Santa Monica Bluffs

These super cool photos were taken with an old, vintage camera that was given to Bryan by his Aunt Di. Most of these shots were taken by our friend, Greg.

Romantic Evening for 3

Happy belated Valentine's Day! We had the most fun Valentine's Day...maybe the best ever! Bryan was supposed to work all day, but was able to sneak home early. We heard a knock at the door around 2:00, and I looked through the peep hole in the door, expecting it to be the FedEx guy...but it was daddy! He came home and surprised us both with beautiful roses (a bouquet for mommy and a single red rose for Willa). 

Willa's first Valentine's Day rose. She kept smelling it and smiling.

We ended up going to a romantic dinner for 3 at a place called "Giggles and Hugs". It is a very cool restaurant that is geared towards families with small children. There is a pretty good menu and an awesome play area for the babies. Willa was in heaven! And honestly, so were we. There needs to be more restaurants with this concept. 

Wine for mommy and daddy :)

Having a blast.

Willa ran around like crazy with a huge smile pasted on her face. As usual, she made a few new buddies. 

Sliding down feet first. 

Wagon ride

This little boy became smitten with Willa. He was following her around for a while and kept holding her hand. 

Towards the end of the night, there was even a dance party. Willa was NOT a happy camper when we had to leave around her bedtime. She kinda threw a tantrum. I think she would have stayed all night if we would have let her. 

Although our Valentine's Days are quite different from what they used to be...this one will be remembered forever. XO

Fun Days

We've been trying to get out of the apartment everyday to go to the park or the ocean...A good way for Willa to get some exercise and blow off some steam. Here are some photos from the past week:

Mommy and Willa

Daddy and Willa 

She loves Eddie! 

Miss Independent loves trying to go off on her own.

She loved climbing through the sculpture. 

Willa has been using her spoon all by herself. She's getting better at it every day!

I went out for a run yesterday...and came home to this :)

Feeling Better

We have had a rough couple of weeks of the whole family being sick on and off. Willa is just getting over an ear infection and an upper respiratory infection. It finally seems like she's getting better and back to her old self!
