Subway Portraits: 145th Street and 28th Street
Momo and I went to Sewho on a lovely, unseasonable warm Saturday and I took some photos while we were on the platform at 145th St.

Flight Club Fire Island
We finally were able to spend several days at the Snoopy House aka the Puppy House. We spent lots of time jumping off the lifeguard chair which was high enough to be scary not to so high were we could hurt ourselves — seriously anyway. Momo also roamed around the island by herself and even bought groceries. She was also not the youngest! That honor now goes to Violetta.
Momo, the uptown handball champion
A bit of cheap and safe fun has been playing with balls. Several variations include:
- ball in the hall
- ball on the wall (hand ball)
- ball in front of the wall (catch)

It’s spring in NYC!
We visited the Fifth Ave. Easter bonnet parade and stopped by the Japanese market for goodies.

Spring! Finally.
Spring has arrived and we realize we have not been good about updates to the Momo blog. Here is a roll of recently developed film of Momo’s adventures uptown, including a visit from Noni and Mothers Day at Prospect Park with Muki.
Oodles of Noodles
Momo has had ramen before, even at world renown Ivan Ramen, but she had a particularly lovely experience with this batch Michi made at home.
Umbrellas
Momo really loves umbrellas, which could be explained by a book we have read to her since she was months old called Umbrella about a little girl in New York City named Momo. Also Michi has become the official Momo blog photographer so if you notice the quality of composition increasing, it is because of Michi behind the camera.
No No No No
Momo picked up “No No No” and a finger wave from the playground.

Waimanalo in color and black and white
A video and more photos of Waimanalo and the surrounding mountains in both color and black and white. Truthfully digital color does the surroundings no justice so I prefer the black and white.
