OzFest

Another weekend filled with visitors and houseguests: namely, Ari and Alex's canine cousin Ozzie bunked in with us while his parents (Aunt Lori & Uncle Sam) attended a wedding in North Carolina. The kids were delighted to have a puppy in the house...Ozzie, on the other hand, seemed a bit puzzled by these tiny people.

Here is Ari welcoming Ozzie to our house...
...and Alex and Ozzie getting to know each other:We also have people-houseguests this weekend, Cousins Alan and Nicole from New York City. Cousins Denise and Jason are also in town from upstate New York, and Miri and Opa had everyone over for an early dinner on Saturday afternoon. Here are all four of the youngest cousins modeling the "Treble Maker" T-shirts Miri bought them:

Finally, some shots from earlier this week taken while playing in Ari's sunlit bedroom:

Ari clapping on cue to the song "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands" (this is her favorite new "trick"...and yes, she claps at exactly the appropriate moments in the song):

Alex acting silly:
