M(om): Hey Gideon! You are 2 months old already. Time is going to fast!

G(ideon):  Really, mom? I had know idea. Life has been pretty great.

M: Well, you have been a pretty great, baby Gideon. I am so thankful for you. What have you been up to this last month?
G: Well, I think I have been growing a lot.  You or Dad seem to tell me that just about every day. And Joash keeps saying that my ears are getting bigger.

M: You certainly are growing. Some of your 3 month clothing is almost too small already. Have you learned to do anything this new this month?

G: I am starting to smile and coo, which I have found out that you and dad really like it when I do that. And I like to look at my brother and sister and some of the toys that are hanging on the activity mat.

M: We do love to see that smile. What else happened this month?
G: I got to meet my grandpa and grandma from Michigan. And I was baptized. There was  a lot to see in church.

M: We enjoyed seeing how you were just looking around at everything and being so calm through it all. How are eating a sleeping going?

G: I love to eat. I could eat all day. Can I do that someday, mom?
Father's Day 2016
M: No, because you also like to sleep, right?

G: Yes, I do like to sleep. I like my naps and will almost always fall asleep if someone is holding me, especially if I am swaddled. And I like to sleep at night, but I hope you don't mind that I check just once to make sure you aren't too far away. mom.

M: I don't mind one bit. Now if we could only get your sister to sleep that well at night...

It's not the life he dreamed of, but there aren't many prospects for a high-school dropout like him.

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.
