Happy Birthday Omma!

Regin has a special message for Omma. We've been working on this the past couple of days. It was much better yesterday, but anyway here goes...

Something is wrong with my camera so a chunk of this is missing. I tried to get him to sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", which is the one he sings the most, but he sang more "Little Boxes" instead. He can actually sing almost the whole song (and it's recognizable) with "Twinkle, Twinkle" but I haven't gotten him to do it by request, maybe I will have to be sneaky and hide the camera sometime so you all can hear his beautiful humming. :)

Some of his current vocab...

I hope you like your present. It should arrive today. Let me know when it does so I can post it up here for people to see.

Regin's getting so great with his words. I can't believe he's talking! Lyric is impressed. Check out my blog for her reaction :).; 8/28/2008 12:16 AM

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.
