Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

Emmett and Lisa offered their house up for Noah’s Birthday/Labor Day Party with The Urban’s, and you know we took them up on it. Here was my view from the grill…

Declan was having a good time.

Party!

Cake! (Made by Kate)

Nicole with the boys.

Presents!

Rescuing animals, so hot right now!

Declan relaxed in knowing that the following weekend would be his christening and he would show up “mr. seersucker shorts”.

Thanks to Emmett and Lisa for letting us make a mess of their house, and thanks to everyone for the great presents.

The Sunday before Labor Day Noah and I had to find something to do while Kate baked a cake so we linked up with The Savas’ and went to The Children’s Museum.

Mango lassi at lunch.

Things got a little sloppy at The Brooklyn Botanic Garden after lunch.

Derby (aka Derbils!!)

Good times.

A couple Friday’s ago, Noah’s day care class had a little party. An emotional affair mainly for the parents and teachers of course. I was in charge of balloons.

More of me with the balloons.

Noah’s teacher, Ms. Michelle, put together a video recapping the year.

Then there was food.

Mia Mae’s brother Sebastian was there…

…and he was ready to swipe Noah’s cupcake.

Zion’s hand, caught up in a few balloons.

Panda “Monster” (there are monsters everywhere lately).

Sneaky panda monster, just waiting to pounce.

Mommy panda monster.

Super sketchy.

Thanks to Noah’s teachers, Ms. Michelle, Ms. Ella, Ms. Alva, Ms. Jackie (Ms. Tiffany, Mr. Logan, Mr. Robert…) for a great year.

Still posting about Maine. This was our second-to-last full day and the clouds were low so we went for a short hike that someone had recommended. 200 ft. in, Kate already found a place to sit.

Asticou Map House.

We took a different trail back that went up over a small peak, Elliot Mountain, then as we made our way down the trail we cut through Thuya Garden.

Through the door to the garden, the landscape completely changed.

Back at the house.
