Our Noxon Family

Our Noxon family is fairly small at the moment, we're just beginning. As we go on adventures and our
family expands, we will add much to this part of the website.

For now... some pictures!

There were getting to be too many pictures here and it was getting annoying to scroll down all the way.
If you want to see some of the old pictures, click on one of the links to the right under the zonkboard.

Date: 3-18-5 : Ume Tree in full Bloom - Now it's a lighter pink since it is in full bloom, it's gorgeous!

Date: 3-16-5 : Ume Tree about to Bloom - This is an Ume Tree (Plum Tree) just about to bloom. Hopefully it will in the next few days.

Date: 3-10-5 : Iris - Our new buddy here at the apartment is Iris, who is the cutest kitty in Japan. (Stella and Hermione are competing for the American Title.)

Date: 3-9-5 : Engrish Tees - Just some Engrish T-Shirts (and the top left is a bento box) that I saw in our local store the other day.

Date: 12-6-4 : People - Someone complained there were no pictures of these people on the site, so here they are, they look really happy, the weirdos.

Date: 12-05-4 : Christmas Carolers - We went Christmas shopping in Nara City and saw these carolers, they were pretty good.

Date: 12-01-4 : More Tests! - Graded a few more of the Fall Semester tests today. If you read the first line you can see "I'm bukatsu..." This is a classic example of when they can't think of the right word they put in the Japanese one... hehe... I used to do this in Spanish class all the time. Bukatsu, by the way, means "Club Activities". She was trying to write "I am happy when I go to my club" but it just didn't come out. Second line says "I'm sreepping new." Got no clue on this, they were supposed to be writing something they wanted to do. Maybe she wanted to be sleeping now? Last line was "Yesterday is Mami's birthday..." At first I thought that she just didn't change 'is' to 'was', but the teacher told me they were supposed to make present-tense sentences, so this should have been "Tomorrow is..." Tomorrow and yesterday are constantly confused words. If you think that's crazy, try remembering kinou (yesterday) and ashita (tomorrow), I always forget.
