The Goodwins

I know we’ve fallen behind in our updates on Ella’s health and expander progress, but I have to say it’s been nice to sit back and enjoy life without really having anything to report.

Since the surgery to remove her forehead expander Ella has been healthy and happy! She’s even enjoying bath time again… they had become a screaming fest whenever we had to put water on her head! And as you can see from the pictures her “bubble” is really growing!

And Ella is growing up everyday too - she’s added the word “papa” to her vocabulary, as well as the sound of a bee. She’s getting really good at blowing bubbles (in the tub), and has even stood up in the middle of the room a few times - of course she avoids doing it on command so we haven’t gotten any video of it yet! But she’s still the same cutie who loves to peekaboo and make us all laugh!

Thank you to everyone for all the love and support that we always feel surrounding us.

I’ve changed the appearance of the website a bit. Hopefully I didn’t break anything in the process.

We’re currently using WordPress 2.5 and I wanted to take advantage of the widgets so I switched over to a newer “theme” and have modified to look more like our old one. The main difference will be sidebars on both sides.

Let me know what you think!

I’m just heading off to give Ella her 1:00 AM medicine, it sure hard to get her to take it. It’s amazing how strong she is and how she can actually get her feet up to her mouth to try to get the medicine away from her!

Yes, that’s right. We have a new site, Goodwins.info. TheGoodwins.info will still work as well.

This site will be able to link to our Photo Gallery at gallery.goodwins.info directly and to Ella’s photos at EllaGoodwin.com. Please check out both and we’ll try to keep them updated, as well as providing information here on our WordPress Blog.
