Tet

Though we are a little late in posting - here are some photos from Tet (Vietnamese New Year). Its a time for visiting family and friends and celebrating with people. We were invited to a few Tet meals which was lovely.
And the first day of Tet everyone is at home so we decided to go bike riding. I even rode a bicycle down some of the busiest main roads in Hanoi since there were so few cars and motorbikes!

Butterflies

We have many different types of butterflies in our village. Some have just hatched from their cocoons and are waiting for their wings to dry before taking off! There are heaps just on one tree.

Drawing

Claude is learning to draw with crayons (with varying success in not eating them too!) Here are some early efforts.We have many family birthdays in January and February - look out for one of these cards heading your way!
