The Holdgate's, Year 2009

Wow! It's hard to imagine another year come and gone. Here are a few highlights from Fiddler island.

We started off the year in our new home and have thoroughly enjoyed it. As we continue to pick away at unfinished projects, we consider ourselves very blessed to be living here.

We had a few visitors that we really enjoyed seeing: The Schultz's and the Wallace's. We really enjoy guests because first, we clean the house, and Second, we get to spend time downtown.

In May, we welcome Olivia Marie Holdgate to our lives weighing in a 7 lbs 11 oz. She has been a joy and a great addition to this crazy family.

Sometime in August, Alex had an office procedure that will make sure that our family stays at 5 and all went well.

We celebrated Thanksgiving here at our house with 18 bodies and had a great time. Alex and I celebrated our 5th anniversary on November 27th and were able to spend the day with family. My brother in law Nick, married Kristy in December and we are very excited to welcome her to the family.

In the summer of 09, we had Operation No Binky, Operation Ryan in the Big Boy Bed, and Operation Potty Training for James. All were successful. More recently, we had Operation Help Olivia Sleep Through the Night which is almost a complete success.

As we embark on 2010, we look forward to a few more milestones and happy times!
