Noa’s Diary #7: お誕生日おめでとう！ Happy Birthday Shu!

これ、ぼくのいとこの秀一朗おにいちゃん。今日で２歳になるんだ。おにいちゃんはすごいんだぞぉ。イナバウワーだってできるんだ。ほら、この写真。

This is my cousin Shuichiro. Today he is 2 years old.

He’s amazing. He can even do ice-skating tricks. look!

みんな秀おにいちゃんのイナバウワーを見て笑うけど、ぼくは本当にすごいと思ったんだ。

がんばれ、ニイチャン！お誕生日おめでとう！

Everyone laughs at him when he does that, but I think hes great.

Go Shu!!! Happy Birthday!!!

Missed a few…

Sorry! Missed a few photos from when we were in Tanegashima. Here they are…

(someone complained that Noa wasn’t showing enough love to cats, and instead was focused only on dogs (plush dogs mikey… plush).

that is not true.

I think they bonded.

Look who else bonded?

That is all.

Happy Valentines Day from Noa … in the form of video excitement

Happy Valentines Day from david and kiko and Noa.

Did you know that in Japan, women have to give chocolate to the male members in their family, male friends, boyfriends, co-workers and colleagues. Men don’t have to give anything… until White Day (March 14th of course) when these gifts of chocolate are returned in the form of candy or sweets.

Weird. Did you know that? Now you do.

For Valentine’s Day, Noa has asked us to upload some new videos. Apparently he is upset by some of the things he reads here where people accuse him of not being able to dance or play the piano. He is very sensitive. (I told him the other day that his jumping wasn’t very good and he started to cry. true story.)

So, direct from Noa, here is some video excitement.

Lindsay and Takeshi’s Wedding… in Kagawa!

We are back from an exhausting (but fun!) trip to Kagawa where we got to see a number of good friends and colleagues. We miss Kagawa and everyone there very much! Thank you so much for making the time to hang out with us everyone!! (except those of you who dragged me into the freezing cold ocean in the middle of winter. you know who you are. actually… that was a lot of fun but sucky in the I thought I was going to die kind of way.)

A big part of our trip to Kagawa was to go see our friends Lindsay and Takeshi get married! Congratulations!!!

It was there that Noa was reunited with Jim, and performed live on stage with Jim’s band LAME (which despite all that I was expecting… which was nothing… turned out to be pretty good!) [I will get a hair cut, calm down.]
