Big Smiles

I'm back to blogging after a fun weekend in Sandestin with Shana and Zach and the babies.  We had an awesome time and I have lots and lots of photos to share.  Coming back to work on a Monday is never fun and I've spent the last two days reconnecting with clients and trying to get some deals to the closing table. :-).  I'm always amazed that every time I leave town, things that had been dead for weeks start to pick up..That brings me to the good luck of my first blog..the house I put a picture of went under contract the next day AND I had people from 4 different countries pull up my blog AND I had 5 old friends reconnect with me on  Facebook.  Now that makes this mama smile (and Syd too!!!)

*SMILE*

Syd Still Smiling.  I'm sure the beer helps Todd get his smile on...he stopped smiling soon after the UGA/UK game started.

The best part of the beach in October was the great weather (and Beerfeast).   Shana and Zach went with us and I was a little obsessed with taking pictures of Joe and Sydney together.  It's so cute they are 2 months apart. Joe's nickname is Smiley Joe, and you'll see why is just a moment.  Also, it's kinda funny to note that Sydney doesn't seem to have a neck, it looks like her head is glued on to her body.  Don't worry, I asked Dr. Koenig where it was at the 4 month visit and she assured me that she did in fact have one.

Joe always tries to grab Sydney's hair and ears, it makes her so mad.  

On the way home, we had to stop by the boy's favorite place and I took pictures for them...It's called the Gator Stop.  It's a gas station in Eufaula, Al.  The gas station backs up to the swamp and gators are just hanging out for us to see!

all the other lookers..

Thumbs and Smiles

Gator time.  Shana told me not to get eaten so she and Zach don't get stuck with our 3 kids. 

Alright, time to stop reminiscing about my relaxing vacation and get back to answering emails and back to WORK!

I'll leave you with a couple more pictures, because I know you love them!  Also, mom, I'm going to work on getting some pictures of us without alcohol in our hands...but for now, this is all I've got, it helps keep the smiles on our faces!

daddy duty.

Introducing the kids to TV early.  Shana thinks Joe already likes cartoons which makes me laugh!!

Happy Dinner! Miss you Twin!!

To Begin with, I'll overload you with pictures

Today, October 16th 2012 (3 days before my hubby turns 35) I met with my friend, blogger-extrodinar, Stephanie Gallman and asked for some pointers on how to be a blogger.  I've been throwing around the idea for the last couple of months since a) I love to write and b)I think it will be a fun avenue to share my personal and work life in one big swoop and c) it seems like a project I can do with a glass of wine..and seriously, that's really the only way to work.  

 Thus, over an amazing pretzel roll bbq chicken sandwich and some slaw with loads of feta and sun-dried tomatoes, she gave me these words of wisdom to get my blogging career kicked off with a bang: add pictures, lots and lots of pictures.   Done! Easy enough.  So let me start this blog endeavor the right way: with some photo love.  

Todd, my lucky husband,  with his iPad that I'm sure is on Rivals.com giving him never-ending-oh-so-important-UGA football-updates.

Easley (my oldest baby) watching over his little sister Sydney.

Shep,  wild child, with never-ending energy (he likes to show his muscles when he sees me with a camera.)

I gotta end with a picture of my mom, aka Nana (Isn't she beautiful??)  I'm hoping she follows me and that she forgives me for writing about wine in my first paragraph.

OK, ONE more picture, because, after all, this blog is about my job as a Realtor  too.  Take a look at the Sloan Team's listing in Smyrna, GA.  The house is perfect for families in a swim and tennis neighborhood with 5 bedrooms and a finished basement.  

Looking forward to much more blogging!!!!!
