June 09 Photos

There are two albums for June. The Puerto Rican Fest and the June album which contains everything else we did in June. Highlights below.

We went to the First Friday Art Walk

We went to see my nephew Elias's band play in Golden.

There are some major perks to knowing the drummer.

We continued to do more coloring on rolls of brown paper.

We went to the Puerto Rican Festival as part of our plan to attend more local events in Colorado. (We didn't get very far with that plan this summer since I became pregnant -- found out in June, and became pretty ill in June/July/August.)

That same day was my parents' 45th wedding anniversary! Wow only 5 years to go to 50!!!
We went to a German restaurant in Colorado Springs and met up there with my parents and my sister and her family.

Regin spent a lot of time playing with his Abuela who was staying with us for several weeks.

Meanwhile there is always yard work to do.

Another local (smaller) festival.

We went and had some great fun at the Meyers' annual summer BBQ.

Also did a little swimming.

And said goodbye to Abuela, whom we miss very, very much.

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.
