The calm before the storm.

This weekend is going to be huge. Why? Because it will mark Madeleine's first ever NHL game. And to think, it will be Ossi Vaananen's first game as a Canuck! Rest assured, the camera will be along for the ride, and assuming they allow basset hounds into GM Place you can expect photos a plenty. In the meanwhile, satiate your appetite with some other these pictures taken this week.

Learning to stand...

What a pair!
