What is new here?

Well, we did close on our home in Grand Rapids. That is such a relief.
After two consecutive weeks of very sick children we are finally enjoying good health. Reid and Sydney, despite having the flu shots, both had a bout of influenza and were each sick for an entire week. So, even though the greenhouses started back up again in the beginning of February, this was the first week we were able to enjoy the activity. Reid and Elyse are able to go to work with me and they have a great time running off lots of energy. My dad built a little fenced in play area for the kids so that we could keep them contained. After one day, Elyse found a way to squeeze herself through the rails and now can escape whenever she wants. On Friday, Reid was so tired, he said he was going to bed at 7:00 and tucked himself into bed and went to sleep in minutes.
Sydney has been going to school full time since January and is still doing well. One of her friends is moving back to Japan and so that is making her sad. before we started in the greenhouse she was disappointed to have snow days. Now she wants one just so she can spend a day with us in the greenhouses. She is just a little jealous of her siblings.
Tom is still working hard in school. He recently started an additional class this semester that goes for just 6 weeks. He is looking forward to spring break.
I think that is all of our news. Things are busy around here and will continue to get busier as we move into our busy greenhouse season. So I will try to update as often as I can, but it may not be very frequent.
