farming

I have a feeling my little man is going to be
spending lots of time with his daddy in the future.
Learning how to be a farm boy of course.
But for now, we just visit daddy.
Joel is busy planting corn these days.
They work pretty late, so Levi and I went out to visit him in the field.
Otherwise, Levi might never get to see him!
Joel told him all about his fancy new planter.
And his green tractor.
We like our tractors green, right Levi?
And Levi even got to go for his first tractor ride.
No smiles.
He was too busy checking everything out.
About five minutes into our ride
the sun was going down and Levi fell asleep.
I am considering sending him out to the field for all of his naps.
Maybe that would solve our cat-napping problem.
Poor Joel got the flu yesterday.
Planting and the flu is not a good combination.
I’m just hoping Levi and I don’t get it too!

    I love seeing pics of your little man. Thanks for posting them! My husband and I are having a little boy in August and the theme to his room is “My Little Farm.” It is adorable.

    My husband had the flu/bacterial infection over the weekend as well and I was keeping my fingers crossed that I didn’t get it, too. So far so good!

    Take care!

    He asked to see my big green tractor, I pointed to his daddy’s little green riding lawnmower. He wasn’t impressed.ReplyCancel
