Exciting News

For us anyway.....
We're pregnant with blessing #4. We are very excited and can't wait to meet this new little one. He/She should arrive on or around April 29, 2009.
I do belive that this will be our last, as we feel that 4 is the perfect number for our family.

Psalm 127:3-5 (The Message)
Don't you see that children are God's best gift?
the fruit of the womb his generous legacy?
Like a warrior's fistful of arrows
are the children of a vigorous youth.
Oh, how blessed are you parents,
with your quivers full of children!
Your enemies don't stand a chance against you;
you'll sweep them right off your doorstep.

It breaks my heart that most of today's society believes children are burdens rather than blessings.

First day of school...

Independence Day

Just a quick update. Nothing special has been happening in the Goodman house. Chris did have a small procedure on his leg. He had vericose veins really bad and it was extremely painful, so he had that taken care of. Madelynn is walking almost running everywhere now. Noah's almost completely potty trained! Abigail, she's just Abigail, nothing happening there right now. I'm just working and trying to keep up with the laundry.
This weekend we spent the evening with our friends from church, we had hamburgers and hot dogs, while we watched the fire works. It was nice, the kids were terrified though. They ran inside and stayed until they were over. Hopefully next year they'll decide to hang out with us and watch.
Hope to hear from you all soon!

From the first day to the last day....

I can't believe that preschool is over already! Here are some pictures from the graduation and one from the first day.

5 years already

I can remember like it was yesterday, the day Abigail was born. It's so clear to me, driving myself to the hospital (Chris was working and we'd been sent home the night before) and them calling him to come to the hospital b/c I was going to be induced. I can remember my dad and Annie Mae making the drive that night so that we would have someone with us. I remember holding her the first time and thinking, "Wow, it really is a miracle!" She was beautiful and still is. I'm so thankful that God have her to us and just pray that I do well enough with her that she grows into a God-fearing woman who serves Him every day.

what's going on...

We've been busy with life lately. Nothing exciting really. Noah's been working more on potty training. Madelynn is standing alone, still not walking but standing. Abigail's growing into a beautiful little girl, very strong willed though. I've been working out at the gym A LOT. Chris has been working A LOT. We've just been living life. Abigail's dance recital will be in May, we're excited about that. She'll also enroll in may to Zarrow International, which I'm totally excited about! We've met a lot of new friends on a group online, they're some really great people and we have a lot of things in common with them (ie. kids). God blessed Chris and I with tickets to go to "A Weekend to Remember" marriage conference, which in itself was amazing. I must thank my dad and step-mom for keeping our rowdy kids all weekend. It was a much needed vacation and we didn't even realize it. I never realized just how important it is for young couples such as ourselves to have a minute alone. It's a vital part of a marriage. Thank you to them for doing that for us! Other than that, there's nothing to tell. I'll post some new pics soon. We're having some family pics taken tomorrow at a park here in Tulsa, so as soon as I get those, I'll put them on here. Thanks for taking the time to read this, leave me some comments :)
