Last Week of Summer

I had been looking forward to a somewhat relaxed week before school began, but that hasn't really happened. Here are some things that have been happening.

Joash has been a bit determined to learn to ride a bike without training wheels. He hasn't mastered it yet, and I don't think the motivation is totally there that he will get it before the snow flies, but it will be a good foundation for next summer.
 Joash also had a dentist appointment this week to fill a cavity. No loose teeth yet to speak of, but it is strange to think that could be coming any time now.

Gideon has his four month check up at the doctors this week as well. He weight 14 lbs 11 oz and is 67 cm long. So he is growing just fine and looks super healthy.

 And poor Mataya. She had an allergic reaction to something. We aren't totally sure what yet. The only thing new in her world was that she had some apricot jam on her bread for lunch on Monday. Tuesday morning was the first I noticed anything strange because she complained her feet were itchy. Then I saw red spot on her shins and through the day it just spread all over her entire body. I wasn't overly worried since she didn't have a fever, she was breathing fine and seemed to be her normal self other then the redness all over her. Wednesday morning she woke up and it was even worse. One of her eyes was even swelled half shut. She was itchy everywhere and her arms were hot. Called our doctor who said to come as quick as we could. He checked her over well and agreed that it looked like an allergic reaction to something she ate. He gave us some medicine to help it clear up and we will be visiting the pediatric allergy doctor sometime in the future. And no more apricot jam for her right now.
But I am happy to report she looks much better today, so hopefully we can nail down the allergy soon.

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.

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...

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.

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 ...
