Day five hundred & sixty-seven saw us take a quick trip up to Mom & Dad Connell’s for the afternoon to celebrate Father’s Day. We only snapped a couple of photos this day, but they’re quite cute so I thought I would share them. We forgot Oliver’s highchair so we went Old School and had him sitting on the Yellow Pages. LOL! He actually seemed to like it! Gosh he is getting big quick!

Cheers!

Mother’s day every year is a hectic day for us that Connell household. We usually end up trying to cram in as much visiting as possible on this day, which means we are trekking across most of Ontario! This year was no exception as we spent the morning having brunch with Dana’s parents in Woodbridge, and then we headed up to Victoria Harbour to see my parents.

Once again, Oliver was just a doll the entire time – keeping us entertained with his big smiles and wonderful attitude. It can’t be easy for an 18-month old to spend that much time in a car on any given day, but Oliver seems to take it very well. We are very proud of him!

Below are some images from the day – I hope you enjoy!

Cheers!

We spent boxing day with Grandma and Grandpaw in Victoria Harbour. It was a good day to eat some more scrumptious food (like we hadn’t had enough from the night before), sit and chat and enjoy each other’s company. Oliver played quite a bit with his Goldfish Crackers, and even took and “indoor sleigh ride” in his new sleigh he got for Christmas. We also had some family visitors. Oliver got to meet his Great Aunt Bev and Great Uncle Guy for the first time, and he played with his cousins Michelle, Bobby and Brittany.

Below are some pictures from the day. The rest of the images can be found here. There is also a Youtube video below of Oliver and his sleigh ride.

Cheers!

Today is Oliver’s second Christmas. Santa has visited our house yet again and left some wonderful gifts for us all. Oliver’s favourite gift: a bag of Apple Crisps he got in his stocking. Clearly Santa knew what Oliver would like! Mum and Dad spent the rest of the morning opening the other gifts while Oliver ran around the living room with his crinkly bag of Apple Crisps. Ah, all in good fun.

Below are a couple of videos of Oliver enjoying his Christmas morning.

Then it was off to Grandma and Grandpaw’s for more presents and a Christmas dinner. Mom (Grandma) outdid herself once again. We had probably one the juiciest turkey I’ve ever tasted. We had a surprise visitor, my Auntie Karen for dinner and a visit. It was wonderful to see her again.

Below are some pictures of the day. The full set of pictures can be found on my Flickr site here.

Enjoy!

Valentine’s Day. A special day in every couples’ heart. Oliver was two and a half months old at that point and Dana and I hadn’t been out by ourselves since before he was born. So, in an attempt to get a little alone time, Dana and I took Oliver to Grandma’s house in Victoria Harbour for her to babysit while Dana and I went to a movie. Oliver slept the entire car ride up, and didn’t really want to eat when he got there. For those of you that know and love Oliver, you know this is a bit out of character. So, Dana and I leave Oliver alone with Grandma and headed out to see He’s Just Not That In To You (Dana’s choice). We settled in with our popcorn, Swedish Berries, and our Root Beer for what we thought would be a nice two hours. Well, not ten minutes into the movie, I get a call from Grandma saying Oliver has been crying since we left and is pretty hysterical at this point. So, up we get from our seats, lucky enough to get a refund for the tickets, and head back to Grandma’s. Of course, upon our return, Oliver has fallen happily asleep. Happy Valentine’s Day Mum and Dad!

That’s my boy!
