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.

Tough year for Birthdays in the Urban Clan. Kate and Uncle Bugs’ Birthday was on Mother’s Day, and Opa’s Birthday fell on Father’s Day this year. To celebrate all this craziness, we crashed in on Emmett (who was celebrating his first Father’s Day), Lisa (Who has to wait a whole year for her first Mother’s Day), and 9 day old Declan.

Lil’ Napper.

Declan!

Urban men.

This is the moment when Emmett figured it all out…

Emmett’s pretty good with those tongs.

Meanwhile in the backyard, the hero of our story was waging a battle of his own.

The happy (sleepy) couple.

Thanks to Emmett and Lisa for having us all over.

I also want to thank the place where I dropped of this computer to be fixed last Monday. What was going to be a 2-3 day repair turned into a stressful and agonizing 6 days.

Welcome to the world Declan James Urban. Born at 2:24 am and he’s 7 lbs 1 oz and 21 inches long. Aunt Lisa says that “He is perfect in every way but he is in the NICU for low blood sugar and will remain there for at least 48 hours”.

We are psyched to meet him.

(photos coming soon.)

On Sunday afternoon, before heading out to Emmett and Lisa’s, we wished Nana Holt a Happy Mother’s Day via video conference.

After a quick nap on the drive out, Noah had some business to take care.

In other news, Noah and I came up with a new nickname for Uncle Matt. We are calling him “Uncle Bugs” (he works for the USDA looking for microscopic insects in potato fields). Here Noah is asking Uncle Bugs about this dead bee he found.

Opa got dragged into bug hunting.

A gift (for Noah) from Aunt Lisa.

While we were celebrating Mother’s Day, why not celebrate some birthdays too.

Thanks for having us all over Emmett and Lisa, and thanks to everyone for the great birthday gifts and cards.

This one’s for you, Daddy

Hey, thanks Tim

Angus needs to read up on pregnancy too?

The New & Improved Urban Family

Ready to go yet, Kate?

How can 2 little shoes be so hard?
