Maru and Momo, Again

Momo and Maru had a play date and enjoyed the arrival of spring by climbing trees along Riverside Drive. Michi, who also took the photos, tells us that they walked from 116 to 86th Street.

We spent a couple days with Liz, Claudio and Nata at the Snoopy House or as Momo liked to say, the Puppy House, on Fire Island. We also ran into Lori S which made the whole trip feel more magical.

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.

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.

Labor Day at Dia: Beacon
We joined our fellow second-homeless New Yorkers, Natalia, Georgia and Vanessa, on the MetroNorth to visit Dia Beacon for a nice Labor Day get away.

No No No No
Momo picked up “No No No” and a finger wave from the playground.

A Very Momo Christmas
Momo did not quite know what to think of her first Christmas but she certainly had a fun time opening our presents and visiting the Waterman’s and the Steed’s households later in the evening.

Thanksgiving 2013
We had a lovely turkey-free Thanksgiving and visited the Guggenheim to see the Christopher Wool exhibit and had the pleasure of seeing awesome Robert Motherwell early collages. We poked about midtown and ended up at a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf which is a very California-ish coffee shop that just opened in NYC.

Momo’s Fall Transitions
Momo is finally adjusting to life Uptown in our new home. From napping only once day for 30 minutes, has become, two solid naps, eating more, and talking more and moving a lot faster from Point A to Point B.

Sunset Park after Dark
Some friends left us with their old Volvo 940 and while driving around looking for places to live we slid by the spot of Zechariah, who is also the owner of the flyest orange 70s Volvo wagon in Brooklyn. We had a nice little cook out.

Memorial Day
Super relaxing Memorial Day Weekend, in which we did very little. Michi had friends from California in one day but the rest all sleep and lounging and when the weather finally got nice, on Monday, we took a long walk to the East River.

Art for Momo
We purchased this serigraph by John Grillo from Pete’s job. It is an artist’s proof, 30 out of an edition of 200. Hopefully Momo will love the colors and shapes.
Mothers Day!
