Playing in the jumperoo! (my cousin let us borrow this one)

Our first family movie night! We watched 'Elmo in Grouchland'

Why color inside, or outside, when you can color in both at the same time?

So many toys, and yet, the wipes always seem to be the most fun...

Do you see the face? Alida totally drew that! Picasso in the making? Perhaps Michael Angelo?

Adam at the campground! He had to wear this hat the whole time when we were outside because the day before we left he was cutting his hair, and Alida surprised him, causing him to shave a huge section of hair off...so he was basically bald haha and with the sun so hot we didn't want his head to get sunburned, thus the hat!


We went camping in July with my grandparents, parents, and aunt and uncle. We slept in a tent, and although it got down to the low 40's we all stayed warm in the many blankets that we packed! We were able to just enjoy the outdoors, go swimming, play Frisbee golf, watch a magic show, play cards, and Alida really enjoyed digging in the dirt! Adam has more photos on his phone, so I will try to upload those soon. Currently Adam is with the kids at a birthday party for one of my cousins, I have come down with a nasty cold, so Adam has been letting me rest all day! He took both the kids to Mass, went grocery shopping for me, and has now taken them to the birthday party so that I can get a little rest. Yes, he is an amazing husband! My embolization procedure is all set to take place on Friday (Patrick's b-day), so please keep me in your prayers that all goes well! Adam has started his new math course, so please keep him in your prayers as well, he has alot on his plate! Giovanni is doing really well, he has started rolling all over the house! He picks up anything that crosses his path and puts it in his mouth, so I have to keep a really vigilant eye out of anything small or destructible, like books. It is so fun to see him rolling around and making progress! He is really growing up! Alida is her usual cute self. She has really enjoyed taking her baby/elmo/teddy bear for walks in her little pink stroller, so we go on walks just about everyday, usually twice a day :) She has started giving her babies names as well! As of late they were all named Charlotte, but Adam was trying to get her to name one of her babies a different name, so she did. The name she came up with is Boysis. Hahahaha!  Yes, little ones come up with the funniest things sometimes. Hope you all are doing well, you are in are prayers always!

Love, The Librande Family
