Linda, I think you can call the grandparents Avo I have heard it used we just always used Vavo. It's like calling your grandfather, grandfather vs. grandpa or as they say here in Texas, Paw-Paw. It's much less formal. Just as we never in our family called our mother mae, always mama. And thanks to Carlos for the spelling, that is how I was taught to spell also, I just don't know how to put in the diacritical marks on the computer! Maria Natalia
