Noa’s (second?) Haircut … and stuff
So Rumi-chan in Tanegashima gave Noa a nice haircut (this was about 2 weeks ago). Look how cool he looks:
and the process
see how happy he is?
and the before shots: (this was us in Kiko’s house!)
you can almost see dagger, dagger 2 (aka twin dagger), tooth, misty, and the newly emerging “sean”.
off to sleep for me…
New Years in Tanegashima
… 2007 in Tokyo! Welcome.
We were off to the beautiful island of Tanegashima again for New Years this year. I thought I had already posted this, but I guess not!
At any rate, we got to see Kiko’s family, and Noa got to play with his 3 cousins, Hina, Kana and Shuichiro. (aka his lover).
We also celebrated … something … I forget the name, but they put a heavy load on Noa’s back and made him step on rice. Um… ok..? weird.
Kana (the middle one) is all dressed up for her ceremony. Look how cute she is!
and finally a picture of me and her for good luck.
and one of all of us!
Merry Christmas 2006!
MERRY CHRISTMAS 2006!
FROM DAVID AND KIKO AND NOA (.COM!)
The website has been a little slow to update because I am finally getting to work on the password problem. Expect everything to be all better in the New Year!
Although I will be working tomorrow, we are going to have a little Christmas present opening tomorrow and we will be sure to post pictures. We will be heading to Kiko’s family’s place for New Years.
That being said, it’s Christmas, and its this time of year that makes us remember how much we miss all of you! So to our friends and family, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
We both wish you could be closeby so you could spend some time with us and get to see Noa grow up, so we hope that this website continues to be place where you can keep an eye on what we are up to.
We miss you all, Merry Christmas, and lots of love
David, Kiko, Noa
2006
and this is my brand new Christmas cage where I send Noa when he is bad…
Noa’s day in the park
** ❗ ❗ I recognize that some of you are unable to post in the shoutbox. Make that most of you. I am working on it! We are going to have a whole new website coming in January. It will be much less annoying and the password system will be restructured so it… umm… works. love, david & kiko 😮
———-
Noa went to the park on Saturday. He had a great time (and got a huge bruise on his cheek at the same time.) Here are some photos from his trip.
[re: the bruise. Long story short: He tried to climb the slide by himself. Unfortunately he doesn’t actually know how to climb a ladder. He got up the first stair and was so pleased with himself that he started to clap… and then fell off. nice. :oops:]
Noa closeup #9 & Stuff
Ok! I am working on getting this password system resolved (finally!) and bring out a “real” new version of the site…hopefully in time for Christmas!
In the meantime, let’s see how Noa is doing! The stuff he can do now is incredible. Lots of talking. His dancing skills are powered up. And he really likes Winnie the Pooh (or “Bu”), Anpanman, and Barney. nice.
He also loves his daddy…. look!
Wii love you [chris]
I only do this because I love ya. 😮 (consider it motivation to go get one so we can play multiplayer games… when they come out… not that you haven’t been trying! It’s almost impossible to get one in Japan too if it makes you feel any better…)
Oh god… it’s a wall of Wii goodness. Why do I have 2 Wii’s, 3 controllers and a whole bunch of other stuff (note the two games not available in the US. Wario Dance or whatever its called and Wii Play [comes with the controller])…? It’s a long story.
.
Not really. It begins like this:
After Noa broke Kiko’s nose, I didn’t go to my soccer tournament in Awaji (with my good friend Jim! Sorry Jim!). My other good friend Brian offered to come with me to get a Wii. I did a lot of research and I figured our best bet was this store above. See how close I am to the front? (I’m poking my head out the top!) #8 in line! Woohoo!
It wasn’t so woohoo after I realized I had misread the kanji and it actually said lottery instead of priority. … so about 5 minutes before the lottery started (and 4 hours after I got there) a whole rush of people came, got a ticket and apparently won their wii’s, because I certainly didn’t. boooooooooo-urns. (to paraphrase mikey)
Was that the end of it? No. I decided to go Yahoo Auctioning … (its like E-bay but for Japan.) Ended up winning like a billion auctions (I went a little bit spastic.) Re-sold some of them, and Brian (who didn’t get a Wii in the lottery either) bought the other one. So in fact, I only have 1 Wii, but after all the auction excitement (=profits), it ended up costing about $50 less then retail. WoohoO!
Here is a Samba de Amigo (best game ever!) Dreamcast Maraccas controller for good measure.
good stock
Neat. Tracy just sent me a picture of Shane and I that we had never seen before.
Dunno about that Shane guy, but I give Noa a run for his money.
Noa’s Friends #2
Let’s suppose that work is super interesting, but very very busy. Now let’s suppose that I want to update the website with more exicitng Noa videos, but I just don’t have time…
Now what would I put in it’s place??? That’s right! Here is a collection of pictures featuring Noa and his friends and family. These were taken during our time back in Canada, and since we arrived in Tokyo! Enjoy…
ps. Many of you have been asking for pictures of our new house… more to come!
(and finally, as always, a big THANK YOU to all of you for your very kind wishes on my birthday.)
Love, David & Kiko & Noa
Chris & Andrew
Kiko and I (and possibly Noa) want to send a big congratulations to Chris & Andrew who will be getting married in Toronto today. I can’t tell you how much we wish we could have been there. (That goes for you too, M&L, T&D, S&D :()
Chris has been one of my closest friends since as long as I can remember. Although we only met Andrew a few times, he is a fantasticly nice guy and it is quite obvious how happy they make each other. Both Kiko and I look forward to spending more time with you both when we are back in Toronto.
Congratulations Chris & Andrew. We miss you tons and will be thinking about you today. We know how stressful a wedding can be, so take your time, enjoy it, and know that you have friends all around the world that love you.
