Bon Voyage!

Well this might it for the blog for a little bit because we are outta here!

 Recently Mirabelle turned seven months old, and Mom made a pie.

 Mirabelle would like to introduce you to her owl.

 Relaxing with Daddy.

 Cooking up something tasty.

 A messy but good eater she be.

 Hanging out with Daddy.

 Cutest picture of all time?

 Maybe!

 Definitely!

 Real men.

 Actually, this one might be the cutest picture of all time.

 A trio of babies.

 A now time for Madeleine to enter the picture. You didn't think there could be a Mr Burns dog blog entry without her did you.

 This week she had an awesome play date with Connor.

 Head first down the slide. She has no fear.

 Au revoir tout le monde.

First weekend of summer.

Happy news to report from BC, summer has finally arrived!

I know that Mirabelle is almost always happy, but why is she so happy here?

Because it was a wedding day. A beautiful day.

 

Check out the styling outfits!

Happiness is a small baby at a wedding.

Still smiling.

Mama and the flower girl.

Yup, Madeleine was the flower girl. This was gig #4.

Chillin'

This being her fourth time as a flower girl, the Big M has the role down pat.

The groom, Gavin, lookin' sharp.

A flowergirl's job is a serious one.

A flowergirl's Dad, not so much.

Four hours later and still happy as a clam.

With the lovely bride Sonali.

The wedding was a big deal of course, but his weekend we also had visitors. Check out little Kyle.

Sarah, Diana, Mirabelle, Mama, Monique. Madeleine off on an adventure no doubt.

Diana with some M & M. We'll see her in Paris shortly.

Here is Madeleine, Daddy and a llama.

Llamas?? Extreme motorcross?? Surely it must be the PNE!

Roller coaster, hang on for your life.

Mirabelle with her Nana and Papa.

Madeleine has her turn with the grandparents. Thanks for the mini-doughnuts.

New on-the scene Global TV reporter.

Epilogue to Cross Canada trip and weekend adventures galore.

Here is the long-sought after missing chapter of the recent family vacation: the trip to Casa Loma.

Casa Loma is this incongruous delight in Toronto: a real castle!

 Madeleine in the haunted tower.

Annou and Mirabelle in Vermont Square Park, Dad's old stomping grounds.

 

It was hot as hell in Toronto, the key was to find a fan and stay near it...

 

Or get an ice cream from this fine establishment: Madeleine's

The three lovely ladies of my life.

Cuteness!

Super cuteness. Somebody give this baby some $$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Sitting up?

No problemo!

Mirabelle has been getting to know more animals than just basset hounds recently.

Madeleine is a horse-riding expert and she is showing her little sister the ropes.

 A triple shot of Mirabelle coming at you!

 M & M.

 One is serious, the other not so much.

Still waiting for summer to show up in Vancouver, but when it does, Mirabelle will be ready.

Who's #1?

I told you she was an expert.

I'm not sure why this old Madeleine picture got uploaded, but I just couldn't delete it.

 Sweaters at the beach, yeah it's been that kind of August.

 Three bumps on a log.
