What's been happening? After a lovely visit with Batgran it was back into the routine of things - work, school, volunteering, soccer and sorts. Matt's cousin Iasepi and his lovely wife Leone from American Samoa were in DC for a church and work conference in October, and we managed to catch up with them for a day.

Fall soccer season has been and gone. Maddy received the award for "always giving 110% at practice and games and always being ready to play on any field, any position, and any time; great attitude!!" (more pictures on my facebook page).
