Vacation Begins
At the end of 2010 we took a jaunt to Georgia to spend the holidays with my family. Before we could go, though, we had to give Henry his birthday present: a brand new guitar!

Last year we took a thousand-mile-journey to Atlanta for Thanksgiving. (This year we stayed home.) The weather was colder than California, for sure, but the atmosphere was warmer with aunts, uncles and cousins galore.

Whenever one is in the ATL around the holidays one must visit the Pink Pig. It’s a fact. Nay, a law.

As we gear up for Swim Team 2010 I thought we’d share more photos from Emma’s swim career last year.

Easter this year was a giant feast, attended by both my family as well as my brother’s. Â Bonus guests were my sister-in-law’s parents, making this one of the largest Easters on Northcutt record.

Once upon a time there were two boys who lived in the woods. Each day after school they would play in Nickajack Creek until nearly dark. They fished. They climbed trees. They watched trains go by.

Our last visit to Broad River Bison was an exciting one. The bison were grazing in a brand new pasture! On previous visits we’d seen them in nearly-bare pasture.

There’s nothing I enjoy more than watching someone completely caught up in the moment. It could be a great musician performing, an athlete in the midst of concentration…

Marla and the kids were extra nice to me this year for my birthday.
