Canucks Epic Fail

Well what did you expect? After not winning anything since 1967 the blowout tonight was entirely predictable. For 7 million dollars, I could let in 17 goals in three home games. Sheesh. For those in need of a little hockey related comfort after this repeat debacle against the Blackhawks, check out Madeleine's cover of an old Stompin' Tom Ditty. Go Habs, Go!

Happy Mother's Day

Hopefully you all called your mothers today! Here's two moms, two daughters and one Nana.
Baby M and Nana.
Madeleine and her Momma.
Not sure what Madeleine is doing here but it's pretty cute.
Again with Nana.
It was a beautiful weekend in B.C.
And beautiful weekends make for beautiful photographs.
Man's best friend.

Woe Is Me

I am a simple basset. I like simple things in life: sleeping, eating, walking and sleeping. In return for not demanding too much, I ask only that I be spared exposure to the usual reasonable things that sane individuals wish to avoid: vegetables, country music and baths. Oh the humanity that is bath day!
A quick hop and a dash - a lightning bolt of black and white - escape is at hand but for Madeleine acting as sentry.
Prostests do nothing but delay the inevitable.
A kiss from a sweet maiden and courage flows through my veins.

Might as well just laugh it off and accept the inevitable.

If you think I'm actually going to show the undignified moment of getting soaked, you don't know me very well. Over and out.

Toilet Training

Madeleine is being toilet trained this weekend. Doing so requires Herculean effort so there is no time for witty captions, just some cute pictures. More details next time when sanity returns.

Yet another Sunday walk to Steveston.


Today Madeleine decided that she was going to take a walk to Steveston, and come hell or high water that was what was going to happen.

The adventure begins.
At first it looked like there was no way that we were going to make it all the was to our destination, as M seemed like she was more interested in sitting than in going anywhere.

Exhibit "A"

Exhibit "B".

But after the promise of a Starbucks hot chocolate and the shedding of a few layers, she had a head of steam and ain't nothing gonna break her stride.

Ain't nothing gonna slow her down.Well, except maybe a few ducks.
And photo-ops.

I'll tell you, she's exhausting.
