Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and … Happy Holidays?

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

A day at the train museum and guns

We went to the Railway Museum on Saturday. Noa had a great time, but was a little over-excited.Thought it would be a good chance to give you some pictures.Hana is quite cute, and Noa still answers me only in Japanese (although he is clearly understanding what I tell him in English.)We hope to have some new videos up soon!2008032214043620080322140436and some Hana…20080322140305    followed by pictures of me shooting guns… in Texas.

Family of 4

In answer to your question, yes,  I have been too busy to call you, e-mail you, update this site, think or breathe!

Long story short, things are crazy! Not to mention we have 2 babies, but Kiko’s Mom headed back to Tanegashima, so we are on our own for about 10 days.

We will both be heading over in a few weeks, but until then I am juggling Noa, work and Hana.

I also have some other exciting news… but let’s wait until the end of the week for that!

In the meantime, here is a nice picture of how we are…
