Glowing Momo-chan

It was almost 5pm but it's tough to take a good photo without a flash. So it turned out to be like this. Momo-chan was a bit disappointed that the snow has melted away as he wanted to use his sleigh.

Pulling a sleigh

This morning, Momo-chan wanted to pull it instead of riding. Pinga wanted him to ride it as they were late for daycare.

Tired? Bored?

After a while Momo-chan sat down on the side of the road.

After daycare

After coming back from work, Pinga was plowing snow and Momo-chan wanted to do the same. One time he was holding a shovel together with Pinga but it didn't take time till he finds some other fun thing to do.

Lounge access

Pingu is flying to Tokyo today. He met Pinga's old boss on the train to the airport and he could come in as a guest to the nice part of the lounge. Nice! Unfortunately the flight is delayed and right now it is still unclear when the plane will take off.

Little helper

Pinga and Momo-chan were at a supermarket. Momo-chan was very helpful pulling the basket and putting things into the basket. He was happy that they got satsumas, pears and apricots. Right after coming back home, Momo-chan ate four apricots!

Amber

Pinga is looking at Amber's photo and thinking of me as she looks a bit like me. Some of Pinga's friends are still asking me how I am not knowing I'm no longer there. Heaven is not bad but home is the best.

Melon pan

Momo-chan is trying out melon pan for the first time. He liked it and said "more!" after finishing one. He ate one and a half melon pan as his afternoon snack.

New way of riding a sleigh

Pinga picked up Momo-chan from day care. Pinga was a bit surprised to see Momo-chan riding a sleigh in new style. Momo-chan found almost a full moon in the sky and kept saying "tsuki", a Japanese word for moon.

Momo-chan received a new toy from Pinga's aunt and uncle. It shoots cement chunk from the tank and Momo-chan was having a lot of fun with it.

Birthday lunch

Back in Lund

Pinga came back home late last night. Such a difference from sunny L.A. to snowy Lund.

Transfer in London

Pinga was on her way home from L.A. but she had to spend six hours in Phoenix and four hours in London. Terminal five didn't have many shops.

Red velvet cake

Pinga's friend bought this cake ago that Pinga can try. Red velvet cake was at Cheesecake Factory as well and Pinga has been curious about it. The creamcheese topping eas tasty. Cake didn't have specific flavor and was just sweet. Exciting to try something for the first time so nice that Pinga has a very nice friend.

Bye bye Amber

Amber was like this when Pinga went to say good bye. When Pinga tried to pet her, she hissed at her. She was not in a good mood...

Sunset in Santa Monica

It was another very sunny day. It went up to 80F degrees. Pinga was in Santa Monica when the sun was setting. Temperature dropped dramatically and out was chilly but the sunset was beautiful.

After the sledge ride they got invited to stay on for dinner. Before dinner they took it easy and watched Disney's Robin Hood together.

Rolling down the hill

No they have not fainted, they just decided to roll down the hill!

Sledge ride!

Today Pingu and Momo-chan went to visit some friends in Dalby. Since it was nice and clear they brought their sledge and after a tasty chocolate cake they headed out to ride their sledges. Momo-chan had fun and even walked back up himself.

Samurai Momo-chan waiting for the ice cream truck

Momo-chan is looking out into the the street and hoped the ice cream truck would drive by. It did not. The hairstyle is from daycare where one of the ladies put a pony tail on top of Momo-chan's head and he liked it so it stayed all the way home.
