Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

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.

Saturday morning The Deaner’s came over, and after saying goodbye to Kate (who went to Aunt Lisa’s baby shower), we walked up to The Brooklyn Flea.

“Flea” food.

After “the Flea” we had a little playground time.

Then we met up with some friends in Williamsburg.

Al, Sam, and Al’s son Rocco.

Supermom.

Sam and Joshua.

After the bar, and without a nap, we went back to our neighborhood for Mia Mae’s birthday party.

Spaced out kids. Juice and crayons couldn’t get them going.

Audrey and her dad Carlos, handing out high-fives.

This is when both Mia Mae and Noah lost it… too much attention/lack of naps led to meltdowns so Noah and I left for home.

Great to see The Deaners, and Happy Birthday Mia Mae! Thanks for inviting us!

Last Saturday Noah and I went to City Ice Pavilion in Long Island City for Chris’ Birthday Party.

Chris and his friends.

I wore my special ice skating tights, to help me jump higher.

Miles brought some friends too.

Noah wasn’t into the skates at all, and it took a lot of coaxing. Our first go was pretty wobbly so we took a break and had some lunch.

With renewed strength, lil’ dude was a little more adventurous. Tim skated with him so I could get some flicks.

Cake time.

Patience.

After cake we went back to the rink and Noah, hopped up on sugar, kept pushing my hands away as I tried to skate with him. With my hands free, I couldn’t help but take some flicks with my phone…

…and a quick vid, before/as I got yelled at.

Happy Birthday Chris! Thanks for inviting us!

On a bus!

At a birthday party for Isaac’s Mom, Deb.

Kid friendly pizza.

Caique came through.

Happy Birthday Deb!  Thanks for inviting us!

Saturday night, after visiting the playground, we had a party to get to.

…and friends to play with.

Savannah!

Look at this AMAZING collection of bibs that the kids wore during dinner.

Cake!

Happy Birthdayyyy Ms. Aransasssss…

Things got wild.

Sappy good-byes.

Ok kids, enough.

Happy Birthday Aransas! Thanks for inviting us over.
