Lots and lots and lots of pictures from the past month.

With so much sleeping to do, it is hard for a old basset hound like myself to keep up the pace I once had. This is probably the longest hiatus ever for this blog. To make up for it, here is the most pictures I've posted in a long while. Starting with the cutest ice cream truck you'll ever see.

 We recently had a little road trip, this is the she-wolf mascot of the Great Wolf Lodge. 

Madeleine of course loved the water slides!

Belly was more into the skidoo.

We went to Portland and paid a visit to the world famous VooDoo doughnuts.

What a selection!

Belly loved her some fruit loop doughnut.

M1 was keen on the bubble gum one.

The Portland Zoo was nifty too. Where they let you get right up close to all the animals...

 Even the bears.

Underwater!

Who wants some popcorn? Nobody with a soul could say no to this?!

Strawberries are deliciously cute.


Fish out of water.

Everyone brake for cuteness.

 Super Papa.

My family.

I miss Annou and Opa a lot already.

And finally, after an unexpected bout of the chicken pox delayed the festivities somewhat. Madeleine finally had her Little Mermaid Birthday party.

Her old friend from day care, Twiggy, was a featured guest.

Two princesses.

Friends forever.

The whole gang.

M & M

 Happy 5th Birthday Madeleine. Love Mr Burns.

Birthdays galore!

Well an event of unspeakable sadness occurred recently, when on the day of Madeleine's 5th birthday party she awoke to a mild case of the Chicken Pox. 
 Alas, the Ariel-themed party was aborted at the last minute. Fortunately, Madeleine was a good sport about it all, and the cake proved to be delicious nevertheless.
In other birthday news. Hard as it is to believe, cousin Gwenoviere is about to turn 1. She had her party yesterday. Fortunately, the chicken pox have cleared and it was time to party.
 Belly wishes her cousin the warmest of birthday wishes. The pool in the background would soon be the scene of a minor disaster when Nana intentionally pushed Mirabelle in it. (Just kidding, she pushed her by mistake).
 Madeleine says "this pool is for fishing, not for swimming in!"
 The cake.
 Papa and the birthday girl.

 Look out for the speed bump.

Madeleine turns five

This my loyal dog blog readers is what a five year old girl looks like!
 If you can't believe that it is her 5th birthday already. Look at the t-shirt. The t-shirt never lies.
 Yup, definitely the birthday girl.
 THE CAKE!
 The theme: pigs!
 Mama and M2
 Might be the best group shot yet. 
 Will she manage to eat the whole thing?
Happy Birthday Madeleine!

Last weekend we took yet another trip to feed the hungry ducks of North Delta.
Kisses for daddy!
Camouflaged, waiting to pounce.
