Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

After all her presents were opened, and the birthday party was finished, Noah’s Auntie Mindy had to head back to Charlotte.  She is so helpful and fun to have around, and we were all bummed to see her go.

I didn’t get it at first, but Noah is totally making fun of me with these wrinkled up faces.  Everytime I ask Kate if that’s what he’s doing she tells me that she loves my “crow’s feet“.  That’s not even an answer!!!

Careful how much you make fun of me Noah, you have my genes, and those mock crow’s feet you are making seem to fit you pretty well.

On Friday we set out for NC.  Our plan was to take our time, spend the night in Richmond, VA, and then stroll into Avon, NC on Saturday.

First we had to get the van packed, but Opa was on it…

A late lunch.  Noah had a few bites of a sour pickle.

Making it to the hotel.

I’m going to PA this weekend, Noah and Kate are going to Michigan…  We’ll all be back together soon, just in time for me to go off to L.A. for a week.

“Be nice to mom this weekend Noah.”

Happy Fourth of July!!!

Everyone seemed to be getting antsy.  Especially my dad and Noah.  They wanted out of the hospital.  My dad had been there for a week, Noah was going on his 3rd day.

“Magic sleigh bed!!  Take us home!!!”

“Dad, this thing’s broke, how about you take me home.”

“Nana…”

Noah and I went for a walk, he fell asleep and when I turned around I saw people stalking us.

Finally getting to kick that liquid diet for some real food.

Just as we start getting ready to break out of the hospital, it starts to get dark and rain (again).

Finally free, we have to part ways.  NYC calls, but hopefully we can get up to NH and see how my dad is doing soon.

After leaving the hospital, Noah slept for 2 1/2 hours.
