From The Mouth of Julia

Greg on August 16th, 2008

“AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!” I (Dad) let out a mock yell at something that was mildly frustrating. It was a sudden, loud outburst. “That was loud!” said two-year-old Julia. She followed up with, “Not like lightning…” “Not like lightning?” I inquired? “No, not lightning. It’s that loud thingie… your mouth!” At that point, I was on the floor [...]

Trusting God

Greg on July 21st, 2008

A long time ago we decided to live life differently.  The definition of “differently” continually changes, but along the way has included raising support from friends and family who helped financially free us to work in campus ministry here in New York, and accepting any invitation to come and sing and never ask for money [...]

Tuna

Greg on July 18th, 2008

Tonight we had to eat tuna sandwiches. We have sworn off credit cards here in the Campbell house and are really trusting that God will give us what we need. If we don’t have it… we don’t need it. So, we have tuna. That makes it tonight’s dinner. The kids are all cooperating differently. Ian [...]

THAT ONE!!!

Greg on May 23rd, 2008

Today while Julia was telling me a story about Kirsten, she was using the pronoun, “She” when referring to her. I actually understood her, but for some reason she didn’t think I did. She kept saying it, and she was not pronouncing the “h”, so it came out, “See.” I figured she must mean something [...]

I Eat Bark

Greg on May 18th, 2008

I (Greg) made a feast for dinner tonight… just for fun. I baked some salmon with butter and dill, then made some home made mashed potatoes, and added some fresh cooked veggies. And, at the last minute, added some fresh brewed sweet tea! Surprisingly, Julia loved the Salmon. A LOT! So she ate and ate, [...]

“No, Me First Potty!”

Greg on April 29th, 2008

Our Julia started potty training this past week. She is doing fantastically! Really! Better than the rest of the kids combined! She just gets it, and she is doing so great! Her little friend Julia V also started potty training in earnest last week. She, too, is doing great! They both get rewards when they [...]

Julia’s Growing Up

Greg on April 28th, 2008

We were sitting at the table doing what I like to call “Table Time” and Julia had a little calculator she was playing with. She offered it to Alex and said, “Here you go.” But as soon as he would reach for it, she would pull it back to herself… teasing her big brother. Alex [...]

Along The Way

Greg on April 25th, 2008

It’s not really about getting there, it’s about the fun on the way there. That’s kinda how we live (or at least, hope to) and so that’s what this page will be – as much as we have time to document the fun along the way. There are so many funny moments, poignant moments, memorable [...]
