May is Over
We had a surprising number of planned activities in May. Whether the Nanny Goats Gruff play or the “fitness day” at school, pictured here, swimming in the pool and dressing like princes and princesses, we seemed busy.
It's a tiny miracle that you can put in a pot!

I’ve updated a side-by-side I did in late 2004 to include The New Northcutt. Do you have any predictions on what the gender might be?

The house was mobbed by cute girls and the air was thick with giggles and dancing. Emma’s 6th birthday party was a princess party, a departure from past non-girlie themes which have included NASCAR and ducks.

The GameSpy Tech team took a little team-building trip to Catalina Island. We departed from Newport Beach and spent the day living the lazy island life.

Children pick up your bad habits quickly. I’m glad they also seem to pick up the good ones. Emma and Henry ran their first “race” this 4th of July after I finished the Freedom Run 10K in Ladera Ranch.

Marla and I took a break from the kids to attend the Coachella music festival this year. It was my second trip to the three day fest and Marla’s first. Much music was heard and much fun was had.

We had a nice, wet January and February and the spring was gorgeous. Lush green on all of the hills and flowers popping out all over. We went on a bike ride across the street in O’Neill Park just as…

Emma’s first school play was held a few weeks ago. The kindergarten class had been practicing for weeks to bring us a spectacular production of The Nanny Goats Gruff. Take a look at the video and let me know if…
I’m finally getting around to converting video from some of Emma’s various performances and recitals this year. (Thanks for making it easy, Mac!) First up is her gymnastics performance for earlier this year.

Emma is getting to the age where we just can’t hide Easter eggs well enough. She blazed through the yard intent on her mission of beating Henry and finding as many eggs as possible. Poor Henry was no match.
