16 Months

 Mom: Mataya, I know I am late for this interview.

M(ataya): Yeah, Mom. I have been trying to tell you that we need to do this for days now.

Mom: I know. I guess I was caught up in getting ready for our move and Opa's 60th birthday party and Story Hour at Coffee Break that is sort of slipped my mind. But I am here now, so how are you?

M: I am doing great. I know I have been a little crabby lately, but I am getting 2 more molars, so I just can't help it.
Mom: I know. But you certainly are teething in a funny order. The rest of the teeth should be a breeze now. What have you been doing lately?

M: Well sometime I like to work on my standing and walking. I can do it, but I am not really in a rush to stop crawling yet. And I keep learning lots of new words, but I get a frustrated when you still don't understand me.
 Mom: I am trying my best. But sometimes things just sound all the same. Any new experiences this past month?

M: I have gone for a few tractor rides. It certainly is loud, but I am getting used to it. I am also enjoying our Thursday mornings with just you and me while Joash is at school. But I am happy to see my brother again when we pick him up.

Mom: What things do you like to play with?

M: I like to play with whatever my brother is playing with. And I can drive a tractor really well and make a nice engine noise. I also like books that have extra stuff on them like sounds, things to feel and flaps to open.
Mom: What things do you like to eat?

M: I really like yogurt and applesauce still. Other then that, my tastes change everyday. Some days I will eat bread, the next I will not. Some days I like my veggies, the next day I don't.

Mom: I know. You certainly like to keep me guessing.

M: Isn't that fun, Mom?

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 ...

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.
