Busy times for the Green Family

Well, it has been a while since I have given an update. Time has just flown and I don't even know where the hours in the day go! Life has been great for us, but we have definitely been staying busy. Eron continues to stay busy with work. This past week was just crazy. The local Lakeland and the state offices for the children's home, which are located on this campus all moved into the new office building, The Piper Children's Center. It is a beautiful building. But this past week there was a lot that needed to be done to make it presentable for the board meeting and building dedication that took place this weekend. We spent a lot of time finding things to make his office pretty and getting it ready with pictures hung and all. I think one night we were there until 12am trying to get pictures hung on the wall. The building dedication was on Saturday. It was nice but oh my was it hot at three o'clock in the afternoon. I thought I would die, ok not really.

We have a lot going on in the coming weeks. Next week we are going to Charleston, SC for annual Baptist Childcare Executive Conference. Eron has been going to these for the past few years but i have not been able to go because of school. But this year I get to go and I cannot wait. I love Charleston! We get to go on a dinner cruise and carriage ride to name a few things. So, it should be fun. Then we get back and then the next week we go to Jacksonville to go to a golf tournament. My dad is coming that week to meet us there, so that will be nice. After that we come back and go to El Paso, where we will be there for about 10 days! I cannot wait. We get to see family and friends and Ryan, Jen, Elle and Renner and Judy and some friends of ours from Portales. Cannot wait! That is just a few things that we have going on. But there are many other things that we will be out of town for with Eron's work this summer. When am I going to find time to go to Disney World???

I have met a new friend, Kallie, she is so fun. Her hubby David works for the state offices here and they live near Tampa but will be moving to Lakeland in may. I cannot wait! It will be so nice to have a friend here. I miss friends. She is a great photographer, also, check her out. I have added a link to her website.

Harper is doing wonderful as usual. She is still so fun and is getting so big. Eron thinks that she is chunky, but I sure dont see it. She has a few rolls on her legs but that is it! We all have a few rolls, well not all of us, but I do, ha! She is eating and likes every vegetable that I feed her, including green peas and green beans! and she loves fruits! She is starting to sit up better on her own and we are still waiting on those darn teeth. She loves people, going for walks around the lake, doing anything outside, her exersaucer, reading books, watching TV, petting the dogs and anything that has texture. She loves to feel things just like I do. There is really not a whole lot that makes her mad. Pretty much just a dirty diaper and being hungry. She is taking about two good naps a day. She goes to sleep now about 845 and wakes up about 7am. It has been wonderful to get some great sleep. She likes to scream at me and I scream back, which I should have never done, because of course she expects me to scream back when she screams in a restaurant. Oh my, it is funny.

Well, this is way long but just wanted to give an update. I will try to update sooner so it is not as long, ta ta for now!
