to be able to learn languages with an astounding speed. Yet, he was dismissed from the hall and only returned when his mother begged him too on her death bed. Hyam soon discovers he has powers beyond the mastery of language and understand the the fate and future of this world rests in his hands. Along the way, he teams up with Trace, an older magician who leaves his post as Master of a Long Hall to assist Hyam. He also frees a woman named Joelle and their friendship ...

The Wind Blows in Sleeping Grass by Katie Powner

A fter years of drifting, fifty-year-old Pete Ryman has settled down with his potbellied pig, Pearl, in the small Montana town of Sleeping Grass--a place he never expected to see again. It's not the life he dreamed of, but there aren't many prospects for a high-school dropout like him. Elderly widow Wilma Jacobsen carries a burden of guilt over her part in events that led to Pete leaving Sleeping Grass decades ago. Now that he's back, she's been praying for the chance to make things right, but she never expected God's answer to leave her flat on her face--literally--and up to her ears in meddling. When the younger sister Pete was separated from as a child shows up in Sleeping Grass with her eleven-year-old son, Pete is forced to face a past he buried long ago, and Wilma discovers her long-awaited chance at redemption may come at a higher cost than she's willing to pay. I really enjoyed this book. The characters in it were interesting and unique. While some thing...
