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.

Old is New, Lots of talking and stuff

Just a few quick updates!

1. Some old posts were there but not being displayed. I have fixed that, so please look below for a video of Noa running, and a picture of Hana on the phone.

2. Noa is talking a lot before he goes to sleep. Making a little bit of sense, bust mostly telling me a story using fragments of stories/songs/words that he knows. Really interesting and he is clearly trying to make a cohesive narrative.

3. Noa is a scary dragon

heard it here first.

New lens, New Video Camera … new stuff!

With the help of my more camera-able friends, we are now in possession of a new video camera (Sanyo Xacti HD) and a new lens for the Canon Rebel (100mm).

The Xacti allows us to take video and copy it right to the computer instead of taking forever to encode. Yeah! So expect more pictures.

The lens is Kiko’s domain, but she seems really excited.

Here are some pictures to keep you busy in the meantime…

Happy Children

Pretty Children (takes after her Dad)

Umm… weird?

And halfies.

Nice.

Growing!

Hey everyone! The site is growing and people are coming back.

Still trying to get RSS running, and a mobile version for people like me.

In the meantime, you can keep up-to-date with the latest pictures here:

Also, we got a new video camera and just sorting a way to get short video clips up and running.

In the meantime…

The dinosaurs are coming to get you…! (He actually said… “GO!” right after this picture.) World domination… nice

And pictures from our trip to the park…

Noa likes dinosaurs

He went to Toys R Us and made me unpack all the dinosaurs.

His favourite is the dinosaurusrex. nice try noa.

Back from the Anpanman Museum

Went to the Anpanman Museum located in Yokohama.

Suffice it to say Noa was happy, Hana is always happy, and Kiko and I were tired.

My good friend from highschool here in Japan, Toru, joined us with his girlfriend.

Noa had shaved ice…

which also made him happier.

By the way, not sure if you are interested, but in the process of setting up a lifestream. This is software developed by an acquaintance…

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.
