We planned to post a video of Azalea singing to you, but our Flip is somewhere in storage. Instead, we'll post some pictures that Grandpa took of you and Azalea the last time we got to hang out back in April. If you ask us, that was way too long ago. :)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nateandmiranda/4697900963/" title="4593411978_e9d05802d8_o by N8tr0n, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4042/4697900963_18cdf5cfaa_b.jpg" width="709" height="532" alt="4593411978_e9d05802d8_o" /></a></span></u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nateandmiranda/4697901025/" title="4593411352_2e0ecd8f13_o by N8tr0n, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4052/4697901025_42368899c6_b.jpg" width="709" height="532" alt="4593411352_2e0ecd8f13_o" /></a></span></u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nateandmiranda/4697901175/" title="4592794293_a4671236ff_o by N8tr0n, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4040/4697901175_d2dd04a85b_b.jpg" width="532" height="583" alt="4592794293_a4671236ff_o" /></a></span></u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nateandmiranda/4698535302/" title="4592792731_a49b9c1156_o by N8tr0n, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4065/4698535302_6b48611d46_b.jpg" width="709" height="532" alt="4592792731_a49b9c1156_o" /></a></span></u></div><br /><div><br /><br />Happy Birthday little dude!

Nate accepted a job in Eastern Idaho and just started his second week of work. We're currently staying with my parents while we look for a place to rent. As you can imagine, Azalea is perfectly content to stay here forever and be spoiled by her grandparents. Nate and I, on the other hand, are feeling a little less settled with our stuff in a storage unit and Nate commuting to work each day. </div><div><br /></div><div>So, between calls to rental houses and hanging out with family, I will try to update this blog a little. Obviously we've been busy but, not posting since March? There's really no decent excuse for that. I can't promise that posts won't be heavy on pictures and light on words...but I'm guessing you won't mind that too much.</div><div><br /></div>Mirandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04888264290380513746noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099888459051020722.post-26725804201896821792010-03-25T22:58:00.002-06:002010-03-25T23:05:45.319-06:00What to do when you're a sickyNothing like a little freestyle drumming to alleviate sick-day boredom!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nateandmiranda/4464251060/" title="DSC_9479 by N8tr0n, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4056/4464251060_96bc11de4b_o.jpg" width="800" height="532" alt="DSC_9479" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">That happy face may not look sick to you, but don't be fooled.

Church was cancelled and we had a great day bumming around in our pajamas. When Nate went out to shovel the driveway, I decided that it would be a great time to dress Azalea up in the new snow suit that Grandma Nina gave her. I was, however, mistaken.<div><br /></div><div>I think the misunderstanding happened when the word "suit" left my lips. I'm pretty sure that anytime Azalea hears the word "suit" she automatically thinks, "swimsuit" and that she obviously must be going swimming. When I began stuffing her into something that was decidedly NOT a swimsuit there began to be much weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nateandmiranda/4108504512/" title="DSC_7417 by N8tr0n, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2775/4108504512_d4b7c810bc.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="DSC_7417" /></a> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>I persevered.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nateandmiranda/4107736121/" title="DSC_7397 by N8tr0n, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2663/4107736121_e00bfa1afd.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="DSC_7397" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nateandmiranda/4107738737/" title="DSC_7415 by N8tr0n, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2537/4107738737_57583bfdb8.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="DSC_7415" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">We'll probably need to get her some gloves.
