Its alive its alive

So this is semi back. Daryl finally finished up a commission or at least got it to the point he can say here not mine anymore. Pictures to come. Things have been rather steady around here as we plan the Great Goodman Vacation, Bejeweled Bubbles takes off, Daryl starts a new job and tax time. I had this song which feeling wise summed up the (what ever month it was) the feeling of one of the months i was going to post. Its good enough ill still link it for all to hear it if you havent yet. As for information. I will get to that in a day or two. Hope you all have had a good almost half a year. The Goodmans

Update and pictures

So i finally am just going to do a update and its going to be dirty but i need to have some content up this month or im going to be mad.
So as most you know things have been a little busier than normal due to...well many of the faucets of the Goodman's life being bogged down with work.
We had some surgery, most of the family being sick for extended periods of time, Birthdays, a business opening on facebook (shudder) , the same business opening on its own website (yeah!!) www.bejeweledbubbles.com , Kristin making inroads with wholesale jewelery business both local and international, house work/upgrades and just day to day work. Im sure there was more also but without worrying about the details to much im going to forge ahead.
Also im going to post the pictures using photobucket just so i know that what ever happened before does happen again.
and here they are in to order


BUBBLEMOBILE!! The Bubbles The very same shirt Kristin and i wore on the "first" date All Aboard. Daryl's old conductor hat

Ok so sorry about the delay
Blogger has changed some of the blog details so i thought we couldnt post anything, but it looks like we just have to log in a different way
Lots of things have happened so thank you for being patient and some content should be headed your way soon. on another note i have no idea why the pictures have gone from the last post and ill hopefully have a fix for that in this post or ill just include more pictures.
again thank you
D

finally some work

So another month goes by and I have once again not done an update.

trying (once again) something new AKA writing the blog out in an email

and then adding and updating when im done. Things have been well with the Goodman's. Claire is nowTHREEE!. wow!! We went to a place Bounce U! and from what it looked like everyone had a good time. Its a bit of a hole in the wall, but inside there's 3-4 rooms two of which have several very large Bounce structures ranging from a jump wall, slides obstacle courses and a American gladiator style gun range. You get 30 mins in each room and then I thought 45min inside the birthday party room were we had drinks, cuppy cake and the presents. The best part is they took care of everything. It was great.

 Incidentally before the Claire birthday extravaganza Daryl got it through his head he wanted to have a little playground in the back yard. He searched and searched getting shot down here and there finally finding a nice little one in Elk Grove. With a lot of help from the parent in laws we were able to get it into the backyard. Its nice to have a playard even though its creates more work (moving sprinklers and killing grass), but the peace of mind that it creates is music to my ears.

   Something else thats music to peoples ears unless Daryl is playing is we got a Piano. It needed some work but all in all its a very good piano. Its a Lester Betsy Ross Spinnet  from 1947(ish) The finish is pretty nice for something that old. The last owners have supposedly owned it for 30 years so its nice to have the torch passed on something as cool and potentially wholesome as that. Dont expect any partridge family style antics anytime soon, but we do have at least 2 instruments and a possible of 4 people (in a couple of years at least) so maybe well toss something together.

oh and we went to the county fair and the zoo

and with that i think we have an update.random picture below.

pictures are a bit glitchy right now so im not sure how this is going to turn out.
