Fall Festival

Posted on August 30, 2012 by Todd

Uh, whoops! So I took some really cute pictures around Thanksgiving in 2011 and never managed to get them online. How about I address that?

First up: a trip to the San Francisco Zoo with Henry’s first grade class. It was a blast seeing him and his buds from school interact with one another. I rarely get to see them at their “day job” so watching how they talked and played was a real treat. The bug house, in particular, was a delight with them alternating, “Ewww!! Gross!” with, “Whoa, that’s so cool!” depending upon the bug.

Fancy Duds

This year we were lucky enough to have both of our major holidays (Passover and Easter) occur on the same weekend. We ate like kings and spent a lot of time enjoying traditions thousands of years old.

Can’t Stand Still

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 →

Mommy and the Monkeys

Marla and her monkeys posing before mothers day brunch at Roy’s in Newport Beach. They know how to make her smile!

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!

That Was Thanksgiving

Posted on November 28, 2010 by Todd

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. I have great memories growing up of 20+ person Thanksgiving meals – with both sets of families on the same day.

Halloween 2010

Posted on November 6, 2010 by Todd

Halloween 2010 in the Northcutt household was amazing! Cora was old enough this year to wear a costume and enjoy walking around in it. Emma and Henry had conspired to make this year a Star Wars-themed Halloween. We would have Anakin (Henry), Padme (Emma) and Yoda (Cora) trick-or-treating together, truly a Force to be reckoned with. (Har har.)

It’s A Fancy Easter

Happy Easter! The Northcutts celebrated another Easter in style this year, dressing to the 9’s and turning heads from RSM to posh Newport Beach.

Among our key accomplishments this year were getting the entire family dressed and ready for church in time for the 8 AM service. New records were set that may stand for a generation or more. Following a great service at Shepherd of the Hills UMC in Mission Viejo we headed to Newport Beach for a fantastic brunch at Roy’s.

The Beach in January

Posted on April 25, 2009 by Todd

We had an unusually warm day in January so we took the opportunity to visit the beach!

We started with a visit to Gary’s Deli in Corona Del Mar. We’ve been coming here since just before Emma was born, though the time between visits has increased. It had been at least a year since we ate at Gary’s this trip but the owner behind the register still remembered us and had our usual order punched in without us even asking. That’s service!

Christmas Time in The OC

Posted on March 14, 2009 by Todd

You’ve never seen happier children than Emma and Henry at Christmas this year. Emma, in particular, was thrilled as she received a new baby doll, replacing one that she’d inexplicably lost while playing in our yard.
