The Alveys: Happy New Year!

We would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! This year has been an amazing year for us. Our lives have changed in so many ways. The year began with us moving into our new house in January on the coldest day of year. We were so excited to finally be moving in after the long process of designing and building our house. Along with all of the excitement of moving in our house, we found out that weekend that I was pregnant. My pregnancy went very smoothly and I enjoyed the whole process. During the spring, we had lots of unpacking and settling to do. Berkley had knee surgery on her other knee in the spring too. She made a speedy recovery and is ready to play again. The summer went quickly with all the baby showers and time spent trying to get our lawn and landscaping going. Scott and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary in the beginning of September. It is amazing how time flies. It seems like we just got married last year. Olivia was born just a few weeks later. Olivia has changed our lives in such a wonderful way. It is hard to remember the time when she wasn't with us. We love being parents. Olivia is such a beautiful, little girl. It is amazing how much she has grown in the last 3 months. She lights up a room with her big smiles and chattering. She has such a big personality already. This year has been such a memorable year. We can't wait to watch her grow in 2010. Here are some pictures of our memories from 2009.
