Update

We’ve been enjoying our time here in Sa… pics will be forthcoming. Momon (Saba’s grandma and Tara’s great-grandma) arrived last week from LA which has been so nice, and Uncle Pattie arrived yesterday from Auckland now that his school year is over. Last week we attended our first Feast in over 2 1/2 years (we actually hosted it), and it was Tara’s first ever. It was Arbor Day, a public holiday, on Friday, so it was a long weekend here. We went out to lunch with mom and dad and met up with almost all of the Tiapapata community It’s weird to go back to Saturday-Sunday weekends again. We didn’t attend the Sunday service at the Temple because of rain so Tara and I got all dressed up but nowhere to go, so we stayed home and watched cable. I haven’t had the chance to meet up with my school mates yet (Nyd and Erika, if you’re reading this, I haven’t forgotten you! wanna see you guys). The big buzz in town is the Miss South Pacific Pageant, which will be held this Friday. Tomorrow Saba and Khosrow are off to Auckland for business. Saba will return early next week so he can spend more time with Tara before he heads back to Haifa at the end of the month. Tara and I are going to stay in Sa longer and will head to the States with my family mid-December, returning to Haifa in January. Tara is growing up beautifully… she’s chatting and giggling with her aunty Nasime at the moment while I type this up. This morning we took her to the doctor to discuss immunizations, so this Friday she gets the TB jab (sob). Meanwhile I’ve still been stuffing my face with oka and talo and luau and fa’i and McPinati’s. Gotta go feed now.
