VACATION!!!

Just got back from our family cruise and trip to Disneyland! It was so fun. About 25 of the Giammanco's were there, and we all had a great time. Check out the pictures!

May/June 2009

Ethan's Pre-school graduation

Oh my dear, so much to say. It has been a really hectic couple of months. But after all of the craziness, we have so many things to be grateful for. To start off, Jordan will graduate from 6th grade this year. Her elementary school is k-6th, so she will be making the big transition to middle school next year. She was selected as the top student in her class! I am not that surprised, it is easy to see how special she is. She is really growing into a beautiful young woman, we are so proud of her!

Well since the moment Alex was born, Phil was neck high in baseball. But it seems as though all of his hard work and time is paying off. Palma won their first CCS baseball championship in the school's history, and ofcourse he got coach of the year for Monterey County. He is such a good coach, he really deserved it! (And I'll take credit for maintaining the home front while he was away)......

Alex is almost 10 months old. She is standing on her own now, at the rate she is going, she will be walking by 11 months. She is determined to get in the middle of her brothers, regardless of how rough they are playing. And when they take something from her, she goes right after them, like she is going to rip their heads off! She is one tough cookie already.

Anthony just finished pre-school. I can't believe he is going into Kindergarten! He is definitely ready.

Jack had surgery for a hernia last week. He was SO BRAVE. He didn't fight the doctors one bit. He literally walked into the surgery room with the doctors and nurses, holding his panda bear, wearing his hospital pj's. It was so cute. It hurt me way more than it hurt him.

My work has been so hectic, but with all of the bugdet cuts, things might change this fall. We'll see as we go!! All our Love to you!

April 2009

April already! This month, Alex got her first tooth, and is working on her second. She is crawling and into EVERYTHING......The rest of us are trying to catch up with her and maintain some kind of a schedule. Between Phil's games, Anthony and Jordan's games and practices, Tuesday night dinners and everthing else, there is always something going on. But I have to say driving into PG instead of Salinas to go home is mighty sweet! And Jordan turns 12 this month! Here are some recent pictures of the clan.

Anthony's First T Ball Game

Jack, Ethan, Anthony, and Alana.....Go Giants!

Daddy and Alex....

It's baseball season!! YEAH!! I love the Spring. Anthony is playing his first season of TBall. He is on the Giants (Thank God) with my neice Alana and nephew Ethan. Their first game was so fun to watch. No one got hit with a bat or tackled fighting over the ball! We will call that a success. Jordan starts her softball games next week, and Phil has already started league. And I can only imagine that it is going to get more crazy in the years to come! Here are some pictures, enjoy!
