Greetings Earthlings!  It has been a few years since I have posted on this page.  Not sure why, but it seems to fall by the wayside.   Looking back over past posts is a nice way to remember things though.

Gregory is now 12, almost 13. Not sure where the years have gone, but it feels like we’ll turn around and he’ll be driving.  He is in seventh grade now.   He is still doing Hip Hop dance and the acro class that goes along with it.  He is still doing well in school and is in the Junior Beta Club.  His free time is still used mostly on Xbox.  🙂

Heather is 9 and in the 3rd grade.  She is still doing acro, but is no longer taking any dance classes.  She is doing well in school and is on the honor roll.  Her free time ends up being split between various arts project (mostly painting and making jewelry with her mom) and watching videos or playing games on her tablet.

Andi and I are doing well.  Andi is working for Rogers Group Inc., who acquired Ashmore Bros. a while back.  I have been working at Meridian IT for almost 2 years now.

Let’s see if I can do another update before Greg starts driving.  🙂

Happy New Year!  It has been a very long time since I have posted anything on this page.  I was doing all of my HTML by hand before and got too busy to worry about it.  I realized that I was really writing a blog and reworked the site recently using some blogging tools that my hosting site provides.  And voila!  I moved all of the posts and pictures from the old site and will be adding as time allows.

Now for the updates.  Gregory is now 9 years old.  How did that happen!?!  He is in fourth grade and doing extremely well academically.  He put sports on hold for last school year and this one and has been taking Hip Hop Dance.  He enjoys it and is doing well.  He spends most of his free time on the Xbox.

Heather is 6 and in kindergarten.  She is doing well there and making new friends.  She is also in dance at the same school as Gregory taking Hip Hop for the younger kids.  They were both in a recital in December.

As for Andi and me, we are doing fine.  Andi still works at Ashmore Bros. in Greer and has started making jewelry in the last few years (for fun, not profit).  Ask her about it if you see her.  She is probably wearing something she made.  She is very talented.

I changed jobs in 2013.  The changes once CSI got sold twice were more than I wanted to handle.  Stress is not a good thing.  I have been working with Adcap Network Systems since September of 2013 and am enjoying it.

That’s all for now.  I hope you all have a great 2015!

  It has been a very long time since I did any updates here.  I have gotten caught up in living life and mostly forgot about this page.  I know a lot of people use Facebook now for this, but I find those updates a little limiting.  Let’s see, it’s been almost 3 years since my last post.  Gregory is almost 7 now.  He is about to finish first grade.  He has been playing baseball for a few years and played basketball in the winter.  Heather is going to be 4 in September.  We haven’t gotten her into any extracurricular activities, but she loves getting into anything her brother does.  There’s nothing like seeing a little girl dressed up in a princess dress fighting with a lightsaber.  I can’t believe we have no more babies in the house.  It’s liberating in terms of what we can do now, but still a little sad that they are growing up so fast.  This picture is the latest we have of the kids.  I’ll try to get more loaded in the Gallery soon.

  It has been a long time since my last update.  A lot has happened in the meantime.  Heather was born in September of 2008.  We haven’t stopped since.  I have uploaded a pic of Heather and Gregory on the main page here.  I still have to get more scanned in and uploaded to the gallery.  It’s amazing how much less time you have with 2 kids.  🙂  Everyone is healthy and happy and still gainfully employed.  You can’t ask for much more than that.

We just got back from Florida.  This was the first time at Disney for Gregory and Mom.  We had lots of fun.  I have gotten the new version of Gallery installed and am starting to catch up on the pictures.  I hope to have everything up there by the end of the week.
Andi is starting to feel better now that she is moving into the second trimester.  We get to find out if it’s a girl or a boy in May.  I’ll keep you posted.

  I finally got the Guestbook and Gallery back online.  I will start getting the pictures up to date soon.

  BIG news!!!  Andi is pregnant again!  We are expecting our second child in October.  We are all very excited.
It has been a long time since my last update.  I have lots of pictures to upload.  My web provider has moved me to a new platform.  So I have some new toys to play with.  I have gotten the Guestbook back online too.  More to come…

  Since my last update, Gregory had his second birthday party. I have pictures in the Gallery.  We took him this morning to have his pictures made at Kids Shots in Spartanburg.  He had a lot of fun, but didn’t want to wait around to let us pick out the packages.  So when we get that done, I’ll post those as well.  Andi has started working Thirty One parties on the side.  They make personalized gifts.  I added a link to her website on the left.

  One of my new hobbies is my backyard movie theater. I started showing movies in the backyard for the kids in the neighborhood.  It has been a lot of fun.  Now I just need to find a way to control the mosquitos. I also started back with martial arts again.  I am taking Jeet Kune Do at Downtown Martial Arts in Greenville. It has been a humbling experience and I felt all those extra years the first few times I went. 🙂 Aside from that, we have been working and playing with the Gregmeister. 🙂 Hope to see a lot of the gang at Neil’s for the 4th.

  OK. It has been a looong time since I have updated this page. Sorry folks. I added pictures from Halloween a while back to the gallery but didn’t add a link.  So there are pictures from then through Christmas to now. Since all of the new pictures are in the Gallery, you will see a new link to the left that will take you to the top level of the gallery.  From there you can choose which album of pictures to view. I am also adding a new video of Gregory making faces into the video camera. It’s hilarious

Hello All.  Summer has passed with nary an update. So here it is.  Gregory had his first birthday party in June. We also had his pictures made at Sears.  They came out very well.  he had lots of fun being the center of attention.  I wonder where he gets that from?  I put the pictures under the Baby Pictures link if you would like to see them. I also have pictures from the birthday party.  I’ll get them up here soon.
