New lens, New Video Camera … new stuff!

With the help of my more camera-able friends, we are now in possession of a new video camera (Sanyo Xacti HD) and a new lens for the Canon Rebel (100mm).

 

The Xacti allows us to take video and copy it right to the computer instead of taking forever to encode. Yeah! So expect more pictures.

The lens is Kiko’s domain, but she seems really excited.

Here are some pictures to keep you busy in the meantime…

More Noa’s 1st Birthday Action

So … we had a little party for Noa here in Tokyo! It was held a few days after Noa’s actual birthday, and some of our friends (both with babies and without!) came to visit. We also opened some of Noa’s presents from you all (Thank you!!) and we will now post some pictures where Noa decided he felt like looking at the camera.

happy birthday noa!

I wish we could have put up pictures of all the nice stuff Noa got, but unfortunately (fortunately?) he gets very excited over his new presents and it makes for some retarded pictures.

That is all.
