Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

After a great night’s sleep, we had a little breakfast before going to get some groceries.  This photo can serve as a kind of “before” photo…

…because after I got back from a grocery run with Emmett, Noah was running in the driveway and took a dive.

Nana dried up the tears with strawberries.

Then Noah got mad at us for trying to clean up his wound and ran into the corner of the cabinets and got a cut on the left side of his head, more strawberries.

Luckily, he’s alright.

The pool is fine too.

Intercom.

World Cup Final.

Post nap bruiser.

Birthday party for Emmett.

Bratty birthday boy with silly string.

The poorly influenced younger brother.

The battered and bruised birthday boys nephew who is nervous about all this silly string stuff.

More pool.

Kate hoping tomorrow can be less eventful.

Father’s Day at Emmett and Lisa’s, Noah got himself psyched up with a nap in the car.

Emmett’s foot, Noah’s flip flop.

Kat.

Aunt Lisa.

More sweat.

The Uncles, and Angus.

The illustration on the tie is of a wolf in sheep’s clothing, given to a lawyer…

Noah was psyched on the card Opa got for his birthday.

On Saturday the whole Urban clan drove out to (Noah’s Uncle) Matt’s house.  The party was a mix of nice-to-see-you, how-was-your-birthday, here-is-your-christmas-present, my-isn’t-the-weather-lovely, Happy-Mothers-Day!!  Good times.

Noah started the party right by smacking his face on the pavement.

The bruise on Noah’s face was better than the cut on Matt’s hand.  The night before he kept washing (on accident) a glass that had just shattered.

Chilling with Uncle Tim.

Admiring Matt’s odd toy collection.

Matt’s friend Pete.  Creepy.

Tim missed Christmas, so when it got cold Emmett gave him his gifts.

Insert me into this photo somewhere.

Thanks for having us out Matt!!  And thanks to everyone for the birthday cards and gifts.

“You still feeling sick Noah?”

PSYCH!!  Lets go open some more presents!!!

Out to Emmett and Lisa’s we go for Urban Family Christmas!!

Gotta make sure the tree is still perfect.

Gotta make sure we get some attention from Nana.

Gotta catch up with Uncle Matt.

Then we gotta get to these presents.

An amazing chair from Nana and Opa for Noah.

High five Opa.

Wasted, all those gifts…

Gotta steal some snacks to get the strength back up.

Time to get all these gifts together and head home.

Thanks Emmett and Lisa for hosting, and thanks to everyone for the thoughtful gifts and good times.

Some post nap love from everyone.  First Nana.

Then Aunt Lisa.

Then Uncle Emmett.

Then Nathan.

Then more love from Uncle Emmett…

Then awkward bottle feeding.

Then it’s time to go home and sleep all this love off.

Thanks to Nana and Opa for going all out and cooking a perfect Thanksgiving meal.
