Happy Birthday Mama

 It was Mama's birthday this week. Happy birthday from your three kids.

 Time for a haircut?

 Mirabelle is an excellent sitter.

 And and even better smiler.

 Cuteness.

 Three lovely ladies.

 Portrait of a modern family.

 Mama and Madeleine.

Movie stars.

Happy Mother's Day

Sunday was Mother's Day. I hope you called your mother. I would have called mine, but dogs don't use phones. Mirabelle's gift was that of super cuteness.

 Even when she's serious, she's a knockout.

 It's Penny's first Mother's Day. Please come back soon. Love Mr Burns.

 Madeleine knows how to celebrate Mother's Day in style.

 Four lovely ladies.

 Ready for summer fun.

Hey, wait a minute. What's Papa doing in a Mother's Day Dog Blog post?!?Sneaky devil.

Bonus feature. Madeleine at the skating lesson.

Spring is here

Spring is here! This is the "before" of our garden at London Farm - here's hoping for some carrots come early August...

Wheelbarrow rides with Nana - just like Mama and Cousin Claire had with Nan at the cabin when they were little. They still appear to be as fun as ever.

Spring also brought a beautiful new baby into our lives. I think she is just lovely, but I am very jealous that she took my Penny away. Counting the days until our walks resume!

 Welcome to the world, Gwenoviere Lisa Kerry Leggo!

 And Nan Leggo came all the way from Newfoundland for a visit!

Waikiki

Turtle Bay was a blast, but we had a date in Honolulu. On the way, however, there was a mandatory stop for some shave ice.

 Man have they got amazing food in Hawaii. If you haven't had the plate lunch at the Rainbow Drive-In, you haven't really lived yet.

When you're done at the Drive-In, head up the road for a 6 pack of malasadas from Leonard's Bakery.

 Babes at the beach.

 Surfs up.

 We went on a three hour tour!

 M1 and Mama snorkelling with the turtles.

 Although truth be told, Madeleine like me prefers the boat to the ocean.

Back, to the food. Next time you are in Waikiki, do yourself a favour and get a Hula Dog!

 The only way to travel.

 We went to the zoo, it was hot, very hot. This is the only picture. The animal is real.

 Hey, no ladybugs allowed in the pool.

 Enjoying the sun poolside.

 Until next time Hawaii.

 ALOHA!

Aloha!

Say "hello" to what must be my largest posting ever. I'll keep the comments short so that there more time to enjoy the pictures.

On the plane to Hawaii.

 Madeleine was not excited.

 Mama makes flying fun!

 Ready for sun and surf!

 Get it?!?

 Hugging the palm trees. Look in the archives for a similar shot...

 Loving the Turtle Bay.

 Jumping Madeleine Flash

 Hammock time.

 Born to be tropical.

Does it get any better than this? Maybe if there was a bone or two, but other than that, probably not.

 Lovely!

 Beware, you go in but you may never come out!

 The famous Pineapple Princess.

 My three favourite ladies.

 Having a blast.

 It was windy but Dad holds on to M1 super tight.

 M2 was all about the sand.

 Thinking about hanging ten?

 Hawaii is the place for love...

 and super smiles.

 Ladybugs into the pool!

"No dogs allowed on the waterslide." BOOO!

 Creepy Easter Bunny

 There were filming a movie at the Resort, and I snapped a photo of the star.

 They had everything, even ponies.

 It may not look like it, but this is the local delicacy. Scrumptious.

 Even Mirabellie can't turn down a garlic shrimp from Giovanni's

 Frog-girl.

 That's how they roll.

 The "Lost" banyan tree. Where's Locke?

 Matching outfits are a must.

 Turtle Bay was an absolute blast.

 She made the lei herself! Beauty.

Aloha for now. Check back soon for the second half of our adventure. Waikiki here we come.
