Our New House

Wow! Two posts in two days. A new record. Now i just have to work on adding pictures. And content.

I just wanted to give you an update on our new house.
We didnt move all the way from Japan to live in an apartment, so we now own a house in Maple Ridge BC. A little ways out of downtown, but a nice place for the kids.

Gold And Silver room for Noa: check
New flooring for Davids office: check
Kickass desk for my office: check
Furniture we couldnt afford: check
A yard that requires a fence and leveling: check

So… Lots to do, lots of money spent, but look forward to having you all visit soon.

Love David

June Update

Kiko and Noa enjoy folding some paper animals…

Umm… our kids 🙂

Hana at the beach

And finally, Hana on her magic broom…

Still alive – Now in Vancouver, Canada goodness

Wow. Longest I have ever gone without updating this website.

I will have some new pictures and excitement up within the week, and then we should be back in business.

In the meantime, we are all well, we have a new house, a new car, no money and Japan is in the final round of 16.

Yeah!

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.
