Photo Catch Up -- February 09

Finally put up an album for February photos. It begins with George's birthday (even though that was in the middle of the month) because the album was originally just an album for his birthday pictures. But there are lots more to look at after that.

Here are the February highlights...

Regin & I went for a nice wintery walk in the park.

We saw geese and this squirrel...

Papi introduced Regin to Piper, our snake.

Cool dude at the restaurant

We picked up a little Regin at the store...

Another trip to the park...

Regin insisted on holding that ball while sliding!

One day, Regin made a new friend at the park. And he's a Spanish-speaking friend too! Sad though, we haven't seen him since then.

I had lunch with the girls:

I'm guessing the camera can actually add 20-30 lbs as I was still relatively slim when this was taken.

Happy Birthday to George!

Regin & I made a banner.

To celebrate, we had some friends over for a LOST night, and Regin got to make a new friend in the process. He and Kian really hit it off even though Regin is generally SUPER shy.

Regin got to try out grocery shopping:

We visited the play area at the Flatirons Mall:

Kids have to be bare foot, but Regin refused to take off his jacket and hat! He sure does love it there though. And he has since become a master at climbing even the taller dinosaurs (which can be a little nerve-wracking to watch).

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.
