My Life as a Mama with CF

Wow! I can't believe it's already Friday! We went in and had an ultrasound today to see how little Giovanni is doing, and it looks like he's doing great! Right on track with no concerns, so please keep up those prayers! :) Alida has been really enjoying story time lately, especially Goodnight Moon, and helping me vacuum by running around yelling and asking me to vacuum up her toes :) she is definitely our little batch of comic relief! Adam has been studying hard and doing well so far in his course, please be sure to pray for perseverance for him in all that he is taking on! I've been experimenting some more in the kitchen, and actually managed to make some pretty tasty vegetarian Mexican style stuffed peppers for dinner (the peppers weren't exactly in one piece, but hey, they still tasted yummy!). We hope that everyone is doing well and enjoy this fall season. Here are some more pictures from the summer for you! Here's Alida enjoying some yogurt and giving he...

We hope that everyone had a fun weekend! We actually had some trick-or-treaters come to our house this year, leaving us with just enough candy to share with the kids at RCIA. Alida had more fun running around without her shirt on for Halloween, but also had a ton of fun wearing her Dorthy costume (thanks Aunt T!) on All Saints Day. Here are some more pictures from the summer, as well as ones from this weekend! Enjoy! Alida LOVES to play dress up....hmmm, must run in the Librande family... Having fun at the park! Alida's first experience in the toddler swing... I think she enjoyed it :) I'm not sure who's having more fun, Adam or Alida? Swinging with dad! Snuggling down to read a book with daddy... ....and then getting tickled! Alida really enjoys sitting in little seats, especially her old carseat, which she is WAY too big for now! We'll see how she likes her little brother riding in it... So this is Halloween day (and wha...

We had a beautiful sunny fall day here in Oregon! The rain decided to hold off for us so that we could enjoy the crunching of the fall leaves and chasing the birds outside :) we hope that you all have had a great day as well! Alida experimented in a coloring book for the first time, and only attempted to eat one crayon...believe me, that's a pretty big accomplishment for her! Here are some more photos from the summer to catch y'all up to speed on our little growing girl... Alida is now our big walking girl! She started walking around 13 months, and now we can barely keep up with her! Below is a video of some of her fist big walking days...enjoy! Grandma was painting a cabinet and Alida was enjoying playing in the cupboard. It was just her size! Our little bee loves to dress up! Here's Alida playing in her pool on a hot summer day! 14 months old :) Drying off after having fun in the sun! Love you all! Love, The Librande F...

Hi everyone! Thanks to Oma and Opah's AWESOME birthday gift, I finally am able to download the pictures from my camera to the computer to share with everyone!!! So BIG thank you to Dave and Gail! Since it has been quite a while since I have posted any pictures I'm going to start with pictures from May and try to update you on our family over the next couple of days.... Ok, so this is in mid May when Alida was enjoying pulling herself up on furniture, and, of course, talking on her phone :) Cousin Therese showed Alida how to walk with her walker, so Alida loved cruising around the house on her own two feet! We went to the beach for memorial weekend with my cousins and grandparents. Adam and Alida had fun flying our kite! Up, up, and away! Alida and cousin Lucas playing with grandpa. Add caption Adam and Alida had fun building a fort! It's just big enough for us to fit! :) Alida and grandma talking on the phone. Alida having fu...
