from a phone

yeah so this is a update from my phone. which is cool , but it centers on a part of the screen where i cent see the text. so excuse the auto correct if there is some. pictures are a possibility b,but limited to what's onto the phone and photobucket. The Goodmans have been busy with Abigail the newest of the bunch. i think thats the technical term for the amount of girls in the house. i prefer to think of them as an army, semantics and all.
The updates should continue , but will be hindered till Daryl fixes his computer. he was going to update last month but his.main computer lost its power supply. yeah i know 2 computers two power supplies. what are the chances. well anyways things are well at the Goodman residence as things wind up for the Christmas holidays.ok so to end this short as a paragraph ended up near the top somehow.im going to try and add a picture that says it all. unfortunately i don't have a picture of..well i.might have a second picture to add.

editing this as a html seems to work a lot betterish. still hides text but i can copy and paste. so things should work.

woot

Ok so

things have been interesting around here to say the least.

BLah cant believe i left this for 2 months

i havent forgotten about this its just one of those things thats always ..later ill do this soon..ish

Daryl had one computer go down and hasnt had the funds/need(its the gaming com) to fix it. He almost thought he had the main computer go down but it turns out to be some sort of communication trouble with a back up drive he recently got.

geez this should cover Claires birthday and Daryl's birthday but im not sure well get to everything.

We had a bit of fun for Claires 2nd birthday with the bounce house and the snowcone machine.

The bounce house seemed to be a epic fail when earlier attempts failed to garner the love we thought that Claire would show it. To be honest she seemed down right scared of the thing. Daryl started entertaining he by bouncing around in it when he smacked his hand pretty good. The good and bad was he had done something to the hand a bit before and the smart rap seemed to get things back into place. bonus. On the day of Claires birthday Claire turned an about face and loved the bounce house so much she wasnt even affected when she took a couple of nose dives in it. got to love peer pressure. The family took a couple of bouts of down and out and Daryl seeming to have a head cold/flu /alleric reaction to something for days. Works been ok for both of the Goodmans (heck we still have them right) with Kristin taking a bit earlier off work then was planned, but was able to still work and get paid, which was nice. Oh we got some new living room tables to be a bit more baby proof (Claire did ok with the old stuff but...) and to have a unified look in the front room. Other than the above, things have been ok enough that A: i either forgot about it or B: it just wasnt that important(or both).

sooooo on with the pictures.(ugh to the picture uploader. i forgot that i have to upload each picture one at a time otherwise they go all willynilly)

and heck maybe a movie. ok soooo no movie but lots of pictures.

i just like this picture

and done

sorry we took so long.

Abby should be joining us any day now. so expect more updates.

month already

Ok so its been over a month with out any form of update whats so ever.

Daryl's been a bit busy with the yearly painting competition down in the Bay area, but with that over with he does have a bit of time between 9:49 and whenever i finish this (Multitasker he is not)

Easter has come and gone and along with it the rain clouds ....or not. with a small tornado ( i say small as im not sure they could even class it) touching down around woodland it seems winter and the foul rainy weather is going to screw up any and all weekends for a while longer. Week days however taunt us with 80 degree weather and sunny to slightly cloudy sky's.

The Goodman's have been doing well with Kristin coming very close to her due date and finally she seems to have gotten her appetite back. Have being mostly sick for the last 5-6 months.

Claire is happy with the recent renovations of the house. Daryl moved the treadmill from Claire's room to the office and moved his corner desk out to ...someone else's house. (we put it in the bermuda triangle and it disappeared) The office is getting clean enough that Claire might be allowed into it not. haha. Oh the whole reason for the move is that Claire has her own toddler bed. Its a ....tinkerbell one that will eventually have a canopy overhead. We made a small transition from the crib to the bed to make sure Claire was used to it and low and behold she loved the thing. Even now she'll crawl into it grabbing a book before hand to rifle through.

As of now the Goodman's are in full mode to prep for Claire's upcoming 2nd birthday. This Birthday comes with a fully stocked snow cone machine (which we might not need as the way things are going it'll be snowing by next week) and a princess bounce house. WOOT WOOT!.

We have plans on making this hopefully pretty fun and even have Nolan and Tracy coming up for it. (we hope)

ok enough chatter on with the pictures.

again they show up at random even when i take the time to try and organize it.

9months

ok so to say i have forgotten about the blog would be incorrect. i just havent remembered what i should do with it.

Between the grand news of another GIRL!! (WOOT WOOT checking Army of awesome off our bucketlist.) and the couple of commission works that Daryl seems to love to punish himself to do. The Goodman's just havent made time for much else. Selfish?!? absolutely!

Loads of things have happened and as before i plan to explain later.

soooo on with the pictures and maybe a video or two

oh and no particular order

at 1st i thought the pictures themselves would be enough, but i think some explanations are in order.

Turns out if you wait long enough you do have more than enough pictures to make a blog.

So as most of you know The Goodman family is now expanded by 1.

the unnamed one will be named around April 12th (when we find out by best guess what sex it is) Yeeeeaaaaa!!

as far as this blog is concerned everything will go on. we'll try and add scans of the ultra sounds a as Daryl scans them in (part of the clean up deal).

ok so in no particular order pictures of Claire.

forgot to add the one picture above till later so its now above (make sense?!?)

Claires newest passion cooking. shes making steak tartare. BAM!

Claire eating breakfast. we'll finding out whats that substance?... queue music

So as we said before the Goodmans have been trying to get things into a certain order. lots of cleaning and craigs listing. besides the table we got a shed (load of stuff to get rid of?) thats going to be basically garden stuff only. we also got some Raspberry bushes to plant once the Oleanders are gone. Other than that Daryl has been going back to the gym (really good deal at costco) Good luck to all as we are supposed to be seeing a white weekend.

Ok so Claire has grown so much that shes about a half a head above the top of the bed(king sized) shes gotten to where she lets herself down from the bed also.

Shes still learning new words and is almost to the point where you can have a rather basic conversation with her.

Claire is getting picky with her food but still wants what mommy and daddy are eating.

oh and a couple of days ago Claire for the 1st time jumped (she did it a bunch of times afterwards but a true off the ground, air jordan hangtime jump)
