FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!

Today was Austin's first day back at school. He was really excited and went right in with no problems. His friends weren't even there yet. Here are some pics.

Cool Day at work for Daddy!!!

John had a flight to Italy which was intercepted by a Swiss military F-18 fighter jet. They intercept them sometimes to check there registration and personally I think just because they think it is fun. Anyways, it is really awesome!! The guy he was flying with happened to have his cellphone and videod it. Tough day for daddy, he had to fly to Italy, eat some really good pizza, buy some delicious wine, get intercepted by a fighter jet and last but not least of course, come home to us!! Ha!

Hope you enjoy!!

And Then There Were 3!

WE'RE PREGNANT!!!!! Yes, believe it or not the Bartholomew's are expecting baby #3!! We are super excited and already 9 weeks and 5 days along in this pregnancy. We haven't posted about it because we were waiting to see the heartbeat first and I was fortunate to see it a week ago Monday. The doc says the baby looks very healthy and that he is THRILLED that I am suffering from some awful morning sickness. For those that don't know, we miscarried in Dec. and the doc said that my morning sickness is a great sign of a healthy baby and pregnancy. I am really looking forward to reaching 12 weeks in the hopes that I will start feeling better. I did try a medication this morning and have felt really good today. I even made it to the grocery store. THIS IS HUGE!!! And no frowing up as Belle would say.

Oh, the kids are beside themselves with excitement. They are fighting everyday over whether the baby is a GIRL or a BOY. Because of the sickness I have been preparing Austin for the possibility of a girl. Telling him I was sick like this when Belle was in my tummy. Anyways, yesterday Belle was misbehaving and Austin told her, "That is it Annabelle, now the baby is going to be a Boy. God is watching you and he is going to make the baby a boy now." They both just crack me up.

Please keep us and our new baby in your prayers!!

Is he the next Tiger Woods?

We took the kids to the golf course Sunday. They were having a family day there and unlimited range balls for children. Well, they have begged us to go back everyday since then. Belle did well hitting the ball but needed help most of the time. I must say she looked pretty stinkin cute though. Austin on the other hand I don't think missed a single ball. Hope you enjoy the video. Here are some pics as well.
