Noa is a star

In all seriousness, I have recently informed Kiko that when we move to Tokyo, Noa will have to pay his own room and board (hopefully Kiko’s too!) through baby modelling gigs. Yes… he is that cute. 😛
So anyways, Kagawa (where we live, remember?) has this magazine called TJ Kagawa. Noa has recently made his publication debut there. It is not very exciting (they just photographed him at his play group [play group??]) and they printed his name as a girl (with the girl suffix -chan) … but it’s a start…

(from Kiko)　のあくんが行っている育児サークルに雑誌の取材が来て、6月号のTJ　KAGAWAに希空くんの写真が載りました！

It says: “Bennett Noa-chan [girl’s suffix]. We are having fun at this playgroup.”

neat. (except for the girl part. perhaps Noa has already caught the gay?)

May Picture Roundup & News

So anyways. Apart from our cherry blossom background, people seem quite pleased with the new site design. I still have a few photo albums to get up (ie. a whole new photo gallery) and a few changes here and there, but so far so good.

We will be leaving our home in Chunan/Manno on August 5th. We will head back to Canada for 2 weeks of excitement. I think I mentioned it here, but I was (very!) fortunate to receive the Japanese MEXT Research Scholarship and will be studying at Gakushuin University (学習院) in Tokyo. That begins in October. We will have to find a new place to live, and it looks like Noa will be a city boy for the next year and a half or so.

Anyways, now that the news is out of the way… People have been asking about how big Noa is getting and what he can do.  Kiko has compiled some pictures of Noa’s brillance.

Noa is cute  Toothbrush Noa can stand Noa can pose Noa is very cute
That is all.

Coolness…

Look – it’s Tanegashiman!

You know the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, right!? They are based on a reoccurring series of 5-person -colour coded-group-fighting-team-show (sentai) that has been airing in Japan for the past 30 years. Every year or so the group, the group’s name and abilities change (which Mighty Morphin Power Rangers did by keeping the same group but adding “new vehicles and costumes” etc.) and get’s a new name. It is usually something “-man” or “-ranger.”

Someone thought it was a good idea to promote Tanegashima (Kiko’s island, remember?) and have “Tanegashi-man” a group of super heroes that run around the island. neat.

davidandkiko.com 5.0 – Post Styles

So welcome to the test style post for the Sawchuk Scheme, for K2. I think its great as its designed to emphasize the content over the style of the site. Anyway, there is a lot of dummy text here, where possible I have indicated the style used. Feel free to look at the HTML source if confused. Anyway, so then after I earned my first million, I learned how to speak latin! Ulla hendrerit massa sit amet nunc. Donec pede.
