St. Augustine
Our second stop with Oma and Opa (after Greenville) was St. Augustine. It was a beautiful city and gorgeous weather. We stayed right on the harbor.

Christmas '09 Highlights
Christmas '09
Some highlights from Christmas are as follows: the kids piling on Rachel begging her to play her music on her computer (mostly from Wicked), the usual not-so-serious Nativity re-enactment, gratefully violent hugging when given a gift they had been hoping for by someone, and Ethan sacked out through most of Christmas Eve.
The Bartholomew way to pick someone up from the airport late at night
Yes, we must invent ways to keep ourselves awake when we pick people up from the airport late at night. Thankfully, we were not arrested. Notice mom and dad hiding inconspicuously. Rachel will never find me in this hat. (Somehow she did.) Les probably fit in the most here in NC. Everyone at the airport probably just thought he'd gotten back from a recent hunting trip. (Later in the year, you will see he went to an airport pick-up in a red one-piece long johns with buttons and butt flap, and then a cowboy hat and boots.) Rachel, the things we do to provide you with entertainment. I hope you appreciate it.
Oh, and Ingrid... this reminds me of a picture I must find. It involves small bathroom appliances. (to be cont'd)

Misc Dec highlights
Javita and I... we are together all the time and yet we never take a picture together, so finally we have one.
And poor Tessa was so excited to help Grandma make brown sugar muffins on Sunday morning... she leaned in a little too close to the beaters. It took about 30 minutes to untangle, but we didn't have to use scissors.
Of course, we have all the class Christmas parties and crafts.
Tessa and her best friend Cayda and her favorite teacher (still), Mrs. Latta.
