Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

Sunday morning, opening a gift from Auntie Mindy (Thanks!).

Then we met up with this girl…

…and Nana and Opa for a trip into the city to see Santa.

The sun was bright and the line was long..

But we made it inside right before Santa took a break.

Derbs!

This was Noah’s 4th year visiting Santa at ABC, the excitement showed on his face.

Faker.

Then, a little something for me.

This might be the year…

Grampa’s 26th day in the hospital, he’s out now but you get to relive our time there.

Taking a walk outside.

The slow ones.

Noah hitting Grampa with a snowball.

Aunt Mindy took some fire too.

First snowman of the season.

Cold!

Grampa sneaking up on Kate who was taking care of some work.

Back to the hotel.

It the 25th day of Grampa’s 28 days in the hospital, but our third day visiting him. He’s happy to be out, but you get to relive the memories here.

Grampa was out for a walk when we got to the hospital.

Sky was ridiculous. A sunset with fog? Too much.

Yesterday, after 28 days in the hospital, Grampa Holt went home. Such a relief. Thanks to everyone who was pulling for him, and props to Auntie Mindy for spending the last week sleeping on a cot in Grampa’s room, helping out where she could and keeping everyone updated.

Flashback to last Wednesday morning when we woke up in White River Junction, VT. We battled a freak snowstorm in hopes of helping Grampa battle the boredom of bouncing around hospital rooms for almost a month.

Grampa’s last room had the best view.

The doctors encouraged Grampa to walk as much as he could, so that we did.

Grampa’s dob kit. A sign he was going to get out soon, you can’t keep a player down.

I got Noah some new boots. I saw them and couldn’t resist, my wallet opening itself and spewing the money necessary. I put up little fight.

Test drive.

Water-resistant is not the same as water-proof.

Hair cut.

While Noah was in the chair, the weather turned.

Back home, dried off, psyched to open the mail.

Auntie Mindy, generous as always. Thank you!
