So, Sadie is doing really well this walking thing she's learning to do. She tries all the time. She can now stand up in the middle of the room and start walking from there and she can make turns. She's catching on pretty quick. Soon she won't be my baby anymore she'll be my toddler. It kinda bums me out, I'd like her to stay a baby forever but alas she's going to grow up.
I know Ryan and I can hardly wait for the days when her and Steff play together and of course, they will fight and it will probably be Sadie coming and telling us that Steff is being mean. It still will be great though.
I sure love my children. They bring me such joy, yeah, it is hard sometimes but I do it and I love it. I know I wish I worked more days a week, then the girls would be being socialized more and I could network with people from my faith as well.
Ryan is doing better, he took all of Sunday to rest. He says it's really hard to do anything on his one day off after working 18 hours a week overtime. I can't say I blame him but there are things, like the garage door still doesn't work, that need to be done. I'd love to give him some extra energy but how does that work? I know I can't and honestly I need to save all the extra energy that I get. These kids wear me out.
Well, I better go, I took Rexy to the groomer and he's done so I need to go get him. I can't wait to see him, I miss him running around and jumping all over everything.

Life is Interesting
Life never has a dull moment in this house. Of course, some things are good and some are bad. Just this morning I was using the restroom and could hear Steff laughing. When I reappeared into the living room the puppy and Sadie were sitting on the cushion less couch eating popcorn together and Steff apparently thought it was funny to watch. I had to clean up the popcorn and chuckle myself...
Well, our Jeep is still broke down and will be for and undetermined amount of time. The part to fix it was $412, so that's going to have to be saved for. And that was a remanufactured one, the new ones were $900. Oh. boy...is all we can say. Thank the Lord Ryan's friend let us borrow his car for as long as we need it.
Speaking of the car we borrowed...it's stuck in our garage...the garage door is also on the fritz and we cannot open it with the garage door opener, we have to manually lift it. It's not light...Ryan tried to put it down himself and it picked him up off the floor, that's how heavy it is. The worst part about that is that Ryan can't figure out how to fix it. It's not that he can't, he just hasn't figured it out yet.
The great news is that Sadie has taken the first steps to walking. She was trying really hard last night to figure it all out. She kept trying and trying and it was all by herself. She would pull herself up to the couch and just start walking towards things. She took a max of about 6 or 7 steps...It was great and we've been waiting for a long time for this. Of course, we praise her highly with claps and cheers and she loves it.
The puppy is growing and learning his boundaries pretty well. He's taking to paper training pretty well. Right now he's climbing all over me and my computer desk. He's just so cute and fun. I don't think I've ever loved an animal this much. I think the whole family just loves him to death. I know Ryan does. He spoils him rotten...
Kieran isn't doing so well taking care of his turtle. Ryan and I do it most of the time. We expect to have to take care of her when Kieran isn't around but he should be feeding her and taking care of her when he's home. His excuse was that he's too busy. Not sure how he came to that conclusion but he said something about having school 6 hours a day. He's been doing good other than that little discussion though. He has an appt with Kluthe today and there are a couple things his Gram and I have figured we need to talk to him about. Nothing too serious just little things that he needs help to learn how to relax about.
Steff is doing well, she plays with the puppy and loves every moment of it. He has a duck that's attached to a string that she pulls around and he chases. It's a great game for the both of them. She hasn't been to big of a stinker lately. No sugar spilling just little bouts of temper here and there. Of course, I've learned my lesson and the sugar dish only gets filled about 1/3 of the way now.
Sadie is doing great! She was talking but she hasn't done that for a few days but how can we complain with her learning to walk? We aren't, but it would be nice to know what she has to say. The pediatrician isn't worried as long as she's not just grunting. He says she most likely just doesn't want to talk.
I am doing well. I am growing leaps and bounds in my faith and I even have a job at the church. I only work about 6 days a month but it's a way for me to serve the Lord and the bonus is I make a little money too. I am working in their childcare department, taking care of kids under school ages while their parents go to Bible studies. I only work about 3 hours a day so it's not too much of a good thing. I really enjoy it and it's a way to get the girls out and give them a chance to socialize with other children their age.
Ryan is doing okay, he's really stressed out about the money thing because the Jeep broke down and then the garage door is perplexing him. He's maintaining a pretty good attitude and hasn't completely lost it. He acts like he wants to sometimes though. How can I blame him? I know and he knows that the only way we'll get on top is if he works overtime. I hate that he's the only one that brings in money. I so wish I could help. But, that's just me wanting to make everything all better.
I'm absolutely sure we'll make it and everything will be okay. It's just a matter of having faith. Faith like a mustard seed...

