Yay! A package!

Sometimes I get indecisive about whether I should post things like this in the time line of my travel journal, or if I should just post as it happens. Today I'm opting for the latter.

We received a package!!! We've been waiting on the new diapers for a while. JoAnn kindly went and bought me a new batch of my favorite diapers from Tiny Birds Organics in Austin, Texas! (They no longer sell their diapers online). I don't know if the diapers got stuck in customs or at Agilent, but there was a fair bit of a delay between shipping and receipt. Also in there was a knitted diaper cover, yay! Thanks SO much JoAnn! Muah!

Agilent combined my mom's package with JoAnn's so we were also excited to meet "Ducky" who was traveling along with the new diaper stash. Ducky is referred to by name already and has received numerous kisses.

How about some fashion/babywearing photos? I'm wearing one of my new hand-embroidered tops from Sam's Batik (post to follow), skinny jeans, and of course, Regin. He was so adamant about taking a nap that he went and found this wrap and dragged into my office saying, "Back! Back!" (He wanted to go on Mamma's back.)

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.
