Off to Canada – Stand upping, Sit Upping

We are on our way to Canada. Looking forward to seeing good friends and family.Unfortunately the wedding we were supposed to attend was postponed, but it will still be nice to get back there. NOA UPDATE:Now is slowly catching on with the English language. He uses it a lot with me and tries very hard.Currently he looks at Hana and says “daddy, hana’s sit upping!” or “Hana’s stand upping”!Very cute and shows that he has the ING form down…Miss you all and thanks for coming!

A day at the train museum and guns

We went to the Railway Museum on Saturday. Noa had a great time, but was a little over-excited.Thought it would be a good chance to give you some pictures.Hana is quite cute, and Noa still answers me only in Japanese (although he is clearly understanding what I tell him in English.)We hope to have some new videos up soon!2008032214043620080322140436and some Hana…20080322140305    followed by pictures of me shooting guns… in Texas.
