Sunny Sun!

What Jack said, and what couldn't be seen in our old apartment!

Sorry I haven't updated here in a while! All is good. For pictures of our sweet new Thomas, check out heatheronthehill. She takes and posts such wonderful pictures, I get most of mine from her. She posts, I steal and w/in a couple of hours, I'm picking them up at Walgreens and posting them all over our apartment!

It's been wonderful watching winter turn to spring out the windows. The trees you can see in the pictures now are sprouting leaves. People are coming out on their terraces and patios (lucky brownstone dwellers!!)

Hope all is sunny in your world!

I hope your new place is nice! I know having lots of sun is so great with snowy winters!

Nothing like the sun shining in the windows to change things!!! Very easy to take for granted! What a cute boy !!

Glad you've got windows! We had a beautiful day here today.

by themother at 04/22/10 9:24PM
I see the trees from the windows over my desk and have so enjoyed watching spring come. Sometimes it seemed that each time I looked up and out, the view was a little greener!

by themother at 04/22/10 9:25PM
As Jack would say, "CEWL" New York in the spring time is so beautiful. Greet the Christians there for me. I miss you two.

Glad you are enjoying The View. :) Sunshine in a window amd trees outside are two glorious gifts of God's incredible world. My Dad mentioned the other day wanting to come visit his grandchildren in NY--none are Christians. He is hoping at least one of them would come worship with him. I'll let you know when, but it would probably be later in the summer. He needs a small break every once in a while and they need to see him. He never gives up trying to reach them with the truth. Their parents were disasters in spiritual training and they have paid the price. Grandchildren are so special. He's a cutie. I get to keep two granddaughters at least once a week. They spend the night and get breakfast in bed!! Josh's wife Lisa is in nursing school so we get the girls. This is exam week so they are spending a good bit of the week with us. Love it. After 4 boys, this is a big change.

We're finally getting some Spring here, too. LOVE IT! Glad you and Jack can see some sun now. :)

by rosemary at 06/10/10 1:40PM
Yes, Cami, Steve started preaching at Brown Street Sunday, June 6. You'll have to stop by and see us if you're in the area sometime.

by dsh at 06/17/10 2:20PM
Hi Cami. Hope you are recovering well. Let Don pamper you a little!

by ruthkrumrei at 07/09/10 7:30AM
Pizza. :) My hubby compared "pizza funghi" all over Italy. I know, we're not very adventurous. I did have some yummy lasagna one night, but I was so tired I just wanted to go to bed!
I take it you had surgery/accident ^? Hope you are doing better!

by praguer at 07/14/10 8:39AM
Thought you'd like to know... We keep finding the latest WW magazine lying around opened up to your page! We put it away with the other magazines, and Jack keeps getting it out to find your picture. He always says, "Nana is pretty" when he finds it. Soooooo sweet! He sure does love you! (And we do too!)

Thanks for the Anniversary wishes! :)

by heatheronthehill at 07/14/10 10:01AM
^I'm sorry for intruding, but that is the sweetest thing with the magazine! I love it!

Snow on trees in my favorite winter time beauty. Stay warm. :) Enjoyed so much seeing your mother-in-law at the lectures. She looked great and is such a dear lady.

by ncreaves at 02/10/10 6:10PM
OOh!!! Happy for you!!!!

by raifhaus at 02/10/10 8:07PM
Nice!

by jlmanager at 02/10/10 11:10PM
Good for you! I stayed in bed a few minutes (well maybe more than a few) extra this morning enjoying the beauty and peacefulness of the snow covered trees swaying in the wind!

by momw at 02/11/10 8:49AM
Yeah! Trees are a wonderful view (though I prefer them without snow). Stay warm! We're stuck with about a foot of snow/ice until maybe March. It's been a very cold winter!

by praguer at 02/11/10 8:59AM
I can't wait to see it!

by chekit at 02/11/10 11:01AM
Awesome!

So happy for you and don and the new apartment!! I am so excited about baby Thomas/Alice!!!!!! Kiss him/her for me when she arrives.

by ruthkrumrei at 02/12/10 9:11AM
Absolutely beautiful! Trees in snow -- one of my favorite sights. "Stopping by the woods on a snowy evening" -- one of my favorite poems. Enjoy.

by themother at 02/12/10 4:13PM
Congratulations Gramma!

by mr_and_mrs_berry at 02/16/10 9:48AM
That is quite an improvement! I've been thinking about you when the news people talk about all the snow up your way. I can imagine that it's really pretty!

by carolina_sue at 02/17/10 7:15AM
oh nice! hope you're well :)

by rosemary at 02/17/10 10:41AM
Is it in a better area or closer to Christians or bigger or what? Glad you are enjoying your new apt.

by ncreaves at 02/17/10 6:08PM
Wow! Natural light is so healthy and such an upper, a natural high. I'm not sure I could manage in a dark space unless I got out REAL often. So I can imagine your new found joy! GREAT!!

by ncreaves at 02/18/10 8:00AM
I didn't know you guys moved! Same building?

We REALLY miss the City! I could definitely use a Roti Roll and a Hungarian pastry right about now...sigh.

by adampual at 03/04/10 1:26PM
Hi! Just returned from a meeting in Johnson City, Tenn. I went because a couple our age is dealing with early stage a;zheimer's disease--she has lost short term memory and is struggling. It is so sad. While there we got to visit with Nathan Gates and his wife , a sweet young couple, and their little girl. I asked if they knew you and they did and spoke highly of you--not surprising!! {:-) Just thought I'd let you know. Know you are enjoying your new views from your apt. windows.

by ncreaves at 03/11/10 8:42PM
I'm a fan of the french doors. It makes you guys seem so much fancier!

by chekit at 03/16/10 12:40PM
thats really funny that you said that because Kayla was asking me if she should shut the doors or not, but without the little curtain things it doesnt really make a difference if privacy is what youre going for, and I was too tired to come up with a comprehensive response anyways so i think it worked out. thanks for still talking to me on pleonast even though I just saw you today. its more fun that way! :)

by chekit at 03/17/10 4:56PM
snowy trees are always cool!!!

