“This is my Daddy-Daughter Dance dress!” she squealed with excitement.

bubblefest 2006
Several weeks ago Emma and I took a special Daddy/Daughter field trip to the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana for the Gazillion Bubble Show.
(Did you know that Santa Ana has the highest population density of any city in America over 50,000? Nearly twice as dense as New York City!)
Happy Birthday, Emma!
Emma turned four today and what a fine four year-old she is, if I don’t say so myself.
For months now she’s been growing more and more excited at the thought of her birthday party. When queried about the theme she had only one answer.
girls’ night out
We went down to San Diego last weekend for Samantha’s 2nd birthday party at the Madigan’s place. We hadn’t physically seen Sam in quite some time, but since we read about her each week it didn’t really seem like it had been such a long time.
emma and the celebrity chefs
Emma has finally met all of her favorite celebrity chefs from the Food Network. Frequent readers will recall that Marla is big fan of Giada De Laurentiis and Rachael Ray. I’m a huge Alton Brown fan. (Just ask me to show you my 8′ high stack of Good Eats DVDs some time!)
mister turkey
We’ve entered a new stage in parenting: attending a class performance at school.
Emma’s class has been dilligently practicing songs for a few weeks now and on Tuesday we were able to see the results of such dedication during a “Thankful Feast.” All parents were invited to join in for music and delicious food (deli turkey and store-bought rolls).
california international auto show
Early in October Granpa Northcutt paid a visit while on a business trip and took sweet Emma to the California International Auto Show in Anaheim.
Now, I know it may seem odd to take a 3 year old to a car show but if you know Emma – and I think you do – you’ll realize that the only thing she would possibly love more is a duck exhibition.
halloween 2005
Halloween 2005 has been a much different experience than any other Halloween to date.
If you recall last year, Emma visitied four houses and then had reached her limit. This year Quackin’ Duck couldn’t get enough and we visited nearly every home in our neighborhood that had decorations inviting us to their door.
little tikes country kitchen
Thanks to persistence by Granma and Aunt Jessica (not to mention the wonders of the Internets), Emma Grace is now the proud owner of a Little Tikes Country Kitchen.
i make the rules
A direct quote from her Emma-ness earlier today:
“When I’m 30 years old like Mommy, I’ll get to make the rules. Emma will get to make the rules instead of Mommy and Daddy.”
