Weekend in CT

Last weekend we packed up the car and headed to CT to spend the weekend with Mike's cousin Dan and his wife Jaymie. They enticed us by promising to take care of the kids while we could go out and have some alone time, and when we got there they treated us like we were VIP guests! Jaymie and Dan are great hosts, and we really didn't need to be coaxed into a visit, but I have to say it was REALLY nice getting to use their spa size bath tub... complete with jets and all.

Vince got to "play" with his cousins Zach and Lexi. I put play in quotations because he mainly just whined/screamed and tried to hoard all the trains from Zach's table the whole time.
It was pretty frustrating. I'd say he is getting a little better about the whole sharing thing, but it's still a challenge for us. He got his share of time outs that's for sure. Jaymie is going to invite Vince back for a 'Brino bootcamp'...to shape him up!

We also spent some time visiting Aunt Ninucci, she was so happy to see Vince and meet Zoë. Apparently when Dan told her we were coming over to visit, she didn't know who it was and kept saying no, that she didn't want any visitors. After several re-explanations, she finally figured out who was coming with their babies and then she was all excited. It was at her house that Mike's Uncle Tony took a look at Vince and then says "oh, it's a German baby" (guess he was hoping for more Italian?! haha!)
