My mum's visit

It was really lovely to see my mum. In fact the first day she arrived we got the piano (after the mani pedi). Ruby - delighted to see her, and very eager to receive all the presents she bought for her while she was here..

Lots of barbies in the garden:

We had a night at ours when my cousin Yossi happened to be in NY with his wife Lilach and very well behaved kids Dassy and Stav. We also had Ethan and Vanessa over and Charlie and Roberta. Alot of Wantmans in one place, does not happen often.

But then happened again in Boston. We did a really nice long weekend in Newton where alot of our family are. It was my great uncle Sylvan's 93rd birthday so all their kids came into town. Sylvan and Florence were on brilliant form as normal, Peggy & John were there, Richard came from Seattle, Saul Abarbanel (Yossi's dad) who's usually in Israel happened to be in Providence so came down for the evening, and Andy was there with his beautiful kids Rebecca & Emily.

We don't have much extended family in the UK so it feels great to be with all our lovely U.S. family, we've had such a nice time. Although of course mixed with a bit of sadness as it makes me miss my dad alot.

Ruby had much fun climbing furniture with Rebecca & Emily.
