I am really loving being a realtor!

In the past couple of weeks, I feel like I have hit a stride where I am more confident in my abilities and thus am able to work from home more and more.

This freedom has resulted in some good times and great pictures!

I also have to say I genuinely love the job of being a professional realtor.  It is right in my wheelhouse to get to work with people and help them to find the right home.  I love the math, the problem solving, the scheduling!  Most of all, I love the relationships I am creating with customers and fellow realtors!

Here are pictures too cute not to share, but with no specific theme:

We will be sad to see Nicole and Liam move, but are so excited for this next phase of their adventure!  I know Brandon will be happy to see them when they cross the pond next week!

(Alexander and I had been at the park for over an hour and a half at this point....he is hot and tired, but not unhappy, I swear!)

While waiting for Nicole and Liam to get to the park, we did some turtle watching.

On one of my work from home days this week, we enjoyed a morning at the Young Philosopher's Club at the mall

Being around the older girls, Potatoes managed to play with play doh for 15 minutes straight while only taking one tiny little taste!

Usually play doh lasts all of 5 minutes, because most of it has begun the digestion process.

Afterwards, the tots went driving

He had so much fun, he asked for hot dog keys the rest of the afternoon!

I forgot to take pictures until it was just Laura, Nicole, and baby Liam left, but we had a little get together after school on Wednesday.  Lucy and Kiera had already headed home.

I feel so blessed to have such great friends who don't mind the casual atmosphere of my somewhat organized home!

My mom got us this beaver get up that always looked too big.  I finally put it on him, and it was way too small...with no foot holes!

Perfect for pictures, though!

Sometimes he gets chick-fil-a ice cream on the way home from school if he has nice hands with his friends

This little guy keeps us laughing

The other day he started singing wheels on the bus, prompting me through the song.  In his version, the baby said, "wah, wah, wah"

the mama said, "I love you"

and the daddy, well he said, "I love you, puppy"

This kid knows how much Daniel loves Zoey!

He has this funny obsession with trees.  He likes to sit on our shoulders and be ran into the low hanging branches....

He loves to run down the street, yelling "RUNNING!" and then fall (purposely), say "oh no!" and then get back up and do it again...and again...and again...

Daniel is out of town right now, and Xander is really missing him.  He wakes up saying, "daddy home?" and likes to say "hi daddy" to all the pictures of Daniel around the house.  When we saw the turtle at the park, he kept saying, "daddy turtle."  I'm glad Daniel went on this short trip, as I think it will help prepare for when he leaves for a much longer time come November.

When he sees pictures of himself, he says,"Tay-toes!"

We love you, Potatoes!
