Miranda sneezed this morning and said, "Oh no Mom, I think I've got the swine flu."
It amazes me how much she picks up and understands.

so cute!!! the swine flu...:)
how old is she?
What a cutie your smart little honey must be. At our house we're calling it the WHINE flu and it's spreading FAST!
We missed your cheering voice at the 1/2 marathon in Cardston last weekend but I found my own slurpee after the race so no harm ;) Actually, I had a terrible(!!!) race so I was glad there were few spectators!
