Today was a very special day, one I thought wouldn't happen for a few months. But thanks to modern medicine, and the miracles of prayers and fasting, we were able to bless our sweet Mylah today!
We are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and are privileged through the Priesthood, to give our babies a name and a blessing during our Sunday meeting. It isn't one of what we call our saving ordinances, but it is an important one none-the-less.
So with our family and friends gathered, we blessed Mylah. And what a blessing it was. Neil has an amazing way with words, and listened to the Spirit, while blessing Mylah with those things she needed most. It was beautiful. I was moved to tears, as were many others.
After our meeting was over we invited everyone to our house for a Sunday brunch.
Nothing too fancy, but it was delicious! We served fresh fruit and dip, a breakfast casserole, cinnamon rolls, orange rolls, pumpkin scones, and mini pop-tarts. Various juices and milk were provided as well.
I rushed to have pictures taken so that Mylah could go eat, unfortunately our family of five picture didn't turn out very good, but I was glad to have captured what we could.

Cousins played together, the playroom was put to good use, and we spent a few hours visiting and enjoying each others company, while snuggling and loving our sweet Mylah.
Those present were, Grandma and Grandpa C., Aunt Jennifer, Grandma and Papa H., Uncle Kyle and Aunt Geri and their kids, Uncle Wade and Aunt Jessica and their kids, Mylah's nurse from the PICU (who we love dearly) Laura M., Kati G. and her kids and Erik and Savannah F. and their kids! It was a house full of love! :)
Later, I snapped the must-have pictures of Mylah while she was sleeping. Wearing Rylee's dress, which is now the family blessing dress, she shined for the camera!
Thank you to everyone who came, thank you for supporting our precious girl, we love and cherish each of you!

Neil does have a way with words. Mylah's baby blessing was so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt may be difficult to get a perfect family shot, but you got some great ones of Mylah in her blessing dress. Such a little angel. :)
