Here we go again, @jfitz1023 and I can’t take how fast our girl is growing up @ariagigliottivb

It feels like Just yesterday she was 6 years old playing her first game serving underhand and we were going crazy that she hit it over the net

Now Last night we got to watch her play in her first high school game for JV and we could not be more excited and proud if her and her Team

Aria picked St. Laurence. It was where she wanted to go, and after being around the school and everyone there, I can definitely see why she chose it.

I have to say, I’ve been blown away by everyone at @stlaurencevikes . From Mr. Martinez the President , to Mr. DiCarlo, to all of her coaches, the parents and everyone we’ve met so far. You can tell there’s something special about the place, and I am so excited to see where the next 4 years takes her

We are so Proud of you Aria , love you to the moon and back !

And I guess it’s official… we are proud Viking parents! 😂

Michael Boy hit his first ever home run… and it was a GRAND SLAM!
Watching him round the bases with the biggest smile on his face is a moment I’ll never forget. I couldn’t be more proud or happy for him.
I’m just as proud of this entire team and their coaches. Liam also hit his first home run today , and Ryan also added another Home Run to his total for the season. They play for each other, lift one another up, and celebrate every success together. That’s what makes moments like this even more special.
Congratulations, to all the boys! Bud this is one memory we’ll cherish forever.
LET’S 🤬 GO!! 💪⚾
Love you @michaelgigliotti322 !! taken in South Side, Chicago by @mikegigs

“There was an angel born on 9-6-11, her name was Aria Grace and she had such a beautiful face…”
I used to rock you to those words over and over again till you fell asleep
And somehow, here we are 15 years later. Now my little girl I held is all growns up!!
I know I say this to you almost every day… “If you only knew how much I love you.”
And every time you say, “Daddy, I know.”
Girl… you have no idea!
I’d give anything to slow down time just a little bit, but watching you grow into the young woman you are becoming is one of the greatest gifts of my life.
I love you to the moon and back, forever X forever.

Happy Birthday @ariagigliottivb ❤️🎂🎈🎁🎉 by @mikegigs

I clerked / Traded in these pits for almost 20 years, and looking back, I can honestly say it was one of the greatest places on earth.

It feels like an another life now

Building of people packed onto a trading floor. Risking their own money and making split second decisions that could change their lives.

There were no screens separating you from the competition. You stood face-to-face with them every single day.

We thought it would last forever.

At the time, it was impossible to imagine that something so alive, so chaotic and so powerful could ever disappear.

Almost overnight, a way of life that had existed for generations was taken away.. just like that

And once it was gone, it was gone.

You can recreate a trading floor. You can make movies about it. You can show people pictures and videos and tell all the stories you want.

But you will never recreate the pits.

The characters. The competition. The friendships. The pressure. The adrenaline. The roar of the opening bell. The people all trying to make a living with nothing more than their instincts, their voice and their hands.

There will never be another place with that vibe.

I was fortunate enough to spend almost 20 years of my life there.

We didn’t realize it at the time, but we were living through the end of an era.

And damn, what an era it was!

Some of the best days of my life!

If you worked in the pits, you know. And if you didn’t, it’s almost impossible to explain. by @mikegigs

Last night was one of those moments I’ll never forget.

I had the opportunity to attend the Morgan Wallen concert at Soldier Field with my daughter @ariagigliottivb , thanks to my friend @mrhallett , and one of the founders of @payroc

As we walked through the stadium, we passed one of the merchandise stands and there it was a Payroc ROC Terminal + device processing transactions for thousands of fans, in almost every Merchandise booth in Soilders Feild

I stopped, smiled, and pointed over to Ryan’s daughter.

I said, “Your dad started this company.”

It was a simple moment, but a powerful one.

Most people see a payment terminal. I see the years of hard work, sacrifice, risk, leadership, and vision that went into building something capable of operating on one of the biggest stages in the country.

I’ve been fortunate to work alongside Ryan and represent Payroc for many years, and moments like this remind me why relationships matter and why LOYALTY matters.

Proud to be part of the journey.

Thank you Ryan, for the friendship, the opportunity, and for an unforgettable experience we shared with our Daughters!

Time really flies. ❤️

I still remember walking you into Pre-K 3 for the very first time. You were crying, holding onto me, and honestly… I wanted to turn around and keep you home forever.

Now here we are …8th grade graduation.

You are my oldest child, and in so many ways, we basically grew up together. Every step of life, every lesson, every memory… we learned it together. Watching you grow from that little girl into the beautiful young woman you are today has been the greatest blessing of my life.

I say it all the time, over and over…
You spell LOVE:
T I M E.

And every second with you has meant everything to me.

To everyone @bridgeportcatholicacademy BCA, thank you for always being so accommodating, supportive, and caring to our family throughout the years. We will never forget it.

Aria, I love you to the moon and back. Always have. Always will.

Keep chasing your dreams, baby girl. Dad will always be right here cheering you on. 🌙✨ by @mikegigs

Happy Mother’s Day to the queen of our family 👸

The kids hit the jackpot getting you as their mom, and I hit the jackpot getting you as my wife. Strong, loving, selfless, beautiful, and the glue that keeps us all together.

Thank you for being everything you are. We love you to the moon and back. 🌷✨ by @mikegigs
