For the past two weeks, all that has been on our minds is cotton, cotton, and more cotton. It is cotton harvest time and I have not seen my husband but only for blurred moments with eyes half open as he comes in around 11 or 12 at night and leaves about 5:30 in the morning. God blessed us with a good crop this year and the farmers have been working their tails off to harvest it all before any tropical wave, depression, or hurricane can ruin it. We are near the end of ours, but Kris will be doing some custom picking for a few other farmers in the area in the next couple of weeks. On top of the cotton harvest, Kris is balancing his duties with Turfco. August has been a busy month for Turfco and although we are all tired and stressed, we certainly have alot to be thankful for and are so grateful for the business. The kids and I are so grateful for Kris and all he does for us! I hope he knows how much we appreciate him!
The kids and I have ventured out to the cotton picken' sites a few times. My sister in laws, mother in law and I have rotated cooking meals for all the workers (8-10) throughout the last couple of weeks and it is certainly a good feeling to know you are giving the guys a good home cooked meal as they work hard overtime hours. Below are some pics of the kids. They love going out to the fields and certainly LOVE seeing their Daddy!
Silly Sydney- I can't ever get a good pose for the camera. This girl is always on the go!
Future Farmer Keaton and Pa- It's amazing how much they look alike!
Hope ya'll had a great harvest! We will start in October or November and I am looking forward to getting a few pics of Q in the cotton. Love getting to keep up with you and watch your precious family grow through our blogs!
