Summer fun! - July



Alright, as promised, here are more pictures from this summer! These photos are from July, enjoy!
Giovanni at 5 months old!

(If you didn't get enough of those rolls from the previous picture...) 

Having fun outside!

Putting water in the pool!

Our little man LOVES to be outside!



Starting to hold his head up better during tummy time! (Oma and Aunt T were the first to really get him to hold his head up during tummy time, that was just before he turned 5 months!)

Enjoying a book together :)


Our little artist experimenting with paint on paper...

...and on her toenails! (this occurred in the space of time which I left the room to take the garbage out...)

Need I say more?

Sportin' his blue diaper and enjoying being clothes-free in the hot heat of July!

Enjoying time outside!

Success!

The 4th of July!

Grandma and Gio on the 4th!
And Grandpa and Gio!




We will be having a busy weekend gearing up for the Oktoberfest! The Oktoberfest is a German festival that happens every year in Mt. Angel, OR, mainly with lots of food, polka, and beer. We go every year to help out with my Grandma's food booth (cinnamon rolls and ice cream!) for the pregnancy center that she volunteers for, Michael the Archangel. Should be lots of fun and good weather! We have a PT appointment scheduled for Giovanni (finally!), but the earliest that they can get him in is Oct. 22, which is a ways away, so we are hoping to get him started with some private PT in the meantime (I'm still waiting to hear back from them...). My sister came down yesterday and we spent the day doing some shopping and running errands with the kids. Aunt Diane and Uncle Carl sent down a gift card to target for Alida's birthday as well as for Giovanni's baby shower. I was finally able to go yesterday, and with some coupons from my sister we made out really well! I was able to get some tennis shoes and slippers for Alida (she has been wanting slippers ever since it started cooling down) as well as a 12 month old outfit for Gio and some new plastic drinking cups for the kids (which we needed!). Thank you Aunt Diane and Uncle Carl!!! Adam is still working hard with teaching school and studying for his algebra test. He is also preparing to do an Elvis impersonation for an old co-worker's anniversary in December, haha, should be fun! We hope that you all are doing well!

Love and prayers, The Librande Family

P.S. Below is a video of Alida signing the ABC's, I think I forgot to push record before she started, but it's still pretty good!

Happy Veterans Day!

Happy Veterans Day to all of our family members who have served our country and/or are currently serving our country! Thank you for all that you do/have done to help better our country and the people that live here. Adam had to work today, but my parents, sister, and brother-in-law had the day off, so Alida and I were able to enjoy some time with them this afternoon. Alida woke up with a bit of a stomach bug this morning, but seems to be feeling better, which we are so thankful for! We hope that everyone had a great day! This picture was taken in early October. We have a great apple tree in our backyard that grows 2 different kinds of apples! Alida found this apple on the ground and thought that she'd give it a try... She definitely enjoyed that apple, so I'd say it was a good pick! Alida learned how to climb up on our kitchen chairs in mid-October. I thought that pushing the chairs in under the table would be able to prevent her from climbing on them when ...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Wow! I don't know where to begin with all that has been going on this past week, so I'll let the pictures do the talking... We certainly have been enjoying our extra time with Adam during this Christmas break from school and the extra days that he's gotten to have off of work for the holidays! Here Adam and Alida are playing dress up- below is a video of how the process worked... unfortunately the video is sideways, so you may have to turn your head, or the computer screen...enjoy! The Very Hungry Caterpillar is quickly becoming a favorite of Alida's, this girl definitely loves story time! She didn't want to wear her clothes, but Alida had fun wearing her new apron from grandma! This is the new party dress that Alida got from her Great-Aunt Janell and Uncle John. She wore it to our friend's wedding which took place during Mass on the Feast of the Holy Family! And of course, no outfit is complete without movie star sunglasses! Her...
