At Church this past Sunday, Kaya received her baby blessing! I was really looking forward to it, and I’m glad that I was able to finish her dress for the occasion (Michael’s mom helped me a bit, and credit for sewing on the last snap goes to Jeff and Lelia). I procrastinated finishing it for about a month, so maybe I should start working on her baptism dress soon- that way I’ll have about 8 more years to be sure it’s done! Haha. It turned out just how I had envisioned it.

I was surprised to find that I cried during the blessing (actually, I started tearing up as soon as Michael started carrying her up to the front of the chapel)! Didn’t see that coming at all.

The blessing was so beautiful, but it wasn’t really the words- it was the feeling evoked by it. The Spirit was definitely there.

Our daughter is a real angel, and I am so grateful to have her in my life. Her name actually means “pure”, and I think it fits her perfectly. I can’t wait to learn and grow right along with her over the years.

We had four generations there to see Kaya be blessed. There’s no better time than family time! I’m so glad everyone could come and that we had a really fun weekend together (but we did miss Kevin).

We all love you so much, little girl.
