Missing you
No story, just thinking of and missing you a lot Gregory
No story, just thinking of and missing you a lot Gregory
The age of Gregory in this picture is about the age he was when I remember seeing him for the first time. I remember Naomi and I were so excited to see the first boy cousin in the Mosher family. We were in Grampa and Gramma's kitchen and Aunt Diana had Gregory in a high chair feeding him baby food. We just stood there watching. I have seen a picture of this day somewhere. Someone in the family took a picture of Gregory while his mom was feeding him that day. Hope I or someone else can locate it. We sure were excited about him.
I have a very funny memory of Gregory. (Actually lots of funny memories!) This one though took place at Uncle Greg and Aunt Diana's house. Naomi and I were visiting a few weeks during the summer. I was around 10 or 11, so Gregory would have been about 8. It was Uncle Greg and Aunt Diana's anniversary and us kids wanted to do something for the occasion. Samantha had the great idea of making her mom and dad lunch. Later in the evening, Gregory had the great idea of pulling a prank on his parents (sounds like Gregory, doesn't it?). Being my mischeivious self I went along with it even though my older sister told me not to. Gregory snuck into his parents bedroom while his mom was getting ready for bed (think Uncle Greg was already asleep) and squirted shaving cream under his mom's pillow. We thought this was hysterical. We couldn't think of anything else to do so we decided to toilet paper the kitchen (again, I have to give Gregory credit for this idea). We tied toilet paper to the refrigerator door handle and strung it across the room over on the shelves. We didn't have anything to hold some of the ends of the toilet paper onto the kitchen shelves so Gregory and I found tomatoes in the refrigerator to act as paper weights. About the time we finished our job, his mom heard us laughing and came out half asleep and asked what was going on and yelled at Gregory to get in bed (she was too nice to scold me). The next morning Greg told his mom about the shaving cream under her pillow-he didn't care he got in trouble the night before. She said "Oh, I felt a wet spot under my pillow last night and wondered what that was." Every time I remember this I start laughing all over again and it brings so many more memories of goofy things he used to say and do :) He was like the brother I always wanted-fun loving and goofy! Love Gregory so much!
