The new toy...

Last summer we borrowed mom's mower (a lot) and debated what type of mower/tractor to get. Then with the crazy, record-setting snow year we had--it was easier to hire someone to clear snow, than to try to do it ourself.

This spring, we started shopping to figure it all out.

We went shopping and really agonized: z turn or tractor.

Eric test drove it and in the end, we decided on the tractor and yesterday, it arrived.

The girls were SO excited to see it and get on it. I don't think Eric or Amara got off of it for 2 hours after we got it. I even ordered pizza for dinner--everyone was so excited, no one would come into the house!

Eric may never come into the house again...
