Josh and Hannah's Wedding

Our good friends Josh and Hannah got married this weekend. The Seppala family definitely played their part. Anya was the flower girl, Dan was a groomsmen, I was the personal attendant, and Dan's two sisters (Kristin and Kari) were bridesmaid and maid of honor. The wedding was beautiful and we had a great time. Here are some of the pics from that!

Blue Eyed Girl

I don't know where they came from, but I love Anya's blue eyes. She can totally pull of wearing blue.

Our sweet little Anya-verine

We are starting to suspect our little princess has some abilities we didn't know about. . . .

one more thing

Oh, I forgot to mention that Anya is a pro at walking now. She walks 99% of the time and barely crawls. She has also tried to run a few times. It is so cute! I'll have to take another video of her and how good at it she is now.

Pismo Beach

well, that could have been more of a disaster. It was so windy that the sand would rip your face off. I got about a bucket full of sand in my eyes and my hair was wipping around viciously. Anya was crying...not good. We were there all of about 10 minutes. Here's how much Anya liked it. A few days later, though, we went to another beach that was nice and calm.. Dan and Brian went paddle boarding while Kari and I worked on our tans. Anya had a great time and played on the blanket in the sand. She was a perfect Angel that day.

Gainey Vineyard

We took a trip to Gainey Vineyard and sampled their fabulous wines. They were so good. Their syrah and pinot noir were our favorites.

Santa Barbara

I was nervous leading up to the trip to Santa Barbara, wondering how Anya would do on the plane. She did amazing! She had a bottle on take off and fell asleep spread across both of our laps. She slept for about an hour and a half. Then woke up and played with her toys and books. She made a couple of fussy noises, but really not anything that people would have been annoyed with. We landed in LA and then had to take the smallest plane ever into Santa Barbara. It was only a 20 min flight! So to make up for being a good girl on the plane, she proceeded to have the worst night of sleep ever in her entire life including being a new born. She was screaming and wailing, and there was nothing we could do to help her. We almost thought about taking her to the hospital. But then she was great the next 5 nights. Then 2 nights ago, she cried really hard for an hour. So we decided she is teething again and I went and got some teething tablets from wallgreens and she slept from 8:00pm until 9:30 am! wow. She has been taking good naps though. Anyway, here are a few pictures of Santa Barbara from the pier and of Anya in her little backpack.
