Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and … Happy Holidays?

As per usual, you should all be receiving your Christmas Cards and/or New Years Cards (Japan) any day now…

I believe one of our traditions is to post the cards online a few days before you receive them, thereby ruining the surprise.

Anyways, make sure to put it on your fridge, and LET US KNOW IS YOU DO NOT RECEIVE ONE!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Love always, 

Dave, Kiko, Noa and Hana

2008 New Years Card

davidandkiko.com -> vidb.net?

It’s been a long time since we only had 1 post in a month. Between a trip to Austin, Texas for me, and a trip back to Tanegashima for the rest of the family things have been crazy.

In bigger news, because of all the problems with davidandkiko.com, I have decided to move the site to vidb.net which I know shouldn’t attract too many crazies.

vidb.net -> d@vidb.net (davidb.net, get it??)

The move is semi permanent, but will work on moving back to davidandkiko when possible.

Thanks so much and in return here are lots of pictures.

BTW:　Noa is really really iinto Darth Vader. Because he’s black.

davidandkiko.com HAPPY 4 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!

Yes, davidandkiko.com is now 4 years old. It is older than all of our children put together, and has been through 9 major revisions.

If you look through the archives you can kind of see what we have done since coming to Japan, how we have changed and hopefully keeps everyone as close as we wish they could be.

While there have been ups and downs in the number of posts and comments, we are still getting most of the regular visitors visiting, and have had at least 2 posts per month for 4 years. The average sees about 4 to 5 updates per month.

Kiko, myself, Noa and Hana hope that you keep on visiting and that you keep tabs on us, and be sure to let us know how you are doing as well.

I can be reached at e-mail davidbennett1979@gmail.com, or the usual suspects (flickr, facebook, gmail chat, msn etc….).

Thanks for visiting and will keep this going as long as I can.

At least until Noa and Hana are super pissed off at all the ridiculous pictures and comments I post about them.

Love,

David, Kiko, Noa and Hana

Injuries and Halloween

It was bound to happen! Despite being pretty perfect, Hana was injured today. We were at a friends house and she pulled a cup of tea over and it fell on her hands.

Or we were teaching her only to speak when spoken to… or something.

Either way, she is all bandaged up, we are all a little traumatized.

Could have been a lot worse and she doesn’t seem to have been injured (the bandages are a precaution.)

Now still likes to test the theory that she is not in any pain by trying to ride her around like a horse when she is crawling.

This is the costume Noa wears when he is tormenting Hana.
