Miranda and Caleb as Models

When Caleb and Miranda were small they were asked by Nancy Orton to model clothing for Rebecca rags; the children’s clothing company run by Nancy and her mother.  These area couple of the pictures that turned out.  We have these in large size.  Sheri says there are more smaller size pictures.  (20 years ago?)

I don't want Anything

Miranda, "I don't want anything."

Miranda and Caleb

This is a conversation I had with Miranda eight years ago.  She would have been nine at the time.  I am putting it here because it is indicative of her personality, and we have had similar conversations many times over the years, although with different offers or subjects.

"Do you want a hug?"
"No."
"Do you want a big bear hug?"
"No."
"Do you want a big bear hug where I squeeze you so tight you can't even breathe, like only a Daddy can give?"
Annoyed, "No I don't want a hug Daddy."
"What do you want then?"
"Nothing."
"Do you want a kiss?"
"No."
"Or a tickle?"
"I don't want anything," she leaves the room.

Today the conversation is a bit different.  When she sits in the front of the car while I'm driving I'll say, "Can I practice my headlocks."  She always says no.   It's my way of telling her I love her..
