Miranda is an amazing person. She has a quiet confidence about her that I am still working on attaining for myself - I can't imagine having had it at 16. She is organized and hardworking, an accomplished athlete (who holds two school records), and does the right thing even when it's not the most popular thing.
Everyone loves Miranda - no one more so than Sam. Can you blame him? Miranda is energy and fun and she will play cars with him as long as he wants. I marvel at how good she is with the kids. Again, her quiet confidence leads her to almost always doing or saying the right thing. We asked her to babysit last Sunday but she was working. In desperation I booked her for last night, the only night she didn't have to work. We didn't even have plans but she is so wonderful we're willing to work around her schedule.
Sam bounced off the walls in excitement until Miranda arrived (at 6:00:15) and didn't even say goodbye to us when we left. Miranda let him stay up an hour past his bedtime so they could play. Words can't express how happy I am that Sam has that memory.
Two of my favorite faces!

I remember you talking about Miranda and James a lot in college. And it sounds like Miranda has so many qualities that will work in her favor in life. I would be proud of her too!
