Christmas Photos

Some photos from Christmas

Noa in all his kamen rider (masked rider) glory

Our new Roomba!?

Wish we could have spent it with all of you, but Noa definitely had a good time and got most of what he wanted from Santa.

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

davidandkiko.com -> vidb.net?

It’s been a long time since we only had 1 post in a month. Between a trip to Austin, Texas for me, and a trip back to Tanegashima for the rest of the family things have been crazy.

In bigger news, because of all the problems with davidandkiko.com, I have decided to move the site to vidb.net which I know shouldn’t attract too many crazies.

vidb.net -> d@vidb.net (davidb.net, get it??)

The move is semi permanent, but will work on moving back to davidandkiko when possible.

Thanks so much and in return here are lots of pictures.

BTW:　Noa is really really iinto Darth Vader. Because he’s black.

Injuries and Halloween

It was bound to happen! Despite being pretty perfect, Hana was injured today. We were at a friends house and she pulled a cup of tea over and it fell on her hands.

Or we were teaching her only to speak when spoken to… or something.

Either way, she is all bandaged up, we are all a little traumatized.

Could have been a lot worse and she doesn’t seem to have been injured (the bandages are a precaution.)

Now still likes to test the theory that she is not in any pain by trying to ride her around like a horse when she is crawling.

This is the costume Noa wears when he is tormenting Hana.

Noa and Hana gear

Seems like the website is up and running. Still a lot of things to work out, clean up a bit, make it look better and add some features, but good to have some pictures back!

We just bought some really cute shirts which have Noa’s and Hana’s names on them.

「英」はな Hana – Some sort of flower, also used in the character for English

「希空」のあ – Wish, Sky

and just for good measure…

August in Fukuoka

We went on a family trip to Fukuoka where Kiko planned and held a reunion of her friends from University!

Noa and Hana had a great time. As you can tell, still not updating the website on a regular basis, but getting there… it’s almost back in business!

For now, enjoy the pictures…

Child Update and Noa’s First Day of English Nursery

The title says it all.

Kiko has been taking some amazing pictures, the cherry blossoms are out, and Noa started English nursery school (2 days a week) with some teacher from Etobicoke.
