Reem Visits, Giant Chess, Mother's Day, etc

I had my first Mother's Day yesterday! :) We spent the weekend with my parents in Walsenburg. Below are some Mother's Day and other recent photos...

Reem's Visit

Reem came to visit. Sadly, Regin was having tummy problems so he spent most of her visit either sleeping or crying.

I can't persuade Reem to believe it, but Regin's crying had no reflection on his feelings for or against her!
More pictures of Reem's visit.

Giant Chess or Little Players?

On "Lost Night" last week, George and Patrick played a game of giant chess with our giant chess set we picked up on our honey-versary in Mexico. Cool, huh?

More giant chess photos.

Sleeping Babe

This is today...

Lately I'm really drawn to the imperfect image. Not snapshots, but personal images that are not quite right, but somehow extra right. This photo is one of those for me. I'm seriously thinking of doing a series of art photos along these lines.

More sleeping Regin photos.

How we're doing right now.

April 6th, 2009
Oh man, moving back home has been quite a transition! For Regin especially. It has taken him three months to return to being fully, or almost fully, potty trained. But we're home and happy to be with friends and in an environment where things are easier.

But of course, not everything is easier. George's first day back to work he learned that the company was exiting the business and he and all the other people that work on that product (including all those people he trained in Penang) were told to look for other jobs.

His last day was March 31st. No time for that cozy little 'sabbatical' though; after he finished his last day of work, his family called and told us they are coming (from Florida) for a visit on the 10th! This would be no big deal (other than being terribly exciting) if we were fully moved back in, but of course, until now, we've had VERY little motivation to fully unpack! So now we're preparing the house at warp speed!

You know, I do miss Penang. Hard to say what I miss exactly, because I know it's more than our friends there, but I feel a certain pang. And all the time we were there, other than missing family, friends, easy living, and snow, I never once actually missed 'Colorado.'

When we got back to Colorado, I expected to have a new and complete love for the place. I do appreciate some things a lot more, especially visual things. I see beauty where I didn't before. But it hasn't been the feeling of home that I expected, and I still have some of the same issues with the place. But what I do love IMMENSELY and will always love IMMENSELY is the people we have here. And it's been absolutely amazing to see how Regin has picked right back up where he left off with his loved ones here. There's no doubt in my mind that he somehow remembers them.
