Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

Snow time.

Auntie Mindy brought out the 4-wheeler and Noah wanted a ride.

Careful in these woods, people are out to get you.

(The next few photos are by Kate)

Snowboarding, so hot right now.

Helping Aunt Mindy pack.

Bath time with Nana.

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.

Birthday pancakes with wild blueberries.

Wild 3 year olds doing dances for their Nana.

Wild birthday deliveries (they do that in Maine?) from generous Aunt Mindy.

WILD!

It was so wild at the house, that Kate and I went for a hike. Just the two of us. I’ll recap a little.

Our car, growing smaller.

The hike getting steeper.

The view getting better.

The sap, getting sappier (and the bugs, to the left of Kate, getting hungrier).

Our post hike lunch.

Back at the house, wild boy grew another tail.

At the playground in town.

Dinner.

The typical mid-meal distractions.

Dessert!

Presents!

Ahh.. Vacation. Here is part one of how it went down.

Lunch time exercise on our drive to Kennebunkport, ME two Friday’s ago.

In New Hampshire we hit some serious rain.

Luckily our campsite was completely dry.

Noah watching something on my phone while we ate dinner.

Leaving dinner.

Back at the campsite, Noah in the sleeping bag that Aunt Mindy got him for his birthday.

How did Noah’s first night in the tent go? I’ll tell you tomorrow…