First Day of New Job
I started my new job today. It looks like I will be working every Thursday and every other Friday for MOPS meetings. I liked it and had a great time with all the kids. I didn't even smoke for a whole three hours and you wanna hear the best part? I only thought about it one time and that was all it was...a thought and the desire never reared it's ugly head again. I thought that was great that the Lord sustained my bad habit for that period of time.
Now back to how things went...I took care of kids from newborn to 2 (or so). I changed a bunch of diapers and it's a good thing that doesn't bother me. I played with the little critters and had a great time getting them to laugh and enjoy their time with us.
It was me and another girl. She was only 15 and had been doing it for two years so she showed me the ropes. If you're wondering why she wasn't in school it's because she is home schooled. I told her that I felt she should get some kind of school credit for taking care of kids like she does.
I had such a great time. I can hardly wait until next week. I didn't have as hard of a time getting the girls out the door as I feared and they even looked cute.
Sadie did well with the other kids. She had one period where she was a little jealous and came over to me crying and doing this throatal scream thing she does. I was holding another little boy who was crying because his mom had left him. He calmed down and Sadie did too.
Steff only had one stint where she was naughty and all I had to do was go over and talk with her and let her know that throwing toys was unacceptable behavior and she quickly started to cooperate and help clean up the toys with the rest of the kids. I was told she asked one of the ladies to take her to the rest room, she didn't do anything but she asked to go. I guess that's a start, maybe she'll see all the other kids use the restroom and decide she wants to be a big girl too.
Well that was the excitement for today, I hope you all are having a blessed day and feel your best. God bless each of you...

Borrowed Vehicles and New Jobs...
Well, I just wanted to update you on the latest. Ryan works with a guy that let us borrow his car for an undetermined amount of time while our Jeep is being fixed. Which won't happen until this weekend when Ryan has the time to work on it. I thought it was so very nice of Alan to let us borrow his car. He has an extra one so we aren't putting him out of a vehicle.
I start my new job tomorrow. I have to be there at 9am and it will go until about noon. I will be taking care of children while people go to their Bible studies at WHBC. Washington Heights Baptist Church is where I go to church and I'm looking forward to having a job and getting the girls into a learning program. They will be able to be socialized which they both really need. Steff needs it so she can learn how to treat other children and be around other kids plus she might potty train easier if she sees other kids her age doing it. And, Sadie is a little behind so seeing kids her size might inspire her to walk and talk more. All in all I think it will be good for all of us.
Kieran and Steff are playing together and every now then Kieran makes Steff scream which ultimately woke Sadie up from her evening nap. She's such a mellow kid that it's no big deal when she's awake though.
I have been doing Bible studies all day and had to take a minute away to blog. I like blogging but I've been so into my studies that I haven't thought about it. I've just learned so much and done so much growing that I just want to do more and more and more. It's very interesting the things you learn when you get into a specific study. Right now I'm doing more topical type studying but I printed off a whole bunch of stuff on the Messianic Prophecies and I plan to delve in to that soon.
Well, I need to go and take care of my darling children, tend to my puppy and continue my studying so I'll catch you all later.

