Class of 2014 to Class of 2027

Another big day in the Giosa household.....we no longer officially have a preschooler, just a school age big-boy, who will start Kindergarten in the fall.

His school had a nice little ceremony to honor their graduates, singing some of their classroom songs to show how well they know their colors, alphabet, numbers, and how they greet the day with each other.

They had a slide show capturing the two or three years the kids have spent at the 1st Presbyterian Bucket school; showing a picture of each kid in their cap and gown at the end.

Then each kid got to walk across the stage and get their "diploma" from their teacher (one of Aiden's teachers was really sick and couldn't make it today; such a shame)

It was a great celebration of the amazing two years he has spent at preschool. Aiden has loved school so much and his teachers have been the best. 

I couldn't have asked for a better start to school experience for him. He has made some of his first friendships, too.

 

And this year Aiden had the added benefit of his cousin Rob being in his class and his cousin Will going to the school, too. They had a lot of fun and a great year together.

I know Aiden will go transition well to kindergarten because he's always been interested in learning things, understanding how things work, and retaining the information.  

Oh, The Places You'll Go! We are so very proud of you, Aiden Edward and love you so very much!

10 years gone by....

Today Keith and I celebrate ten years of marriage and yet it seems like yesterday I was getting ready to walk down the aisle.

I still remember the day so well... Full of happiness and excitement.

Keith always likes to remark that I had a goofy grin on my face the whole day, but how could I not? I was marrying my best friend of 14 yrs!

Our wedding was a blast- live band, lots of dancing, lots of laughs, and of course lots of people watching the Flyers in the play offs (it's what happens when you marry in May).

The last ten years have been nothing like I expected or planned. Lots of laughs. Lots of love. Lots of moving, but also lots of unpredictable moments that had lots of tears, too. Keith is just an amazing husband, partner and Dad, and he's my support system and rock. We have had some hard times; some that people are luckiy enough to never encounter. I'm sure we'll have more to encounter in the future, but I know we' ll get through just fine because of our love for each other and support from all of you.

So, as we celebrate 10 years, thanks to all of you for the love and support over the last decade!
