Back in the Saddle

I was blown away to find that my last post was from Easter!  I had a bit of an adventure a few weeks ago that took me out of commission - I got Hepatitis A.  I was pretty sick and completely shocked that I had contracted this illness but it is at times like this that you feel the overwhelming support of family and friends.  We had so much help and I actually recovered much more quickly than I expected to.  I was so ready to get back to my daily routine!

Right when I was at the peak of my illness, Diego was smack in the middle of campaigning for student council.  He was running for finance and I felt so bad because I was not able to help him very much with his speech and labels.  Well, he won! I am so proud of him for taking this on and carrying on even when I could not help him much.  Here he is at the installation ceremony.

I have been so emotional for the last week watching the 8th graders leave and knowing that Diego's class will be filling their spaces.  It does not help that Paolo just finished his Kindergarten year - where does the time go?  They had a prayer service and their 6th grade buddies were involved which was cool because Juliana is a 6th grader!  It was a special morning.

Here is the big boy getting his certificate.

Fuzzy picture but oh that face!!

Sr. Christine had them singing lots of adorable songs.

The best was when they sang "This Little Light of Mine".  He was so into it and was making us laugh with his crazy hips arm motions.  Lots of pictures with family and friends!

It is pretty awesome that my kids get to have their Aunt Stacia as their kindergarten teacher.
