Not here for a long time. Where to begin?

Back in October, we made our annual trek to the Pumpkin Patch. Disappointingly, the tradition entrance sign was significantly reduced and still, no dogs allowed. Bah humbug!

Sister Love!

Sister Love Times Two!

Sister Love Times Three!

 Pumpkin Balancing

Friends!

We then celebrated Thanksgiving with turkey dinner made by Nana, hot turkey sandwiches made by Nana and finally turkey soup, you guessed it, also made by Nana. Delicious! And the countdown to the Christmas Turkey is now on.

The impossible task for getting 4 little girls to look at the camera at the same time...

and to smile. 
Might have a better chance of winning the lottery.

Well, no money, but we surely won with this bunch of cuteness.

Summer Fun

I've heard of a frogman before, but have you ever heard of a frogbellie?

 Sisters at the new and improved Vancouver Aquarium.

 Madeleine with Annou, Opa and her second cousins once  and twice removed.

 The two biggest My Little Pony fans in the world meet at last.

 Bellie is all smiles.

 Here's my go at an artistic shot. What do you think?

 Selfie.

 M1 and a sheep.

 Horse riding. Definitely better than basset riding.

 Bellie at a full gallop. Up next, the steeplechase.

 Two amazing ladies.

 With the grandparents on a beautiful summer day.

 New Canucks captain will have them in the playoff hunt for sure this year.

 ???

 M1 is an honourary member of the 4H Club.

 It's no John Deere, but its the next best thing.

 M1 has no fear, although it may look otherwise here.

 The 2015 Women's World Cup is coming to Canada. Apparently this thing is the mascot.

 The gang off to foil another crime.

 Mmmmmmm, doughnuts.

 Not quite Disneyland, but maybe that will happen again soon.

 Bellie and some sweet outfits.

 M1 wants to be a Khaleesi.

Winter is Coming.

I wonder who would win out if these two battled it out for the Iron Throne?

A 90th birthday celebration in Ottawa.

 Jumping for joy on Parliament Hill.

Striking a pose with Aunt L.

 The ladies with two of the famous ones.

 Second cousins!

 Lipstick!

 Beautiful.

 M1 and M2 with the birthday girl.

 Happy 90th birthday, great grandma. We are all looking forward to many more.

 And then Madeleine got eaten alive by a dinosaur. The End.

M1's First Music Video.

This is Madeleine's first attempt at writing a song and recoding a music video. It was fortuitously recorded on video. Not too shabby considering that she was writing it as she is going along. Maybe a little bit too much angst for a 6 year old, but then again maybe the world has had enough of the fake-pop rubbish that dominates the airwaves for some inexplicable reason and is ready for the new Nirvana. Enjoy.

Summer fun

Madeleine engages in a major league pose down with the Sandhill Crane.

 Mirabelle admires the view

 Now admire the view of Mirabelle.

 Belly drives the tractor. Guess who is very happy about this turn of events.

 Happy Canada Day!

 M1 has her first go at the salmon bake

 Cute!

 Madeleine, Queen of the Forest.

 Pigtails.

 ????

 With Nana.

 Belly tries out the lake.

 Belly is not impressed.
