Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus.

New York City Summer 2009


Memorable moments/Highlights:
Staying next door to Chuck E Cheese (while Mike worked during the day time)
Time Square Toys R Us (Johnny was amazed)
Riding the Metro Train from Tarrytown- great Hudson River views
Johnny peeing in a bottle on the train!
Great Greek food in Tarrytown
Rockland Lake State Park-pinic and catching lightning bugs!
Standing right next to the deer at Rockland Lake State park and seeing turkey and otter too
Revisiting the World Trade Center and Battery Park
Taking the ferry to Liberty Island
Personal lesson on the Statue of Liberty from the designer himself :)
Central Station and the subway with four children!
Buying Lilly's Birthday present at American Girl-so cute!!
Mike walking down 5th Avenue carrying the packages
Finding small deli's to eat quickly
Jake and Johnny falling asleep in a taxi
Celebrating Jacob's Birthday on the 6th
Central Park...picnic and running free at last!

Now for the Lowlights:
Having a "boot" put on our van!
Being told "My dog acts better than your children" on the plane!
Being told to keep our children under control on the subway! (our sweet children!)
Johnny passing gas on the train and saying loudly "It's coming out"!
Lilly saying she was going to "throw-up" every time we got in a taxi


Mike was the man!! ...navigating ALL of us by plane, train, subway, taxi and rental car! It was challenging with four children and we were not always welcomed!! We had a great time just being together!! ...lots of laughs and tears! ...stories to tell!...memories made!

Thank you, Lord to bringing us all home safely!

Okay, wait a second...."My dog acts better than your kids?"! First of all, no way, and second of all, how rude!
