A Very Special Weekend

On Saturday Millie was given a name and a blessing by her father.

It was a very special day for us, especially now that we know a little more how Heavenly Father sees this little girl.

All Saturday morning as I was getting Millie ready I couldn't get these lyrics out of my head:

Sent to this earth, you were saved through the ages for this day and time.
Child of great worth, child of promise, daughter of the divine;
Pure and holy, in a little white dress
You were held in a circle and you were blessed.
And the Father looked down and the angels surrounded that place.
They knew the truth—all that you could do
And you will too if you have eyes to see
What heaven sees in you

What is this girl meant to do? Can I teach her what she needs to know? I love wearing the "Millie's Mom" title. I'm so proud of this little girl.

This weekend was also special because...

Millie's cousin, Nora was also blessed too!

Nora is a little better at these photo shoots.

We had a wonderful weekend filled with lots of family! Here are just a few of the pictures:

My wonderful mother made them matching smocked dresses.

My father is so happy to have these girls to hold finally, but...

no one loves babies more than my step-mom Vivian!

Millie loved meeting Grammy and Gramps

and seeing Buck's dad, too!

Millie and Nora might not have enjoyed this stroller ride too much, but my awesome cousin Ruby sure did!

Millie's baby blessing was wonderful! I enjoyed the actual blessing, the chance to dress Millie up in a 4 foot long dress, all of the amazing food, and of course showing her off to our family and friends.

We are so thankful for all the friend and family that came to meet Millie. We look forward to making our rounds so everyone gets to see our little miracle first-hand.
