Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

We started Mother’s Day with a Dad dominated soccer practice. Noah was slow to get into it.

Savannah.

Enzo on sticker duty.

Surprising mom with flowers after her yoga class.

Cleaned up and then on the bus to meet The Urban fam.

We ordered rainbows for Kate and Nana T.

…and lots of sun.

…and a couple of photographers to document the occasion.

Gifts.

Dessert.

Then down to Red Hook for the BWAC show that Nana T. helps to put together.

Noah was psyched because a lot of the good work was on the floor.

It was really hard to keep Noah away from these crayons.

This is a face, drooling or throwing up, not sure.

Some of the prints Nana T. was showing.

Filthy boy.

So Kate has a new phone… I think you’ll be seeing a lot of it…

This woman rescues birds, she showed Noah her newest patient.

Happy Mother’s Day to Kate and Nana T.! Thanks for all they do!

After Noah beat his Easter basket up, we walked over to Nana T. and Opa’s.

Noah took a spill. This is where it hurt.

Spring.

Uncle Tim.

Makeshift doorbell.

Showing Declan the firetruck we are letting him use.

Lunch.

After dessert.

Rushing to catch Declan’s Christening, after getting the start time mixed up.

The show was already in progress… John (Declan’s Godfather) lighting the baptism candle.

Declan with his Aunt and Godmother, Donna.

With the grandparents.

The after party.

Emmett and Lisa offered their house up for Noah’s Birthday/Labor Day Party with The Urban’s, and you know we took them up on it. Here was my view from the grill…

Declan was having a good time.

Party!

Cake! (Made by Kate)

Nicole with the boys.

Presents!

Rescuing animals, so hot right now!

Declan relaxed in knowing that the following weekend would be his christening and he would show up “mr. seersucker shorts”.

Thanks to Emmett and Lisa for letting us make a mess of their house, and thanks to everyone for the great presents.

This is what Noah woke up to (Darpan, Ryan, Mark, and Dennis).

Every summer, Ryan gets his friends together and we all go to a Brooklyn Cyclones game. This year he had 53 tickets spoken for. Impressive. Ryan’s name even made it up on the scoreboard, appropriately under “Our Lady of Miraculous Medal”.

Sleepy dude waking up.

A little too much cheering, too soon after a nap.

Uncle Tim joined us too.

We ran into this dude.

Then we ran into Oliver who was beating up an ice cream cone.

Oliver’s proud dad and little sister.

T-shirt toss!

Ryan trying to out cheer the cheerleaders.

Ryan’s cheering worked, The Cyclones won!

A victory photo for Ryan and Ellen.

Lou and Avi.

The seagull doing some last minute, back-alley autographing.

Later Uncle Tim.

Thanks to Ryan for getting everyone together!
