Willa's First Day of School

This post is about a month and a half late, but I wanted to document her first day of school photos. She is in the "Apple" class this year and continues to love school. Her teachers this year are Miss Grace and Miss Kristen. 

Summer 2014

We traveled for a large portion of our summer. Daddy filmed a movie in Cleveland, so we spent time in Cleveland, Detroit and Charleston. It was an awesome Summer with lots of time spent with family and friends.

Birmingham, MI. Face painting at the park with cousins, Grant and Kate.

We could not keep Willa away from Ray Charles. She wanted to hold him every second of the day- He was a very good sport about it.

Grandma & Nana Visits

This past week, we were especially lucky because both Grandma...then Nana came to visit! We had great times with both. 

Grandma, Willa & Daddy after Willa's end of VBS (vacation bible school) party. 

We drove down to Terranea the day after Nana arrived for lunch on the ocean. 

Willa put on my hat and sunglasses and said "I'm Kristen". 

Willa and Aunt Patti watching a huge school of dolphins swim by. 

Nana and Willa at Manhattan Beach. They both got soaked by waves...and poor Nana was wearing white pants. 

Play date at Beckett's house. 

Disneyland...Not only did Nana and Grandma visit, but my dear friend, Maureen and her family were in town for a week (staying in Manhattan Beach). We got to see them several times, and Willa really loves playing with her kids. 

This photo was taken as the Pirates of the Caribbean ride shut down while we were in a dark cave. As if the ride isn't scary enough...we were stuck for about 20 minutes. Willa handled it very bravely. 

Willa and Ryan were 2 peas in a pod. We are excited to get to Cleveland so they can have lots of play dates. 

Willa received a package in the mail from Aunt Tori with the cutest swimsuit (complete with swim cap). :)
