Lindsay and Takeshi’s Wedding… in Kagawa!

We are back from an exhausting (but fun!) trip to Kagawa where we got to see a number of good friends and colleagues. We miss Kagawa and everyone there very much! Thank you so much for making the time to hang out with us everyone!! (except those of you who dragged me into the freezing cold ocean in the middle of winter. you know who you are. actually… that was a lot of fun but sucky in the I thought I was going to die kind of way.)

A big part of our trip to Kagawa was to go see our friends Lindsay and Takeshi get married! Congratulations!!!

It was there that Noa was reunited with Jim, and performed live on stage with Jim’s band LAME (which despite all that I was expecting… which was nothing… turned out to be pretty good!) [I will get a hair cut, calm down.]

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:

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!

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

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!
