Just the Latest

Well, it looks like we'll be car shopping this weekend. We've got our eyes set on a '07 Dodge Grand Caravan for now but things might change. We like how roomy the van is and Dodge has the "stow n go." We never thought we'd be van people but we rented one for a couple of days and absolutely loved it so we've changed our views. It was so roomy and big inside.
The kids are doing well. Kieran is loving Summer vacation and he hasn't seemed to get too bored yet either. His baseball team won "Grand Champs" for not losing a single game all season and they're in the playoffs. Hopefully they win the playoffs, they really deserve to. Their coach is constantly teaching them new things, for instance the last time Kieran got up to bat he placed the shoulder of his shirt in his mouth so that he'd keep his swing straight. It worked...he got a hit after having a dry spell.
Steff is doing well. She hasn't done anything too new but she's picked up "shush." If she doesn't like what we're saying she will shush us or if she's getting in trouble, the same thing, "shush." She also picked up some choice phrase that we can't be sure where she got from but it's annoying and we can't figure out how to tell her that certain words are not acceptable. OH...the joys of having a parrot...
Sadie is doing good...she has learned how to get up and down on furniture and she's working up the nerve for stairs. She gets really close to them and about scares her parents half to death. But as of yet she hasn't quite figured them out. She can go up and down them if she's already on them and crawling them but she hasn't figured out how to turn around and go down them yet. Still no talking but definitely getting more animated.
Ryan is doing well himself. He got a nice Spring bonus at work and he's building a new computer soon. So, he's a happy boy. I'm also excited because I get his "old" computer...the one he built about two years ago and then Kieran gets my "old" computer. New computers all around...
I'm doing okay...I have a bit of pain still but mostly in the mornings and evenings but things are getting better a lot faster than I thought they would. Or, maybe it's just been that long and I should be getting better..?
As you see things are going pretty well in the Krazy Kelstrom home...take care of yourselves because someone out there thinks the world of you...
