once we went back to school she started talking about combining with papa this fall. she started to watch the corn on our drive home after school. she did not want to miss harvest time. she noticed the corn starting to turn from green to brown. she became more concerned. i would email nana and give maggie an update on papas corn. soon those email updates became not good enough. so we would call nana....checking to see if papa was in the field. then we would call nana, hang up, and have to call papa to double check. papa promised maggie that he would not go to the field without letting her know. she believe him, but we still had to call to check in here and there. finally last weekend maggie got to have all her harvest dreams come true.
- the big girls went to nana and papas all by themselves. cece said it is super fun to go without me.
- they slept together in a queen size bed. reports tells us cece sang to maggie on friday night to put her to sleep.
- saturday the girls combined with papa. maggie fell asleep.
- after attending a surprise birthday party, papa told maggie if she stayed awake on the ride home they could go combine in the dark. you better believe she stayed awake. as the story goes papa said to the girls "you can check combining in the dark off your list." and maggie said "check!"
- sunday afternoon papa took all the kiddos out for a combine ride. maggie said she didn't need any help climbing into the combine and jake enjoyed it just as much as the girls did.
