What a Day!

 We had quite the day today celebrating both my the Feast of the Archangels and my 31st birthday! Gio doesn't have kinder on Tuesdays so I got to spend most of the day with him. We went to the park and had fun throwing rocks in the river for quite a while! Then we stopped by 2 different Dutch Bros. to get a free birthday drink! We got one for him and Alida to share at the first stop (he drank half then we saved the rest for Alida when she got off of school) and we got another drink at the second Dutch Bros. for Adam and I to share. 

Alida also got her braces adjusted today! She chose orange, yellow, and black for her rubber band colors in anticipation of Halloween. 

For dinner Adam picked up take out for us from my favorite Thai restaurant, it was even better than I remembered! Then I was able to open some presents and spend a relaxing evening with the family. Thank you all for the birthday wishes and prayers!

Here are some photos from today as well as from the weekend when we celebrated my birthday with my parents. ❤ Alida was the photographer for all the birthday pictures I have, which is WAY more than I normally have on my phone (which is none). It's pretty neat having a little photographer in the family!

Thank you Oma and Opa for these beautiful towels!

And happy feast of the Archangels! We pray for their protection and for their guidance to help us better know, love, and serve God in all that we do.

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...

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!
