Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

After spending the night in PVD we had to pack it up and get back to NYC so Kate could get her background checked for her new job.

Prancer…

Fast forward 4 hours and multiple trips to unload the car.

Noah snuck up the stairs empty handed.

Fast forward 6 hours and one passed background check and we were opening another present from Aunt Mindy that came in the mail.

Great book.  Thanks Min!

Like I said before, the rain hung over NH for most of our vacation up there, but we did get one day that we pretty near perfect and we jumped right on it with a quick hike.

…an hour or so from the sound of traffic.

I turned us around right when it was starting to get good..

Sunday morning, the day of Noah’s NH birthday party, we woke up to rain.

Since we couldn’t just have the party on the lawn, we relocated to my Dad’s new garage.  Nana, Aunt Mindy, and Kate spent the morning decorating.

The remains of Saturday night’s fire.

Darn rain.

Noah’s first present of the day, a fire chief outfit…

…to go with the fire fighter theme!  Check out the great cakes Noah’s Aunt Mindy made!!

My Uncle Wayne got into the spirit.

Kaelyn and Jaycee.

This one is a real nice and thoughtful gift…

Noah asked my Nana to hold a gift for him.

Tagging the floor of Grampa’s garage.

One more look at those cakes before we tore into them.

Abigail and her Aunt Lori.

Abigail, making sure everyone has a fire hat.

“What a bunch”

Thanks to (Noah’s) Aunt Mindy, Nana, and Grampa for planning, decorating, cake-making, and hosting.  Thanks to everyone else for coming over, up, and down for Noah’s birthday party!!!

Up early, smelling the flowers on our way to the Farmer’s Market.

Maybe also eating the flowers..  probably not a good idea though.

Maybe some early morning “shot blocking”..

Back to the car, coffee in hand.

Euro baby.

Papa Deaner getting business done, as seen though my sunglasses.

Papa Deaner getting the shot and about to dip his new phone in the water.  This may be the last photo taken before it stopped working.

Getting in some digging.

Random dude.

Time to get lunch.

Noah, getting to know his relatives better with help from the intertubes.
