Had our first real family vacation (other than Guam) to a foreign country.
Here are the highlights… working on a new site which should have more than just pictures of kids… be excited.
all things d@vidb
So … umm.. apparently there is one thing more frightening than Tickle me Elmo… fireworks.
Noa has been scared of fireworks since he was born, and now at 3 1/2, no exceptions.
He freaks out. Screams, cries, runs away (almost gets hit by a bus) and hangs out in McDonalds.
Here is a family picture taken before the happening.
Apparently every day on the way home from Kindergarten he picks up a leaf and calls it “Happa-chan”.
(leaf-term of endearment.)
He takes it home, washes his hands and the leaf, eats dinner with the leaf, and then sleeps with the lead.
He also sleeps with his care bare and alien.
he is special.
Noa with his swim cap…
Just got home from a trip up north for some snow-action and onsen-excitement.
A great break for everyone, and Noa got to hang out with his French friend Assayez? I don’t know how to spell it.
Noa spent the majority of the time spelling things and making up words. He is in to that.
Hana also has a magic propensity to fall in the most spectacular manner. It doesn’t matter how she should go down, her body will twist and contort to ensure maximum damage.
This weekend she fell off the bed nose first and slipped by the pool and banged her forehead.
Nice. That’ll teach ‘er.
and now for some excitement
Noa at his “graduation ceremony”
Noa with more than just a little bit of teh ghey
some nice Hana
Why does Noa hate us? And our house? And cleansliness?
Thanks for the Halloween Costume Trace!
No comments about the clothes.. we were a physician family.
Clearly.
Goggy passed away today at the age of 97.
Will write more later, and want to thank everyone for the kind words.
A big thank you to Scott for the following
so sorry to hear. i know she was such a wonderful person… always talked to me when i came by, asking about my life and was genuinely interested. she lived a really long and full life and always seemed happy and positive.
I wish I could have been there with her.
Goggy played a huge role in Shane and I growing up.
Or so he says.
Noa and Hana get along very well.
Hana likes to do what Noa is doing. Which is usually something Power Ranger-related, or throwing herself off stairs in attempt to copy his jumping.
We went to the dinosaur museum and Noa had a great time.
I like to twitter. debicha1979
Yeah!
And for those who are counting, we will be bak in Canada at the end of April!
Yeah!
People are asking for updates. Hana can now give kisses. Noa is getting stubborn but is really sensitive. He wants you to ask him what is wrong…
(In case you haven’t noticed, these updates are more for me than you!) I will get back to writing for you shortly.
Kiko has also been going crazy making Hana clothes… Pictures to come!
In the meantime, enjoy the pictures…
As per usual, you should all be receiving your Christmas Cards and/or New Years Cards (Japan) any day now…
I believe one of our traditions is to post the cards online a few days before you receive them, thereby ruining the surprise.
Anyways, make sure to put it on your fridge, and LET US KNOW IS YOU DO NOT RECEIVE ONE!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Love always,
Dave, Kiko, Noa and Hana
