More Noa’s 1st Birthday Action

So … we had a little party for Noa here in Tokyo! It was held a few days after Noa’s actual birthday, and some of our friends (both with babies and without!) came to visit. We also opened some of Noa’s presents from you all (Thank you!!) and we will now post some pictures where Noa decided he felt like looking at the camera.

happy birthday noa!

I wish we could have put up pictures of all the nice stuff Noa got, but unfortunately (fortunately?) he gets very excited over his new presents and it makes for some retarded pictures.

That is all.

Noa’s First 1st Birthday

Clever and smart I am… Noa has big shoes to fill.

Congratulations NOA!!! And a big thank you to all of you have that e-mailed, called, left messages, or wrote on here. Thank you! 😮

That’s right… he can walk, he can dance, he can touch his eye(s), he can say “dada”, he has 4 teeth (dagger, dagger #2, misty, tooth) and now he is 1 year old!!!

I took off an hour of work and came home quickly where Kiko, Noa, and I had some cake and opened a few presents. He didn’t understand the concept of cake (I think he thought it was bread!) but after awhile he got it, and since it was his first time eating something sweet… ever!, he was pretty excited.

We should have more videos and stuff coming over the next few days. In the meantime…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOA!!!

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.

Canada Round-up

Why do you make the baby Noa cry? Does Baby Awesome (click that for some awesomeness) deserve this?

(No… I’m just joking. he’s crying because I beat him for being too cute.)

Although we still haven’t found a place to settle in yet here in Tokyo, that doesn’t mean we have a whole lot of excitement to share from our trip back to Canada. (ie. I still haven’t been able to get our photos off the camera yet. So these are a bit older…)

How about some Niagara Falls action? (one picture by me, one by Kiko)

The boys in Brampton

weird… I was waiting for this post to go up a few days ago and decided to check it out. Apparently I didn’t actually post it.

oops.

It turns out I am not perfect. Just pretty damn close. (my stomach hurts and its making me delirious.)

I have some exciting news about me and my good friend Hideki, but watch for that in an upcoming post.

For today, I would like to share some photos of my good friends that made the long trip all the way out to the B-dot to visit. Dan, Graham, Marc, Matt, it was great to see you guys. Noa had a blast and it was great just to hang out. Like I said, Dan & Graham (not to mention Franky!) it’s about time you make the trip to Japan.

Hard Gay

Has Noa got the ghey?

That one is still up in the air, but I don’t really know how to describe Hard Gay, aka Crazy-Japanese-Comedian?-Man, other than by saying he is very very not gay. If there was a gayness competition, Noa would win hands down.

Anyways, to summarize, Hard Gay is a Japanese comedian that goes around thrusting his hips at small children. Hmm… weird. At any rate, his trademark move is to say something and then scream “Fo—!” really loud. (Teaching was great when we got to the number 4 and I had all the children of Japan screaming at me while raising there hands in a Hard Gay pose.)

… I just realized I am writing about Hard Gay so I will cut this short here. Anyways, the day before we left Hard Gay was brought to Takamatsu for the Takamatsu Festival. We stood in a huge crowd just so we could get a picture of Hard Gay screaming “Takamatsu Fo—!” which made everyone in Takamatsu feel special.

I don’t think Noa was that impressed that we made him sit through that.

But at least we were able to get this…

Hard Gay in Takamatsu VIDEO

(people complained about the irrelevance of this post. So here is a picture of Noa destroying some fruit with dagger #1 and #2… and obviously feeling bad for the destruction that he brought upon the poor orange.)

I’m sorry Mr. Orange.

It’s too late Noa…. too late.
