One of our goals for Oliver was to teach him to learn how to swim. Both Dana and I feel it’s important for a child to learn as early as possible how to swim. We like to be around water (whether it’s at the cottage or a friend’s pool) and…
For as long as I’ve been able to remember now, Oliver has enjoyed everything to do with the Disney movie Cars. He’s been reciting lines from the movie, watching youtube video shorts on the computer and collecting the Disney….
The great spring thaw! On this day in March, it started to get warmer out and everything was melting. It still wasn’t warm enough to not have jackets, touques and gloves on, but it was certainly nice to feel…
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…

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…
I’m not gonna lie, taking photos of Oliver is a lot of fun. Even if he isn’t doing something new, or acting funny or whatever, I still enjoy taking photos of Oliver. So, on this day, he was enjoying…
Back about a month and a half ago, I got a facebook message from a friend saying that she saw Oliver 365 on display in an indigo by where she lives. I was a little thrown….
It’s no secret that Oliver has a few “narcissistic” tendencies. He loves to look at himself in the mirror. Scratch that, he loves to kiss his reflection in the mirror! He also loves to look at pictures…
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…
Oliver and I spent the evening of day seven hundred and sixty-seven watching the Canadian Word Junior Hockey team compete for the gold medal against the Russian team. I say compete because…
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…
Another Christmas morning was upon us and Oliver didn’t get up until later in the morning. Not sure if he just didn’t understand we were going to open presents or if…
Last year we took Oliver for the first time to visit Santa at the Bramalea City Centre and we had a lot of fun. Surprisingly to us, Oliver was very good with Santa. We’ve all heard…
Every year, Dana’s Mom’s side of the family gets together once in the summer for a family picnic and once in the winter for a Christmas party. This year Oliver is at a great age…
November was a really hectic month around the Connell household. Dana was in full production mode for two craft shows…
Hallowe’en….Oh Hallowe’en. Hallowe’en was fun last year as it was Oliver’s first. Dana planned out this Fighter Pilot outfit that just worked so well given Oliver’s size and…
If you recall, one of our favourite photo sessions we did with Oliver was at Downey’s Farm where they have a pumpkin patch. Oliver was a little too young last year to do much more than…
We spent Thanksgiving day at Nana and Grand Dad’s for turkey dinner. Nana makes a mean turkey so this was a happy event for all of us! Auntie Alison, Uncle Arek and cousin Julia were…
Day six hundred and seventy nine (are you getting tired of all these numbers yet??? LOL!) saw Mum, Daddy and Oliver take a trip north to cousin Bobby’s house. It was Mum’s…
We like to get outside as much as possible. And since we are planners, this sometimes means that we have an outdoor excursion set for a day where the weather might not cooperate. This was…
Whether it be weekends or weeknights, we play in and around the house most days. There are just so many fun things to do! And of course, we love our house…
