Dates, a Ballerina and Prom

The palms are now laden with dates that are green at the moment. In the groomed trees, they are tied off to form bunches.


Madeline had her ballet recital on Friday. She performed in three dances and looked so well poised.


Connor had prom on the same night. The theme was Arabian nights, and when we pulled up to the venue, they had camels and horses to help set the stage.

Band Concert

We had the opportunity to attend the middle school band concert.  You can see Stuart as a percussionist at the back.  The band was combined with a band from another school so all of the instruments were represented and the music played was outstanding.

Doha Debates

Rob and I have now been to two of the Doha Debate forums.  These debates are broadcast on the BBC.  The topic for this session was: This House believes Arab governments need to take urgent measures to protect religious minorities.
