my family
I am married to Anas El Balaa, who was my colleague at uni in 1995. Anas is into computer networking, and is crazy about IT! He is cool, smart, down-to-earth and very supportive. Adam (born on May 14 2003) is our little bundle of joy. He is the cutest thing I've ever seen or held, and he is already half my size!!! Meet Adam in Adam's Corner and Photogallery.
My parents are Adel & May Sinno. I have two sisters Maya and Nadine, and a brother Samer. Despite the geographical distances, we share a special bond. Miss them all!
