大事件！
先週末、なぜか急にDavidが「マフィンを作る」 と言い出し、見事なブルーベリーマフィンを作りました！David初のお菓子作りでしたが、おいしかった。 😛 普段料理などまったくしないので、私はかなりびっくりでした。
(Do you want a translation?) It basically says:
“David is a better muffin maker then I can ever hope to be. by: Kiko”
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.
That is all.
2nd Year Anniversary
Happy Anniversary to Kiko and I!
Don’t get too excited, but today marks our 2nd year anniversary. Thanks to all of our friends and family for your support. Please keep visiting to see how we are doing and what we are up to.
There might be a few pictures as well… maybe… if you’re lucky.
Love, David & Kiko.
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.
Speaking of 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. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Nunc dolor. Duis dui. Aliquam erat volutpat. Suspendisse nulla. Aenean vehicula lacinia lacus. Nulla facilisi. Fusce tincidunt nibh ut libero.

davidandkiko 5.0 – coming soon
As you can see, we are currently under construction. In the next few days the following should be online:
- a new look
- revamped photo albums
- more features
- … excitement.
I made that last one up.
Golden Week #2
A few more pictures of Noa spending time with Kiko’s family in Tanegashima for Golden Week. They love him, he loves them, it was super.
Noa Closeups #2
yes… I am still working on the new version.
yes…. it will come out soon.
yes…. I miss my shoutbox just as much as you do.
and yes… oh yes… I am still a photographic genius (who sometimes takes credit for Kiko or Lee’s photos)
(Why more Noa pictures? because he is cute. and he is mine. besides, people really liked the original closeups so i thought you might enjoy these as well…)
(ps. that may or may not be me in the first picture. regardless, i took the picture.) 
Golden Week
We are now back in Kagawa after a trip to Kiko’s island (Tanegashima) for Golden Week. Noa is fatterer, I am tired, Kiko got a haircut, and we had a great time!
Noa got to spend time with his cousins (Hina, Kana, and Shu), his Aunt (Mie) and Uncle (Takao), and his grandparents.
I would have more for you, but (as my last post stated!) I am hard at work on the new website. Expect good things soon. In the meantime, perhaps you can get as excited about this as I am.
(Our shoutbox is currently offline because I can’t seem to stop the spam. Give me a few days!)
Dare I say it?
I bet no one remembers that I am currently working on a new version of davidandkiko.com … been working on it for awhile. (more than a year!)
Dare I say that it is almost done? Spam has been destroying our shoutbox above, so I have had to focus on that the last couple of days… but… (and this is a big but!) hopefuly I will have a new version out by the end of this week. Look out for it.
In the meantime, here is a picture of Noa. He has recently learned to roll over and fell asleep while stuck in his rollover position.
