July Photos & Moments

Regin Loves Bathtime

People ask me if Regin cries when we bathe him. The only time he has was when we used one of those baby baths. When I have bathed with him in the tub, or bathed him in our sink... no problems.

A Visit With the Hurley Cousins

Annika & Bear (Berint) came to visit from Boise, and we all went over to Jake & Elias's house in Golden. My Dad had requested we get a photo of "the boys," "the kids," and "the baby." Ha!

Annika learned how to bottle feed Regin, while Jake practiced his drumming.

Then we went and did a family line up in the back yard, and JoAnn Mostir got some snuggle time.

Elisabeth's Training Hard
I'm working really hard on that half-marathon training. Monica snapped these on the sly while I was seeing how long I could run without stopping (11.5 mins as it turns out). Regin watches Mamma do her thing.

So far training is kicking my butt. But I'm definitely seeing a difference, so that feels good. I just hope my joints hold out. They are giving me grief with all this strain on them.

Snoozy Boy

Isn't he sweet? I snapped this while we were holding some auditions for a salsa dance troupe. I just love seeing him snuggle with his little toy.

Playing With His Baby Einstein Play Center

He loves that thing. He has figured out how to grab the dangly star & ball, and put the ball through the hoop. He knows how to make the music play, and turn the dial that makes cat, dog & duck sounds. It's so fun to watch.

Roll Over Regin!
Big day yesterday! I happened to look down from my computer and see just as Regin rolled over for the first time! Here is a snapshot from his first rolling success!

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.
