Catch Up Time Again

It has been close to a year since I have posted anything but my goal is to post once a week. There is so much to catch up on, but I'll do the quick version. Last time I posted we were still living in Washington. Well in September 2007 we moved back to Boise (which for those who don't know, that is where we lived before and where Gabe graduated from). We bought our first house and lived there until January of 2008. Yes, we were only there for four months when Gabe got an incredible job offer in Washington. He is a project Engineer for Charter Construction. This is a field that he was interested in and contemplating on returning to school to get a degree in construction management. But I must say we received a great blessing and he was able to go right into the work. So again we packed up our moving truck and moved back to WA. We still own our house in Boise and plan to rent it out. Literally a few days before the job offer Gabe started into a remodel project on our house that once started he had to keep going. So Gabe is staying really busy and flying back to Boise on the weekends to finish our kitchen remodel and get it ready to rent it out.

More importantly our Second son was born November 18 2007. His name is Ethan Leslie Van Komen. Cade and Ethan are 16 months apart. Ethan is now almost six months old which is hard to beleive. He has been such a joy. He is a very smiley boy who loves attention and Cade is very good at giving him attention. You can tell he is happy to be here on Earth! He is already just starting to sit up on his own, he sleeps good at night, getting up once to eat. He is not much for Naps during the day. He doesn't want to miss out on anything. He will take naps just short and only a few. Which compared to Cade is quite different from what I remember. He is just another bundle of Joy! If you ask what the biggest difference between Cade and Ethan is, today along with many days I will tell you Ethan spits up a lot more than cade did (and I thought Cade was a spitty up baby) Ethan is growing really well but sometimes I wonder how it seams like he spits everything up.



I love being a Mother my boys including Gabriel, give me such joy and happiness in my life. I feel very blessed.
