Sock Babies

We have revived the art of making dollies from socks!  I have vivid memories of receiving darling sock babies from Mrs. Campbell, and have always wanted to pass on the joy that those little dollies gave me.  Here is the first creation - -it started out as a bear and turned into Ms. Violet, the purple piggy!  It was hard to stop -- we kept accessorizing her.  She is the colloborative effort of Ellen Falck -- our 9 year-old Swedish neighbor, and yours truly.  

We are enjoying  a long three-day weekend here in Shanghai.   We bought a new 4 man tent and the kids and slept out in the backyard on Thursday evening.   Last night we watched the movie BOLT and loved it -- very cute.  

Our Ayi is off visiting her daughter for four days (after holding the fort down for 10 days while I was gone) and so Jeff and I are re-learning housekeeping.  It is over-rated!  

More later.  Hope that you are all doing well.
