Cool pictures from Vancouver
Here are some great pictures from our new home in Vancouver…
This is Noa at his kindegarten. He brought the special “boite de surprise” and did a great job counting the days of the week, and picking his friends. I am so proud of him.
Holy crap! No updates?
Noa’s Canadian Hero story coming soon

This is what we do when our children are bad…. that and Hana is the most accident-prone Bennett on the planet.
Not exactly from Canada but I love this picture…
Noa practicing his Japanese…
Last Month in Japan
As many of you know by now, we are preparing to leave Japan.
Both our children were born here and it has been more than 5 years since we have lived anywhere else.
Lots of people to say goodbye to, and things to finish before we go!

David back in Toronto… us back in Canada?
For the first time since joining AMD, I had a business trip to Toronto. (For those of you in the know, AMD purchased ATI [Canadian Graphics Company] 3 1/2 years back.)
While I can’t go into the details just yet (doesn’t the title say it all?) it gave me a chance to catch up with some some old friends.
For those of you who I didn’t contact, here is my schedule for the last 13 days.
Tokyo → Toronto → Tokyo → Austin → Tokyo
Priority was given to those who made the trek out to see me 🙂 (Sorry!)
(You didn’t know I was back? Check out facebook or twitter.com/debicha1979)
Thanks for the nice hat Shane.
Backwards in time? Sports festival
So despite not yet having put up the Christmas photos, we just received some photos from Noa’s sports festival that the teachers their took.
My son will not be made to look ridiculous.
Unless he looks ridiculous with me.
Birthday’s in November
I am still committed to having big plans for this site… don’t you worry.
In the meantime, Hana is talking up a storm and has shown to be quite tough.
Noa asked me what a hypothesis was, and that in combination with him making the connection between people and chimpanzees/gorillas/monkeys when we were discussing evolution, I am convinced he is brilliant!
Either way, Hana had her 2nd birthday on November 9th (the keen observers may note I also turned 30!) and Noa turned 4 on the 16th.
here are some pictures…
Hana and my birthday above complete with nicely drawn presents for me…
Noa below… (note the Kiko-made cake. Yeah!)
And some family goodness for you.
November in the Park
So.. for some reason unbeknownst to Noa and I, our Zoo/Dinosaur museum combo national-holiday day turned into a day at the park.
Noa “loved” the big slide, if ramming him down the slide as he screamed at me that he was going to die.
So far so good…
Getting there… (Noa really really enjoyed his ride on the train by the way. Hana, not so much.) That is Hana’s cute pose by the way.
Oh wait… apparently I didn’t get a good shot of him almost spastically throwing himself off the slide.
Once we started moving he seemed to enjoy himself.
Note Hana’s slide pose. I think she actually believed she was going down the slide.
She wasn’t.
