Our first post - A BIG YEAR!

2007 has been a big year for the Goble Family!

To our great relief, "Dr. Jake" masterfully completed his Ph.D. in Bioengineering from ASU. The degree came with many ups and downs, but was well worth it. The completion was both exciting and stressful - needless to say, we are all happy to have moved on! We were ready for the education portion of our life to fully come to a close. He has been working as a Product Specialist with W.L. Gore & Assoc. (medical division) since June. The job is challenging, rewarding, and BIG (as he is continually reminded). He is loving the position and the company - we have hopes to stay with them for quite some time, God willing. Along with the job came a move to the Flagstaff, AZ area - we are loving it! No more Phoenix heat!

Daddy and the boys


Whitney wrapped up her job as ASU Bioengineering Internship Coordinator at the beginning of June... a good job, but it was definitely time to move on to better things. That being said, she is thoroughly enjoying her new career as fulltime stay-at-home mommy! It is a lot of work (much harder than a "real" job actually), but comes with such great reward. Smiles and love everyday - even in the midst of the emerging terrible twos.

Mommy and Caden


Micah became a BIG BRO as we joyfully welcomed Caden Scott to the world on June 29th! He is growing everyday and loves to learn. We count to 20 and play with letters everyday - we have no choice, he makes us do it! ;-) He is quite the little ham - loves to sing, dance and be the center of attention. Other than letters, numbers, and singing, Micah LOVES Sesame Street, Barney (to Mom's dismay), Blue's Clues, and Kermit the Frog.

Caden is a sweetie pie and an adorable smiler. He gives the best grins every morning when he wakes up. Hard to believe, but it looks like he is already teething (much sooner than his big bro did), and is even trying to sit up on his own... I think he still has some muscle building to do before he meets that goal. He is a happy boy, but seems to be a bit more "all business" than his brother.

More soon with updates on Halloween, Caden's 4th month, Micah's big 2nd birthday, and the Polar Express!