Good and Bad
It's been an interesting week...first off Sadie started talking and says things like "yeah, yeah, yeah" and "dada." She also took a couple of steps, so she's on her way to walking. I'm so excited. She's done all this in just a couple of days. It will be cute when she's officially walking and talking.
Then the bad, our Jeep broke down and we have no idea how we are going to get it fixed. Oh...boy, the Lord has something in mind but what? is the question.
Other than that things are going well.
Kieran is adjusting to his meds okay and Steff has been pretty decent lately. No sugar spilling in the last couple of days. Ryan is doing okay, he's worried about the Jeep and how to get it going again. I told you about our Sadie girl, doing some exciting things. I'm doing well, living in my faith a lot and it's helped my days go by in a constructive way and it's kept me sane. I'm actually loving all the reading I've been doing and I've enjoyed spending time with the Lord throughout the day.
So, all in all things are good. I know the whole Jeep thing is a crisis but I'm not to worried, things always work themselves out. It's just a matter of getting it home, it broke down at Ryan's work...and getting into the problem...because we aren't 100% sure of what all went wrong. It's going to be okay though and the Jeep will run once again.

Just Want to Sleep
If you'll notice the time on this blog you'll pity me...It's 1:30am and I'm up because Steffanie is up. She thinks it's morning or something because she's being a little chatter box and won't lay down and go back to sleep.
Rex is sitting on my lap chewing on the pillow he's sitting on and I'm so tired I don't even care, not even a little bit...
It's one of those rough nights in the Kelstrom home. The first incident was about an hour and half ago when Steff came in and woke me up, which woke Sadie and then Rex saw me and started whining too. Boy, was that fun-NOT...
Argh, I just want to go back to sleep but I don't see that happening any time soon.
The kids went to bed very early, like 7pm and I should have know to wake them up and make them stay up sooner because I knew something like this would happen.
I'd just go back to bed and let Steff fend for herself but fending for herself is different than what you and I'd do. You see, she gets into things. She's are taken the q-tips and flushed them down the toilet. At least that's what I think she did with them because they have all disappeared and the toilet lid was up...
I should be okay in about an hour when the coffee that I've started drinking kicks in. But, tomorrow or should I say-today is going to be a rough one. Yikes............

Rough Night
It was a rough night. The dog and Steff were up several times, Sadie had a restless period and I was awake several times myself. I was up every hour changing the channel for Steff and re-covering her up and the each time the dog heard me and he'd wake up and cry for about a half an hour. Then to boot Steff woke up for the day at six. Which means, she's gonna be ornery during grocery shopping. Sadie got up early too. She was up by 7:30 and of course she pooped shortly after. It's been a rough night and a trying morning. I wish I could go back to sleep for about an hour, just one hour is all...

She's Two
Okay, so Steff just pulled a two year old move and decided the dog needed glucose water. She took the whole thing of sugar, which I just filled two days ago and dumped it all over the dining room and in the dogs pen and his water dish. The water was as thick as pea soup when I took it and cleaned it out so I could get the dog fresh water.
Not only did she do that she also took my coffee mug off the counter and put it in Sadie's reach so Sadie spilled my coffee all over the floor. I had just poured that cup of coffee to boot. So, I had to get the big vacuum because there was no way the swivel sweeper was cleaning this gargantuan mess of sugar up and I had to have all the attachments too. I put a towel on the coffee stain and cleaned up the sugar...
I'm so angry with her right now that she asks me for things and all I have to do is give her a look and that's it...she runs off, crying.
Not only did Sadie spill the coffee on the floor she spilled it on herself. And, of course I had just put those clothes on her. Isn't that the way it always goes?
I will be cleaning up sugar from here until Christ comes again...

