May Update

Switching to a once a month update while we acclimatize 🙂

This is what we do when our children are bad…. that and Hana is the most accident-prone Bennett on the planet.

Not exactly from Canada but I love this picture…

Noa practicing his Japanese…

Where are we? Being robbed. That’s where.

Quick update.

Moved to Vancouver.

Like Vancouver.

Got robbed in Vancouver. Have no wedding ring, engagement ring, Dad’s watch, documents, cameras and computers.

Sad.

Feeling better but still no stuff.

Everyone is coming on April 18th, and once we get a camera back, we should be in business!

Expect some updates soon! In the meantime, follow my twitter if you need daily updates.

Leaving Japan

Will write more when I know how I feel about this.

Can’t wait to be back in Canada with my friends and family… but really sad.

Noa and Hana also miss our house.

Last Month in Japan

As many of you know by now, we are preparing to leave Japan.

Both our children were born here and it has been more than 5 years since we have lived anywhere else.

Lots of people to say goodbye to, and things to finish before we go!

WIll update more soon…

She looks like one of those North Korea karaoke singers…

The halfies…

And goodbye to some good friends…

And some ice cream for good measure…

Noa’s return to modeling

So the last time we took Noa to a model shoot, he ran around, screamed, cried and ripped up the set. No exaggeration.

It ended with the producers whispering to each other “he is really cute, but I don’t think we can manage him.”

Before we leave Japan (which by the way is happening sooner than later!) Kiko wanted to give him one more shot.

Here are the results:

Other than complaining it was too bright, things went pretty well…! Photo shoot pictures to come later this month, but for now here are some shots taken by Kiko.

No explanations

Pretty sure this picture doesn’t need to much explainin’.

He has a severe case of the ghey.

I like his foot the best.

David back in Toronto… us back in Canada?

For the first time since joining AMD, I had a business trip to Toronto. (For those of you in the know, AMD purchased ATI [Canadian Graphics Company] 3 1/2 years back.)

While I can’t go into the details just yet (doesn’t the title say it all?) it gave me a chance to catch up with some some old friends.

For those of you who I didn’t contact, here is my schedule for the last 13 days.

Tokyo → Toronto → Tokyo → Austin → Tokyo

Priority was given to those who made the trek out to see me 🙂 (Sorry!)

(You didn’t know I was back? Check out facebook or twitter.com/debicha1979)

Thanks for the nice hat Shane.

Christmas 2009

Yes, I understand this is late. But better late then never, right? … RIGHT?

We have Kiko made Christmas dinner, Kiko made Gingerbread House (amazing!), Kiko made stockings, some girl-on-girl action, some creepy Santa’s (NOT creepy. That is Barry he is great!) and children with lots of presents. What more can you ask for!?!

.. Cute pictures of Hana? Done.

This may or may not be in response to those who said this blog was Noa-heavy…

Piano + Harmonica

On my way back to Toronto as I write this. I was hoping to do a large update before I left, alas it seems that I can only find the time to do short sporadic picture updates. That being said you can always take a look at my other home on the web. davidbbennett.com

While going through my pictures I realized that Kiko has become an awesome photographer. No post-processing at this time, but she has really got a talent for the frame and excellent timing.

I also bought my kids Pianicas. What are these things called in English? Piano + Harmonica = Pianica.

You are welcome.
