A loud voice

May 29, 2011

Aunt Jan: Miranda! For such a small person, you have a loud voice.

Miranda: (without even looking up) It's better than being quiet.

Christmas at Aunt Bev's

Miranda is so fashionable! Black fingernail polish, a scarf around her neck at all times. She likes to sit next to Grandma and has always had a special relationship with her.

Miranda Baptized

Out of the blue, she says to me, "Mom, I want to get baptized. Mikaela and I have been talking about it since August. And it has NOTHING to do with the car accident." She had been rear ended and hit her head on the seat in front (she was traveling with another family. Three days later, on the way home from swim team in the dark, Dad hits a deer. Miranda's seatbelt wasn't fastened and she flew from the very back seat and hit the dashboard. She told her dad, "I could have died tonight." So, certainly these were wake-up calls, but she had been considering her decision for a while. Mom and Dad couldn't be happier. Spent the afternoon at Olive Garden to celebrate. Brianna, another mutual friend, joined the girls.

Important phone call!!

Miranda: Mom, why didn't you call me back after I called you at work?Patti: Honey, I was busy,.

Miranda: But Mom, it was IMPORTANT!

Patti: Miranda, I was sending a patient to ICU. THAT was important.

Miranda: But Mom, I wanted to talk to you about going to the mall.
