Pictures for Tracy… and Pictures! (and Hana falls)

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”

No comments about the clothes.. we were a physician family.

Clearly.

A big thank you to Scott for the following

I wish I could have been there with her.

Noa is going to go to the money store and buy me more money…

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!

Noa and Hana Update Gallery

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…

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
