August 2009: 17 Months

This August we traded Saba and Savta for Doda Shoshana and Aunt Goldie, who came to visit for a half-rainy, half-gorgeous 10 days in Seattle. Avi learned to scream while playing leggos with "Shooooshi!", play the piano with "Ah Gogie", and do all kinds of cute show-offy things for their visit. A few days later, Aunt Ruth (or "Ah Rufie"), Miriam and Rachel Wasser came for a brief but very fun overnight stay in the Emerald City. Avi has loved all of the attention, and won't know what to do with himself when he only has 2 adoring parents and one Aunt to dote on him in September. Good thing we're going back east in October!
