Gideon - 11 months

M(om): Gideon, where do you think you are going?

G(ideon): I am going up the stairs. Can't I go up the stairs, mom?

M: I would feel better if you knew how to get back down. Why don't you come here and tell me what  is new with you?

G: Well, I have my first tooth just starting to poke through.

M: It is pretty excited. And it looks like a few more are on their way as well. You will soon have a mouth full of teeth.
G: Well, that may mean I can eat even more things. There are so many things that I like to eat and so many that look really good and wish I could.

M: I am pretty impressed with what you eat each day. A whole piece of pizza, any vegetables and any fruit. It is great. What else is new?

G: I am getting really fast at crawling on my hands and knees.
M: You are. And sometimes your body goes faster then you hands and knees and you end up with a bump on the head.

G: That happens most often when I am trying to get to the window to see the tractors.

M: What else can you do?

G: I can clap and wave my hands. I also am getting braver at standing with only one hand.

M: You are a big, brave, boy and I can hardly believe you are almost one year old!

The 49th Mystic by Ted Dekker

In the small town of Eden, Utah, a blind girl named Rachelle Matthews is about to find out just how wrong. When a procedure meant to restore Rachelle's sight goes awry, she begins to dream of another world so real that she wonders if Earth might only be a dream experienced when she falls asleep in that reality.  She is the prophesied one who must find and recover five ancient seals--in both worlds--before powerful enemies destroy her. If Rachelle succeeds in her quest, peace will reign. If she fails, both worlds will forever be locked in darkness. I am a big Ted Dekker fan, and became a fan when I read the Circle Series. So when I heard Ted was writing more books in the Circle world, I could not wait to go back. And Dekker did not dissappoint. The only thing I don't like about this book is that I have to wait until October to get the second half of the story. Dekker is a master world builder and write interesting a complex characters. And Dekker masterfully weaves truth throu...

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.

American Thanksgiving

One nice thing about being from two different countries is that we can celebrate more holidays. And since there are a few more people from the states here, last night we had our own American Thanksgiving feast. There were six couples and all of the wives and two of the husbands were from the States. So the Americans out numbered the Canadians, which doesn't happen very often. And we had a feast. There was turkey, ham, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, green beans, bread, stuffing and three different kinds of pies for dessert and a pumpkin cake. It was wonderful. And the fellowship was great too. The hosts said there was no assigned seating, so the ladies all sat together at one of the table and guys at the other. It was funny how it worked out, but we had great conversations full of laughter. It was a great way to celebrate a holiday. Hopefully we have started our own tradition here.
