Working with Daddy

Climbing in!

Tommy and his little buddy!

Tanner was ready to go!

We just finished with corn harvest!! Hooray!!! I can not tell you how excited I am that it is finally over. For those who aren't familiar with this time of year, corn harvest is a lot of work and seems to take FOREVER!!! During harvest, Tommy works very LONG hours, not getting home until after dark. Therefore, he only saw Tanner and I for a few minutes in the morning. This summer was especially hard for me because I had Tanner all by myself all day long. Tanner tends to be a very needy baby so he can wear you out in a hurry. According to my mom, he comes by it honestly. She read me a quote from my baby book the other day, "Samantha loves people and loves to be held. She has a very quick temper." humm...I guess I am getting pay back for all the headaches I caused Mom and Dad!

Anyway, they were harvesting the field that is closest to our house. Tommy sent me a text message, "When you get a chance, could you please bring T down here. He's been begging for a ride in the combine." So I got the little stinker ready, complete with his overalls and cap. I took him to the field and watched them climb in the big combine. Tanner looked so little in that big ole tractor. I came back home and didn't really know what to do with myself. I was weird being home with out Tanner here. My alone time was very short lived because I went to pick Tanner up about 30 minutes later...it was about his nap time. Tommy said that he didn't hardly make a sound the whole time they were riding. He just looked around soaking it all in.

We are very fortunate that Tommy has a job that Tanner can go with him sometimes. I know as Tanner gets older, Tommy will be able to take him to work with him more often. Let me tell ya...Tommy can't wait! Tanner will be driving a tractor before we know it...don't tell his daddy I said that! I am so glad that we have a place that he can run around and experience life in the country. Not many kids have that opportunity anymore. God has blessed us in so many ways!!!
