Skate-o-randa!

Family skating session:  Miranda's choice of Sunday fun
--Rory initially dubious but willing to try anything

...with Mom, Dad, and Sisty!!!

@ the Karen Magnussen arena in North Vancouver

We heard Miranda singing in her room--turns out she was writing a song!  Steve got her to pose with her lyrics and her shades... Can fame and fortune be far behind?  It's great to see her hamming it up, because Little Miss Screamer (aka Aurora) usually steals the spotlight!  Miranda also recently did a presentation in front of her class (something dog-related; we're all missing Tycho these days--with the possible exception of Aurora, who never met him)...Anyway, we're very proud of our big girl, especially since both Steve and I recall being shy about stuff like that when we were kids.  Miranda has started a once-a-week drama class and claims to be really enjoying it so far.  Bravo, Miss M!
