Last weekend Papa Dino came in for a visit as well as Gramma and Grampa on Saturday. We had a great time and the kids were in heaven. Gabby actually stayed with Papa Dino at his hotel Saturday night which I think was quite an adventure for both of them. I don’t think Papa Dino slept very well but Gabby felt like such a special big girl staying at a hotel. On Sunday we showed Papa Dino the Compton Gardens trail and I of course had to take advantage and get some pics of the kids. You would think I would have gotten a few more with Michael and the kids since it was Father’s Day but it never occurred to me for some reason.
This week we’re experimenting with potty training Peter Michael. It’s hard to imagine that I could have two kids out of diapers some day but it doesn’t look like that’s going to be anytime soon. He’s done very well with going once he’s on the potty and seems to understand the muscles to use but we’ve had trouble making it to the potty. On the plus side at least my house is pretty clean from all the constant mopping and carpet cleaning.
My favorite two pics from the walk with a little digital enhancing from Picnik.
Showing Papa Dino something.
There’s that “picture smile.
Just a funny pic from last week.
Father’s Day card we sent out with Hugs & Kisses from the kids.
Gabby’s kiss pics. We were just going to do kisses from the kids but then I changed my mind. How sweet would this picture have been if someone wasn’t holding a stinking mermaid and absolutely refused to put it down!!

Pictures of the kiddos always make my day a little brighter. Even with a mermaid. They are so darn cute! Tell Gabby I need a picture for my wall. And hugs and kisses from Aunt Patty.
