Halloween in Japan

I promised less pictures of kids and more me goodness, didn’t I?

It’s coming. But for now shut up and enjoy the pictures!

Noa and Hana’s Halloween collection.

Noa is cool. Hana (despite how she looks above) is happy. See below how she chills with her friends.

Hana had a great time with her little baby friends. Now was Batman in dress but a power ranger in spirit.

See you soon…

Highlights from Thailand

Had our first real family vacation (other than Guam) to a foreign country.

Here are the highlights… working on a new site which should have more than just pictures of kids… be excited.

Quick Update: Kiko’s Bags

So I think I mentioned that Kiko is into sewing. While she has made us family pyjamas, the majority-benefactors of Kiko’s sewing are the kids.

Here they are showing off their new bags…

Noa is in Kindergarten … by the way

So some people have been asking what Noa is up to.

He is in kindergarten. Hana chills at home, but Noa goes, kicking and screaming, most days to kindergarten.

Here is him on his first day in April.

Nice.

The next picture was taken a few weeks ago during his swimming class.

I love this picture!!!

Hana’s Unexpected Hair Cut

Someone though it was a good idea to cut Hana’s hair… guess who?

At least someone didn’t think it was a good idea to stab her in the neck.

.. appearing every night in the living room around 8pm…

Pre-Singapore Noa and Hana love

Off to Singapore!

Just got back from Tanegashima with the kids. Noa was very sad to see me go and makes me count the nights before he can see me again.

here is a picture of them eating watermelon and for some reason holding hands in the car…(unprompted)

Family trip to Tanegashima

It’s summer vacation! So we can either have the kids hang around all summer and drive us (mostly Kiko!) crazy, or we can ship the family off to Tanegashima.

This year, it happens to align with the total eclipse (I’ll give you a hint… rain) where the Southern tip of Tanegashima was in the 100% zone.

We also took a side trip to Yakushima, the island that inspired Hayao Miayazaki’s Princess Mononoke (Look it up) and Noa got to play with nature (touch bugs), and both Hana and Noa got to play with their cousins.

I took one week (the first one) with them and am heading back to Tokyo shortly. I have a feeling he is going to forget all his English by the time he gets back, so I have loaded him up with some Super Why! (Look it up!) and Transformers.

In the meantime, here is our week in pictures…
