Bird Sanctuary

Madeleine found herself in possession of the princely sum of five dollars. She asked "Mr Burns, what can one do in this age with five dollars?"
"That's an easy question to answer I said, Bird Sanctuary!!!"
Madeleine and Mom get ready to search out the deadly Sandhill Crane. A little nervous, but prepared.

Five 53 week pictures

So Madeleine survived her one year birthday and she told me to once again thank everyone for all the amazing presents! She also survived her first week at daycare, although she wasn't particularly thrilled about being dropped off. But she'll get used to that I'm sure.

Anyways, even though she's into her second year, Madeleine has not, I repeat not, gotten any less cute. I offer the following 5 shots as indisputable evidence.
Proud Dad.
Proud Mom.
Standing up is no problem now, walking is not far off.

One Year Old!

On Sunday, my little sister turned the "Big 1". Unbelievable.
What an amazing 12 months it has been. There have been many, many amazing pictures that were taken over the past year, but this one might just be my favourite.
Baby M got lots, and lots of amazing presents. This beautiful box from Nan and Pa(w) was one of them.
Sunday morning my parents threw Madaleine a rockin' birthday bash. It was truly the social event of the season. Anybody who was anybody was there.












Birthday cake!!

The guests were far too generous with the gifts for Madeleine. What a lucky girl.
Check out Baby M's sweet wheels.
This gift was absolutely my favourite. Wooden Burnsman!!!
The aftermath!
Baby Madeleine gets to have her cake....

Madeleine's Room

So today I took some brief time off from being super annoying to my parents (especially Mom) and took some shots of Madeleine playing in her room.
What a bookworm!
Hmm, Madeleine loves Animals eh?
Yup, she sure loves those animals.Next stop, Calgary Stampede!

Editor's Note: I'm sorry Mom for being such a pest today. Please don't ship me off to Doggy Jail tomorrow! -Mr. B

Unsolved Mystery.

Today was a breathtakingly beautiful day in Vancouver and the perfect opportunity to seek out fame and fortune presented itself: endeavour to solve the great Bigfoot mystery that has perplexed folks round these parts forever.

I figured that just one sweet snapshot of the Mountain Man ought to earn enough dough for a lifetime of snausages, and other delectable treats.I took this picture before the troop set off on its adventure.
Baby M thinks she's spotted him over there! But by the time I trained my camera on the spot, he was gone.
Looking for clues!
Well unfortunately we didn't find Bigfoot, but at least we got in an awesome day of snowshoeing.
