We're Baaaaaaack!

 After an incredibly long hiatus I've decided to start back up with this long lost blog. I've decided to stop doing family posts on facebook, which is why I'm starting back up with this blog! I would like to keep interested friends and family up to date with our little family's adventures, or more likely, our ordinary, everyday life. 

To kick this off here are back to school pictures! School started the day after Labor Day for us. Adam is going back to St. Joseph Catholic School as a middle school teacher. This is his 6th year teacher! Alida and Giovanni are going to Holy Family Academy. Alida (7yo) is now in the 2nd grade and Gio (5yo) is now in Kindergarten! We had a very strange first day of school, with the sky dark and glowing red from the massive wildfires that have been taking place about 45 min east of where we live. School ended up being cut short (pickup at 12:15) due to the impending fires and the town next to the kids school being put on level 2 evacuation notice (which means be ready to evacuate). The rest of the week was cancelled due to poor air quality, but the next week we were able to go back to half days (still because of hazardous air quality). Thankfully we had a wonderful downpour and the air quality has greatly improved, so the plan for this week is to go back to school as normal!

Daughter's Day

 Today is National Daughter's Day so I thought I'd fill today's post with pictures of our daughter, the one who made us parents, Alida! This beautiful girl is definitely her own person. She's sweet, stubborn, artistic, giving, and incredibly loving. We are so blessed to have her as our daughter!  Before braces... And after! Alida took this picture of Brumby with her baby Charlotte  We love you Alida!

Spring Forward!

Hello everyone! We hope that daylight savings is treating you as well as it is treating us, Giovanni slept in until 8 am today! Here are some pictures from last month till today, enjoy! Having fun in her dress from Aunt T! She loves it! Who's hiding under there? It's Alida! Crusin' all over the place! Having fun with Oma! We were so blessed to have Oma's help for 2 weeks in February!!! We love and miss you so much Oma!!! Made a bed out of towels Eating breakfast with Oma! Still enjoying her dress! Having fun in a giant roll of paper that came in a package! Paper Princess Alida! Getting big, and needing a haircut! Big boy, only eats big people food now! Fell asleep during lunch time! This was as good a smile as I could get from her.... Alida fit as many toys as she could on this chair, I think she did a pretty good job! They're having a party! Giovanni loves watching ...

Hair Cut and a Story

First off, happy Easter everyone!!! Alleluia!  Yesterday Giovanni got a haircut! Adam was the barber and I was the chair. Gio did a great job and aged about 3 years by the time we were finished. Check it out! Before... After! Before... After! And now for your listening enjoyment, here is a little video of Alida telling the story of Peter Rabbit, pretty much word for word from her story book (with a few mix ups here and there). She was looking at the book while sitting on the potty and I heard her telling the story, like I said, basically word for word, pretty good memory with that one (definitely comes from the Librande side)! I didn't get Alida in the picture, mainly because if she saw me with the camera she would stop telling the story. So put on your listening ears (and two year old speech translator) and enjoy! Love, The Librande Family
