Yesterday we went to visit everyone at school. This top photo is very special. Gianna (Gia) on the left was in my kindergarten class my first year of teaching. Gia comes to my room daily after school to chat, show me her wrestling ribbons and trophies, beg for candy and just give me a hard time. I love that 6 years later she still comes to see me. When I had Gia in class I loved her name and had never heard it before. When we had Ava, Gianna was our first choice for a girl's name for awhile. Chris had a co-worker name her baby Gianna right before Ava was born so we didn't want to use the name anymore in case our girls were together at events. Chris no longer works with the woman, so we decided that we would use Gianna for the second baby if it was a girl. When Gia would come in and bug me to find out of I was having a girl or boy I told her if it was a girl we were naming her Gianna. I had no clue until yesterday that my former student's middle name is also Marie, so this photo shows the two Gianna Maries. I had to watch Gia closely because she would have stolen Gianna if I wasn't careful. I may have to hire her to come to school this summer while I'm working to watch Gianna.
I was also surprised with a beautiful plant from one of my current students. I got to see a lot of parents and former students while we were on our visit and am amazed at their generosity to me and my family!
