Here is the beautiful guest of honor: Malia Joy Schilling! She was given a name and a blessing on Sunday by her sweet and wonderful dad. So many people that love her were able to come down and visit and stand in as she was given the sweet blessing to be healthy, smart, obedient, a kind and good friend and many other great things! Kirk was so sincere and while he is not a man of many words, his blessing was simple and I loved it:)
Here is our little family! It's still weird to me to say "daughter" and admit that I have a child. Things like that are just crazy, I don't know why! Guess I don't know if I'm quite worthy to have such a sweet and precious little girl. She wore the same blessing dress that I got blessed in when I was 2 months old just like her! How neat is that?!
My side of the family: Uncle Con, Aunt Stacy, Kirk, me and Malia, Mom and Dad. We sure appreciated all the love and support from everyone, thank you!
Kirk got Malia ready the morning of the big day. Gave her a bath, dressed her and then attempted to put on some super awesome and rad pink skate shoes that Scott and Larissa gave her. They don't quite fit and I am not sure they would have worked for her blessing day, but she'll be wearing them soon enough:)
What a happy baby! Malia is the sweetest angel I could have ever hoped for! So NOT like me as a baby! She is happy, eats and sleeps well, is not colicky or fussy and is so smart and content already. It's like she understands what is going on around her. I know all parents say that but really. She is super duper smart, mark my words!
And she has two parents that love her more than anything in the entire universe! I can't get enough of my little doll!
Our eternal family:)
Here are some of the visitors that came down for Malia's big debut:

This is a sweet picture that Kathy took of Malia's dress and a picture of my family including my Grandma Ogata who made the dress many many years ago. I love my family! What a great day!
