Gideon - 16 Months

 M(om): Hey Gideon! How are you doing, big guy?

G(ideon): Oh pretty good mom. I having lots of fun with this whole standing thing. It has been pretty exciting to figure out how to do it!

M: We have been pleased to see you doing it. Any thoughts on walking yet?

G: Nah...why walk when I can crawl, climb and be carried around any where I want to go?
M: That is true. I have a feeling that one of these days you are just going to do it and then there will be no looking back. And I will probably be chasing you all over the place. What else it new?

G: I have some new teeth. My first two molars came in last week.

M: I know! Anything else?
G: I really like to play with truck and tractors now. I like to drive them around in the kitchen and living room. Joash even shared some of the tractors he doesn't play with as much anymore, so I have lots of new ones to try out.

M: It has been so neat to see you crawling along pushing the different vehicles around. You certainly are getting interested in those. What else have you learned?

G: I can climb on to the couch, kitchen table and a closed toilet all by myself. I can so many things when I am up high.


M: Including almost falling and almost giving your mom a heart attack. You are pretty daring. You also think that you can sit on a kitchen stool by the island all by yourself, but I don't know that you are quite ready for that, either.

G: But it is so fun. I feel like I am big like Joash and Mataya.

M: You are a big boy, but I also want you to be safe. Soon enough you will be able to do it by yourself. I love you Gideon!

G: I love you too, 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.

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.
