Hello. It’s been a while. I admit I have abandoned this blog since 2016. But in the last few months I have made it my mission to update the site and start blogging once again about the random things in life.
So, I created a custom child theme based on the WordPress Twenty Twenty theme, which I really like. This update took several weekends to do but I finally got it done and I am happy with the end result.
The last blog update I wrote was in 2015. My son Gabriel was 4 years old then. Its been 7 years! and of course a lot has happened since 2015. So I will highlight the main events that have had an impact on my life. I will start by mentioning one very important one, which is the birth of my second child Alan in 2017. Gabriel was 6 when Alan was born. He was very excited to get a little brother. To see both Alan and Gabriel grow, from Kindergarten to 6 grade! and all the adventures in between, have been a blast.
Here is a quick recap of the times since 2015.
2016
Started working at Apollidon
My second Web Developer role and first time working for a company with an open floor plan. I got to attend my first WordCamp during my time here.
Gabriel takes Karate! 🥋
The Karate school was on our route and he really enjoyed the few months he spent there.
2017
Started working at HealtheSystems
My third and current Web Developer role. This used to be the lobby back in the days we actually went to an office. After 2020 we all officially went remote.
Alan is born!
My second child. A beautiful boy came into the world this day and he has brought me joy ever since.
2019
First time at a real barbershop
And the first time he got a short haircut. No one could recognized him afterwards.
Gabriel builds his first website
Using the basics (html, css) he created his first site and hosted it on Neocities.
2020
Our first pandemic
The Covid-19 pandemic was a first for all of us. Luckily we made it through, but unfortunately many people did not.
2022
Putin invades Ukraine on my B-Day
Having dinner with the family on my birthday, thinking how Russia had just invaded Ukraine. I did not want to believe this was actually happening in this day and age.
Alan and Grandma’s first visit to Disney World
First time to Disney World for both Alan and Grandma. A fun filled day, and of course we got caught in the Disney exit madness.
Alan is 4 years old now, the same age Gabriel was when I wrote my last update post. I hope not to wait another 7 years to give another update.
My two boys are the most beautiful thing that ever happened to me and if all I ever do in life is be a good father to these two boys and occasionally write in this little blog about our life and all the random things in it, I will be a happy camper.
