Our little Emma has bloomed into quite the music lover. Mornings generally start these days with “Listen to mmyouuusic!” followed by Emma running to the CD changer, turning the power on and hitting play.
Emma’s first Easter Egg hunt was at a city park in lovely Rancho Santa Margarita. This was the first of three during the week leading up to Easter.
Granma Northcutt has been politely suggesting a haircut for quite some time, but Marla and I weren’t convinced. It’s been getting longer and longer and finally we had to admit that being able to see was a little more important than having long, gorgeous locks.
With heavy hearts we took our friend Joost “Silverdawn” Loijens out for a farewell dinner a few weeks ago. He’s moving up to IGN/GameSpy HQ in Brisbane, CA. We checked out the new Fox Sports place at the Irvine Spectrum (tasty).
Getting back into the swing of things after “taking a few weeks off” to put together a new computer and a new website. Only 3 weeks of photos to catch up on…
Marla and I have been using Thunderbird for our e-mail since spam became such a huge problem a few months ago. We suddenly started getting 6-8 spam mails per day after getting none for such a very long time. Thunderbird’s groovy junk-mail-protection is pretty good. (Nowhere near as good as SpamBayes for Outlook, but that’s a different story.)
As you may be able to see I kind of jacked up the design of the site. Been working on a redesign and hit SAVE when I meant to hit CANCEL. Such is life!
It just blows me away how quickly Emma is picking up words and concepts these days. I came home from our home owners’ board meeting (I’m the secretary and treasurer, apparently) and Emma couldn’t wait to tell me about her trip to the grocery store.
I’m in the midst of redesigning this site and have been using lots of tips (not to mention design ideas) from many of the bloggers that appear in the first round of Gurus vs. Bloggers at Design by Fire.
Here’s something fun:
