Big Boy #1

Hello family and friends! Yes, I am FINALLY adding something to the blog! Here are just a few pictures from Giovanni's birthday, Adam has the rest on his phone so I'll have him send them to me so that I can add those as well :)






Giovanni had a fun time at his party! He wasn't quite sure what to make of the cupcake at first, but once he stopped trying to shake the frosting off of his fingers and put it into his mouth, he quickly devoured it! Thank you to everyone for sending gifts and prayers for our little man on his big day! We did receive a present in the mail from Toys 'R' Us with no note, so we're not sure who it came from...please let us know so we can thank you! 

Giovanni is doing really well, and gaining mobility everyday! He can now army crawl, pull up on anything and everything, and has even started cruising along the furniture! He still won't sit without falling over, but it seems to be that he prefers to lay down or stand...

Alida is also doing well, her vocabulary is growing everyday as is her little personality. She loves to play pretend, splash in puddles, and paint, as well as many other things! Alida is our little sweetie and for the most part a very good helper around the house.

Adam is busy as ever, with teaching, tutoring, chess club, and going to school, but we still get to see him every now and again :). This weekend he will be doing an Elvis impersonation for an old co-workers anniversary party, if I'm home I will definitely be taking pictures!!

As for me I am in the hosptial this week getting another round of IV antibiotics. They had some trouble getting the picc line in yesterday, so I will be going to the radiology lab to have it placed instead (they use a little more technology and so have less trouble placing the picc line). I have also started doing crossfit, after 2 years of Joe trying to get me to do it, and it has been alot of fun, as well as a great workout! Thanks Joe and Maria for your encouragement and support!

Since I am in the hospital this week, with little else to do, I will be working on getting more pictures up for everyone to enjoy! Pray for me that all goes well with the picc line placement!

God bless!

Love, The Librandes

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...
