Another year has past and another Lacelle family Christmas party is upon us. This year it was a little quieter than previous years, which made it a lot more cozy! Every year, Santa Claus makes a stop in Woodbridge for all the kids. Oliver loves…
We didn’t take many photos on Oliver’s actual birthday but we did manage to get a couple of videos in. Oliver and I went to the grocery store the previous week and Oliver saw a cake with ice cream cones on the side. He said that was…
For Oliver’s 3rd birthday, Dana and I wanted to redo his bedroom. We knew we had stretched Oliver’s sleeping in a crib for as long as we could. It’s not very often that you hear of toddlers still sleeping in a crib by their third birthday…
We’ve been through three Autumns now with Oliver and this year we finally played in the leaves together! In previous years, it has just seemed like Oliver was (a) too young or (b) I was too late and the snow was…
A quick and painless video of Oliver dressed in his finest wearing my sunglasses. Oh the fun times we have with our kids!
Hallowe’en 2011. This year we expected Oliver to really “get it” and he didn’t disappoint. Right from the beginnings of October, when asked: “What would you like to be for Hallowe’en Oliver?” He would say: “A Snowman!” Yup, a snowman…
Oliver visited our good friend Melissa’s house and she has a trampoline. Of course, Oliver LOVED it! She was kind enough to document the fun…
In August, Dana and I returned to our family cottage “Cedar Tip” to try another week of vacationing with Oliver. If you recall, the first trip was when Oliver was still quite young and unfortunately, it was…
Once again we celebrated Canada Day with our friends and old neighbours at the annual Rosedale Street Party. If you remember this is the day when Rosedale Ave. gets closed down for about 50+ kids…
Another Father’s Day has come and gone. Once again, the Ruprecht’s and the Connell’s got together in Port Severn at Mom & Dad Ruprecht’s place to celebrate Father’s Day. We spent a lot of the day…
Superbowl Sunday: the king of all sporting events. Many around the country and the world get together to eat, drink and watch some football. More and more Superbowl Sunday is less about…
If you’ve ever wondered what Oliver does during the day, here’s a quick video of some of the exciting things that keep him busy….
I guess you can’t really say this is a video of much because the “video” portion of this post doesn’t really mean anything. It’s a video of a baby monitor. Meh! But if you listen close enough…
Today we have just a quick video of Oliver and Mum enjoying a few chocolate chip pancakes with some very juicy berries. From this video and all the chocolate on Oliver’s face, it looks like…
Being a photographer it’s important to stay up with the latest technologies. So, to be able to offer my clients a better finished product, it’s also important…
Boxing day saw Grandma and Papa come for a visit to celebrate Christmas with us. They arrived in the early afternoon on Boxing Day, stayed for dinner and the night. Oliver loves…
It hasn’t happened too often yet but every once in a while, Oliver comes up with something that just makes us belly laugh over and over again. This is just one of those instances…
We’ve had a lot of fun with Oliver over breakfast. It’s pretty much our favourite meal of the day around the Connell household. It also seems to be the time we most often pick up the…
As Oliver started to get older, he also started (and continues) to enjoy new foods. We thought he would like pancakes, but I don’t think we were prepared for HOW MUCH he would enjoy…
November 5th was a very special day for us as Oliver took another first step in his growth….quite literally. At this point, Oliver had been walking around furniture quite easily but…
One afternoon while out with a neighbour Julie and her daughter Adara, Dana and Oliver had the chance to cool down in another neighbour’s pool. Up until this point, Oliver had never been swimming…
This post has several videos included in it. The first is of Oliver when he received his first balloon! You can see he had a lot of fun with it! I still love the look on his face when he tugs on the ribbon…
In the previous post, I talked about how Oliver had learned to throw his cups and other miscellaneous toys over the side of the play yard to the floor below. Well, along with those pictures…
