End of the School Year

As we wind down the last few days of this school year we said goodbye to our long time house-helper Jaffar who retired this month.   Jaffar has worked for us since we moved to Dhahran and worked for Ben’s family when he was growing up in Dhahran.

In other news we said goodbye to Kai’s long hair.   He had been growing it out for quite sometime and was really enjoying the mop-head but it finally got too much and he decided to get it cut short for summer.  Enjoy the pics!

More cell phone pics…

Nora runs to the commissaryKai gets a haircutI’m trying to get more milage out of the fact that my phone has a camera.  You’d think that would come in handy and I’d use it all the time but the truth is I rarely think of it.  Also, it takes really bad pictures in all but the best lighting.  However, with that said these two are viewable.   The first picture is of Nora running ahead of us on the way to the mail center.  When she really gets going she throws her arms back (to reduce drag I assume).  The second picture is of Kai getting a hair cut.  He’s come a long way since the days of “hold him down and cut it short, quick!”   He actaully seemed to enjoy it this time but did establish the ground rule of “only scissors, no buzzer.”
