Latest Update

Wow, it has been forever since the last Wanstrom Family update. Alot has changed. Mikes job that we moved back to Idaho for did not work out so we had a major change of plans. Mike worked for a temp agency for a while but is now working for a framing company based out of Utah. He is working on two LDS churchs and will be starting a new one in January. He is still looking for a better job that he can use his degree in but we are thankful for the work that he does have. I am also working part time as a social worker at a partial care. I work with kids with behavior problems between the ages of 5 and 7. It is a challenge but I like trying to make a difference. I had a hard time taking Sadie to daycare but she stays with a sister-in-law that runs a small day care and is very good with her. Sadie loves going to Dawn's house to play and doesn't seem to care when mom leaves. Sadie is growing so fast and is such a smart girl. She had a mischevious streak and loves to wait until mom is looking then does something she knows she is not supose to and takes off running. She had just started to climb and will push her little table around the house, climb up on it, and get into things. She is talking alot although most of it we have yet to understand. Her faviorite words are "uh oh" and "no no no". She is almost 17 months old and his such a doll. We have a hard time keeping up with her.
Well I will try to update more but if I don't before Christmas we wish you all a wonderful Christmas season.
