Here Goes Nothing...

Alyvia turned 8 months old three days ago (March 16th) and I have been beating myself up over not starting a blog yet. I wanted to start one when I was pregnant and then right after she was born. Instead, I have been putting reminders in my phone every time she had a "milestone" or did something cute or made us smile. Right before we left for our cruise I almost had a panic attack because I thought my calendar was lost forever along with all the Alyvia events. It has since been restored and now everything is in the cloud (thanks to the Iphone). Anyway, the reason for wanting to start this blog is because I wanted to keep family and friends in the loop about our life...ok, about Alyvia's life...since both Ed and I know we are chopped liver now =) Since we have family and friends spread out across the US, we figured this blog was the best way to communicate the Orth (or, Orse) family happenings. I can't promise it will be updated every day, but my goal is to at least post something once a week. If you made it here, thanks for reading and ENJOY!
