Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

It was that time of year. Time to stop by and let the nurses and doctors poke and prod.

Waiting on the nurse.

Waiting on the doctor…

A shot for each arm… but everything checked out. Noah is 38.3 inches tall and weighs 30 lbs.

The reward.

Lego truck explosion.

Wild Wednesday morning up in Errol NH at L.L. Cote. checking out the famous albino moose.

This place is great.

The mission was to get Noah his first fishing pole.

Flashback to my childhood, my dad tying knots for everyone and getting our hooks out of trees, weeds, rocks, and stumps.

Worms.

First fish!

Later we went up to Milan Hill State Park to check into the yurt we rented for the night.

I never want to leave.

Carrying a wounded hiker through the park.

Nana came up after work and made dinner.

I never want to leave.

Dirtiest dude.

Talking to Aunt Mindy.

My parents brought the filthy one (Noah) down to their house for the night.

Star watching.

I never want to leave.

Home.

Milan Hill State Park.

Finding things dropped on purpose.

Grandparenting.

The state park was closed for a little while and when they eventually reopened it they made it more camper friendly. This is one of 4 Yurts they constructed along with 6 (?) campsites with platforms for tents.

Free continental breakfast.

Back at the compound, checking out Nina and Jaspers pond.

A “natural break” at the playground where I went to elementary school.

Jaycee!

Ice cream with no wipes = photo killer.

Later, trapping wild animals.

Dinner.

It was good to be home.

A relaxing stroll through the park, on the way to Alex and Logan’s Party. We are so lucky to live close to Prospect Park were we can let Noah scoot away, gliding quickly down the cobblestone paths…

Until he see’s a big dog in the tunnel, loses control of his scooter and lands in the only puddle left in the park.

And it smelled horrible.

Half a pack of wipes and a change of clothes later, this is how we all felt.

Meanwhile, at the party Mia Mae’s brother Sebastian was getting his face painted (and still recovering from a nasty gash on his forehead).

Amelie.

The park “uniform”.

Alex and Logan’s Mom’s hired the best balloon dude ever. Seriously.

Next level (Mia Mae with Hello Kitty).

Nooria and her dual tiara’s.

Balloon dude.

Mia Mae’s Dad Stephane with his mermaid.

Rockets.

…

I wrote about the balloon dude right?

The frenzy.

Logan (left) with a rocket ship and Alex (right) with an octopus.

The crew.

The boys took turns blowing out the candles. Logan wasn’t as bummed as he looks in the picture on the left.

Thanks to Brooke and Peg for inviting us!

Running late to celebrate Aransas’ birthday!

Savannah making the rounds, making sure everyone is comfortable.

Creme filled beignet as cake.

Chester, Savannah, and Noah helping out.

Race!

Haircut time.

Much better.
