Patrick is 12!

Somehow my little boy has turned 12.  Wasn't he just a little bitty thing in my arms yesterday?

We once again celebrated by going ice skating.  Mary enjoyed watching the others go by.

You can see Mike helping George get comfortable.

We had some cupcakes too.

We also had some ice cream at home to celebrate.

In other news, we've been attempting to potty train Mary.  She understands what to do, but hasn't figured out the finer details yet.  Don't worry, we're not giving up.  We will get there...soon I hope.
