Time for our annual Easter family photo! As we all get bigger (Well, except Marla. She seems to get skinnier all the time!) we have a harder and harder time standing still. Continue reading
Halloween 2010
Halloween 2010 in the Northcutt household was amazing! Cora was old enough this year to wear a costume and enjoy walking around in it.

Prince and Princess
Emma and Henry have been playing a lot of dress-up lately using some costumes we inherited from cousin Maggie Smith. With Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella to choose from, who could ask for anything more? Continue reading