Favorite quote from Bible class

at 02/07/10 4:30PM

So we now have a children's Bible class on Sunday morning, two blankets on the floor behind the movable coatrack with a sheet pinned on it to make a wall. We never know exactly who will be there so we've had 0 some weeks, or 1 to a high of 5 students, ages 2 to 10. I gotta give it to Becca Varadan, who carries a ginormous bag of materials and teaches whoever is there, whatever their age, no matter how many.

So today, 5 students from 3 to 10.

Reviewing the periods of the Bible:

Judges:

Student 1 ( 5 yrs old) - That's a book from the Bible

Student 2 (4 yrs old) - That's where you go when you hurt someone.

Only in NYC!

ha! you have the most interesting visitors.

by weekendsongservice at 02/07/10 8:20PM
Ah, life in the big city! :) That's a tough class to teach (many ages, never knowing how many will be there).

by praguer at 02/08/10 4:44AM
How cute!!

by jerzgirl at 02/08/10 6:21AM
Love it!!! :)

by momw at 02/08/10 7:42AM
Lol!!! Wow! How to prepare to teach a class like that???? But exciting too!!

by snickers63 at 02/08/10 8:18AM
LOL!

by jlmanager at 02/08/10 8:56AM
That's so cute! Is it really distracting having both classes in the same room? Also, do you know if Becca following a schedule or needing any childrens teaching material?

by chekit at 02/08/10 4:10PM
I know! Not really. Can't cuz so far we don't have the same crowd. Yes. ha

by nycami at 02/08/10 8:51PM
Okay, you're my new heroes.

by kodiakmaster at 02/08/10 9:38PM
Yes, the "Citroen" does sound a little too much like "lemon." On a similar note, our heater brand name is "Junkers." I laughed and told my hubby that brand would never sell in the USA. Don't you just love translations?! :)

by praguer at 02/10/10 8:07AM

Oooooh, deebledee, emm, bee, cee

at 02/02/10 7:23AM

The fun nickname given to Don's classes with several young people, doing self-directed study, was UWMBC - short for Upper West Manhattan Bible College. At one point we hosted a dinner for the students, and gave them t=shirts that we had made with the UWMBC logo (the letters between 2 pillars). He made me my own special shirt with the added phrase, Guidance Counselor, ha!

Anyway, yesterday, Jack was sitting in my lap and read me off the letters, pronouncing them like I spelled it above. Toooooo adorable! Maybe he's a future student!

Cute! Happy Birthday to YOU!

by split_rock at 02/02/10 8:08AM
What a smart boy! I hope you're having a wonderful birthday!

by carolina_sue at 02/02/10 8:33AM
Ha! :)

by jlmanager at 02/02/10 9:18AM
Happy Birthday to you!!!

by heatheronthehill at 02/02/10 11:34AM
Happy Birthday! ...and I agree he is too adorable. I'm so glad y'all got to see him yesterday.

by nannytwistyfingers at 02/02/10 11:39AM
Happy Birthday!!!!

by momw at 02/02/10 9:23PM
That's so cute!

by jerzgirl at 02/03/10 6:41AM
That is so dear - he is such a sweet lovable guy; he is going to be a wonderful big brother too. :)

by mr_and_mrs_berry at 02/03/10 7:43AM
HAPPY BIRTHDAY :) What a great present--to spend a day with Jack!!

Quote of 2009

at 12/29/09 4:40PM

My favorite overheard quote of the year: by a foreign tourist in a New York Souvenir shop (I had to buy some fun New Year's Eve parafan paraphan...stuff), and the quote was....." you.. have.....ah, ah, ah"..... And I'm thinking, poor guy, trying to speak a foreign language and working with a stutter........Wrong - he was asking for triple A batteries. HHHHHHAAAAAA!

bwa ha ha!

by weekendsongservice at 12/29/09 7:25PM
That IS funny! Mom tells that when we were in Nigeria and started going to a British school, Gardner came home and said, "The British say their abc's funny." When she asked what he meant, he demonstrated, "Ah, Ba, Cuh, Duh..." They were trying to teach him phonics!

by themother at 12/29/09 9:23PM

That's great!!!

by snickers63 at 01/01/10 5:25PM
haha that is definitely going on my playlist!

by chekit at 01/02/10 5:23PM
Lol! That's great...

by adampual at 01/04/10 4:01PM
Hey---I wish you could see Amos, too. We would love for you and Don to come see us. You are always welcome. We LOVE our Jack :) and are sooo excited about Thomas/Alice :) We had such a great time with all the family here. I have a down coat that goes to my ankles with a nice big hood. I look like an Eskimo--oh, I think my coat is longer than what most of them wear!!

by ruthkrumrei at 01/05/10 6:57PM
I hope you coughed discretely. ;)

by laurar209 at 01/07/10 5:36PM
I DO think of you when I'm cleaning out and trying to talk myself into parting with stuff. If you can simplify enough to live in a small apartment, then surely I can get rid of some of my junk! Thanks for the inspiration!
And I'm glad you were able to move into an apartment where you can see the sky! I would have had a hard time living in an apartment with a restricted view!

by carolina_sue at 01/20/10 9:07PM
I hear Edwin is with you all this week! I'm sure it will be a profitable weekend!

by adampual at 01/22/10 8:59AM
might as well throw popcorn. that way, no one would be hungry waiting for the bride!
