Yeah I am aware that today is November 30th, and this post is not only a month late, but also after the thanksgiving post, sorry about that. Kim kicked my butt in gear today, and let me know that I completely forgot to upload the halloween pictures….so they are uploaded now.

Check them out here

Happy thanksgiving to all of our friends and family!

Last night we went to Hershey park for the Hershey Christmas Candy Lane celebration.  I personally have never been to Hershey park before this, it was a long drive but all in all I think we had a good time.  Oliver had fun pushing (instead of riding in) his stroller, and got to snack on some pop corn.  We rode a few rides, and played a few games, and got a glass of free hot chocolate.

Well I moved the site onto a server that I am using for other various website projects, and a bunch of problems have come of it. I won’t bore anyone with the details (this is a family blog, not ‘here is Davids rantings on stupid techinical problems’ blog), but long story short…..there was a problem with the previous hosting provider (which is still open), which made the site look like it was working fine in the new location and then out of nowhere the entire site no longer existed. I set up an account with another company for DNS management to resolve the problem (since it has been almost 2 days and my site, and email has been completely down for everyone and they havent even responded to my support ticket). This is a somewhat temporary solution since other domain registrars provide DNS management right with the domain registration (which i believe my old host does too - but it didnt work right, and thats what caused the site to be down for 2 days). So sometime soon I will probably transfer the Domain Name to another company that does DNS management, and cancel the extra DNS account, but for now I just am going to leave things as they are, and enjoy the site actually working for a change again.

In other news, our family photos are in their own subdomain now so you can get to them easily by simply going to http://photo.larrabeefamily.com

since the site has moved from a Linux shared hosting to a Windows Virtual Private server a few things had to change.  So if you for some reason had bookmarks or links directly to a picture - they are likely not to work anymore, also I have to modify all the previous blog entries so that the pictures and links show properly (so far I have updated everything from today back to the first day of our Orlando Vacation)
