Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

Saturday Noah and I hung out as Kate went up to The Bronx. First task, get Noah a haircut. I can’t have some shaggy haired kid hanging off me at the playground as I try to look good talking to the moms… Here is dude before:

During:

After:

Wash down.

A quick stop at home to change clothes and then “snakes” for dinner at Cataldo’s.

Good times.

Saturday morning. Prospect Park.

Shade.

Looking for mushrooms.

Coming back with hay.

Covering up “Grave Digger”.

Friday night, after Noah’s moving performance in the school music recital,we walked over to have dinner with the Savas’.

Solid times. Thanks to Andy and Aransas for hosting.

The final post from our stay with Aunt Mindy the other weekend.

We spent a relaxing morning by the pool.

This was about as wet as Noah got.

Lunch at Merts.

Water in a coffee cup, Noah was psyched.

Fried green tomatoes.

After lunch we went to a library that was designed by the firm that Kate works for.

…but it was closed. “Summer hours”.

Crushed. Sincerely.

Fast forward a few hours. Time spent trying to cheer Kate up and pack for our flight back to NYC. As we got our stuff together and waited for the elevator, things got sappy.

Aunt Mindy and Noah at the airport…

When we got to the gate our plane was waiting for us, trying to get off the ground early to avoid a storm.

We didn’t beat the storm and so we sat on the runway for 20-30 minutes, but eventually we got off the ground and through the clouds we said good-bye to Charlotte.

When we landed, Opa was waiting to take us home.

Really grateful to Opa for the ride home, and big, big thanks to Aunt Mindy for a great weekend in Charlotte. It was nice to get a small glimpse of her life down there.

Still more flicks from Saturday. In all I shot 757 photos on Saturday, so just be psyched I could whittle it down to a few posts. I probably shot 500 flicks just on/of/near the balcony.

These colored bubbles are a disaster.

Dinner on the balcony!

Brushing teeth (You can’t do everything on the balcony).

Sunset.
