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!

I found this rock that made the perfect nose! 😆

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.

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!

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
