Regin's First Ever Video

Don't worry, I am currently working on some new Penang/Malaysia posts, and I'm working on my diet and my mood is improving. (Just wish I could improve this internet connection I have!) I should have something up very soon with catch up and recent stuff, but in the meantime have a look at this. This is one of the things I found on one of the hard drives that shipped over here from the States. Regin's first ever video. He was a few days shy of a month old here...

Can you believe it??? Look at those skinny little legs!!!

Try vimeo for the videos. I find that they compress less. Even though you do an initial compression for youtube, they compress again and then videos look like crap.; 4/23/2008 10:40 AM

I started using it to make my YouTube videos because compressor (that comes with Final Cut) wasn't giving me the same easy output with good quality. This one, is the only one that has come out junky looking. Guess I need to go back and tweak my usual settings. :(; 4/23/2008 6:37 PM

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.