In Our Bed
Rexy slept in our bed for the first time last night. Ryan brought him in when he came to bed around 3am. Rex sat there at licked my face for the first few minutes and then he got comfortable and went to sleep. He slept most of the night down in the covers and when I woke up he was ready for the bathroom and to play. He was very playful this morning...he kept biting Kieran and Kieran didn't like it much.
The girls are watching Vegetales...cute shows staring of all things, vegetables. Sadie didn't get up until almost 8:30 this morning and Steff crawled out of the kitchen at about 8am. They are being good-for the moment.
I'm doing well. I had a good day with the Lord yesterday. I spent a lot of time reading His Word and pondering the places in my life that I need to work on. It was good...
Ryan had a good day. He relaxed most of the day but he did help me make our bed and he put some protective film on the windows in our bedroom to help keep it warmer in there. Which it did help, I slept nice and comfortable last night with the temperature. It wasn't too cold and it didn't get too hot either. It was a nice change from the cold temp it used to be. He also vacuumed the entire house. Which is his chore, only by choice because he hates the floor being dirty. That's why I got him a swivel sweeper for Christmas. Now he can do on the spot kinda jobs and not have to break out the Kirby.
Today will hopefully be a good day. I have some Bible reading to do and prayers to say so I'm off to have time with the Lord...

Just An Update
I haven't blogged for a couple of days and I wanted to just do an update...
Our family is doing well. We are still adjusting to having Rex but it's seems to be fairly smooth going. Everyone but Sadie enjoys him and Sadie just doesn't care. She's in her own little world. Ryan comments on how much he loves the little guy and I think it's funny that a grown man could adore something so little and un-manly. For pete's sake he's a chihuahua.
Kieran is doing well. We changed his meds again and I think this time we might have it right. He was just a little out of whack with what he was on. He was a great kid last week especially after being grounded for as long as he was. He was very helpful and did his chores without any guff. He woke up early each morning so he could play with the puppy before school and it seems he had a good week.
Steff has been fairly good. No new adventures to report. She didn't get into anything and spill it everywhere for an entire week. It must be a new record. She has been play cooking a lot lately and we're thinking of getting her a little kitchen set for her birthday. We went over to Matt and Mareesa's house and their little girl has a kitchen set in which Steff really liked playing with. I don't know where we'll put it since our house is quite crowded (at least until my mother moves out) but she'd really enjoy it.
Sadie has been her normal, mellow self. She couldn't care less about the dog although she doesn't like it when he gets in her face and licks it. She just shakes her head back and forth and if he doesn't stop fairly quickly she'll start to squeal at him. She can walk while holding onto one hand now but she still won't stand or walk on her own. She has also been into giving "high fives" she thinks that's pretty funny and she waved "bye-bye" for the first time on Friday. That was so cute and so exciting.
I am doing well. I'm not bored anymore and as a matter of fact I feel like I live in a zoo. I feel like I literally live in a zoo...with 3 kids, 1 dog, 1 turtle and 1 fish it can be pretty hectic around here. I don't mind though, it keeps me busy and entertained. I like having so many things requiring my care and attention. I'm sure I'll need a break but for now I'm enjoying the way things are. I feel completely happy with my life.
I went back to church today after a couple of months off. I just decided I like who I am much better when I am active in my religion and at my church. I had a few personal realizations and I'm just thankful they didn't turn into painful lessons that the Lord could have given me. I just need to stay with it. I know Ryan likes it when I go to church, he says it makes me a very pleasant person to be around. I have to agree that I like myself much better when I've had that time away with God.
So, that's the latest and most recent with our family, I hope you enjoyed reading this weeks adventures.

I feel like I literally live in a zoo...with 3 kids, 1 dog, 1 turtle and 1 fish it can be pretty hectic around here. I don't mind though, it keeps me busy and entertained. I like having so many things requiring my care and attention. I'm sure I'll need a break but for now I'm enjoying the way things are. I feel completely happy with my life.
I went back to church today after a couple of months off. I just decided I like who I am much better when I am active in my religion and at my church. I had a few personal realizations and I'm just thankful they didn't turn into painful lessons that the Lord could have given me. I just need to stay with it. I know Ryan likes it when I go to church, he says it makes me a very pleasant person to be around. I have to agree that I like myself much better when I've had that time away with God.
So, that's the latest and most recent with our family, I hope you enjoyed reading this weeks adventures.
