Halloween Parade 2012

Today was the annual Halloween Parade at the Hills School.  It happened very early this year since people were scattering for the Eid holiday it was now or never.    As is usual, the day of the Halloween Parade was unusually warm and humid.   Also as usual Kai looked like he couldn’t wait for it to be over and Nora loved the stroll in front of her adoring fans.

Nora’s Birthday and a Website Change

Nora turned 6 last month and it has certainly taken me a long time to get photos posted.   My previous webhost that I’ve had since I launched our family website many years ago was not delivering the way I had hoped and and I shopped around I saw that I could be getting more for less.   So I started the process of transferring almost a decade worth of blog over to a new host which was no small task – at least no small task for me who had never done it before.

The website is now hosted on another personal domain of mine shammal.net though the old address redirects and is the best way to get there – just type in bencrystal.net to get to the site as always.  I updated the software that runs the site during the move and a few of the plugins are currently broken such as the gallery.  I’ve got a work around for now and hopefully that will get better.

Anyway – on to the pictures – here are a few from the party…
