HELLO

Hi. I'm Amanda...a happy wife and mom to three awesome guys. We've lived here in Fort Collins for more than 20 years and are proud to call it home. Before moving to CO, I worked at a city attorney's office, making use of my law and Master's degrees from Duke. After settling in Fort Collins, I homeschooled my three (now teenage and older) sons and was delighted to experience music classes, soccer, karate, swim team, archery, Science Olympiad, First Lego League, parkour, and climbing (not all at the same time!). From 2005-10, I was also a contributing editor for a national scrapbooking magazine, authoring a book and a couple of monthly columns. From 2009-10, I founded and ran the Good Grief Blog. I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my family, volunteering with The Matthews House, traveling and indoor rock climbing.

Encore

So, after Micah's last foray into ice skating, he decided we should all go. :) Last night, then, we headed out to the Centerra Ice Rink again...which was much busier than the last time Micah and I were there (practically alone), as it turned out to be a free night, unbeknownst to us. Still. It was pretty fun. 

Yes, Nathan was deliberately pulling on Noah. :) (Noah, btw, would like to point out that taller people apparently have a more difficult time with ice skating due to their higher center of gravity, lol.)

This was actually Asher's very first time ice skating (he missed out when his brothers were initially introduced to it due to his broken arm) and it went okay. We managed to snag one of the assister things (like a big plastic walker on the ice) about half way through our time and that made a big difference to his happiness. :) By the end, he was back to trying on his own...not nearly as steady as Micah but keeping up somewhat with Noah. (Micah was skating about two or three laps to his brothers' one...which helps explain why he's still excited about going back, lol.) 

Regardless of speed, though, a good time was had by all. :)
