Two weeks already?!?

Today brings to a close my second week back at work. In some ways, I feel like I wasn't really gone that long but there have been changes at the old workplace, enough that it's noticeable. Still waiting on uniforms and a work van, but it's nice to be out fixing things again. So far as I know, the triplets haven't freaked out that I'm not at home, but they do have Grandma and Grandpa to keep them entertained. Sydney says "Grandma" and "Grandpa" very clearly and points to them, even when they're upstairs in their bedroom. Very sharp, that girl. She also has started trying to sing along with some songs, like Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and Old MacDonald. Emily gets in on it sometimes, too. They got a set of three sparkly books from their Aunt Nancy and Uncle Danny in Ohio, The Wheels on the Bus, Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush and Old MacDonald Had A Farm. It took a few time hearing Emily or Sydney say (what sounded like) "Yai-yo" before I realized they were saying "E-I-E-I-O" very fast. Noah's speech therapy is starting to kick in, he's trying more words and he wants to be read to as much as the girls now.

I definitely get a kick out of coming home from work and hearing them say "Daddy!" or even "Hi, Daddy!"

As far as the actual work goes, it was like riding a bicycle. On my third day back I was taking calls on my own and fixing fire panels. That's what Simplex was hoping for when they brought me back, and I'm glad I wasn't too rusty.

Hi John, Amy and little ones! I just checked your site and looked at all the pics. The kids are getting so big! And sooooo cute!! I sure wish we lived closer. Amy, we're sure praying that you keep your job. I know this has to be a difficult time for you and John. God will take care of it so hang in there! How great that you got your job back, John!

I'm doing very well. In between treatments right now (next round is week of 4/6) and tomorrow I can rejoin the world! I will be past my 10 day period after chemo when I'm most at risk. I really miss going to church.

We are big Columbus Blue Jackets Hockey fans (Greg is the in-house announcer) and it looks like they are going to the playoffs this year for the first time ever! It's the only sport I follow. I get obsessed over it and Uncle Danny and I fight over the sports page! Just kidding. Well...kind of.

I had a nice long talk with your mom the other evening and she probably updated you on our family so I'll end now. Just know that we love all of you so very much and pray for the best for you and your sweet little children.

Give kisses to Noah, Emily and Sydney from Aunt Nancy & Uncle Danny!!!
