Best Halloween Ever

Noa is really into Transformers so we got him an Optimus Prime costume (Generation 2) and got me an old-skool Optimus costume.

The best halloween ever.

Franz and the kids in Vancouver

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.

Family Update

Pictures from our visit to Toronto!

and dressing up our kids as animals for good measures

and one more family…

May Update

Switching to a once a month update while we acclimatize 🙂

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!

WIll update more soon…

She looks like one of those North Korea karaoke singers…

The halfies…

And goodbye to some good friends…

And some ice cream for good measure…

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…
