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.

Sixteen and a day

Didn't manage to get pictures posted yesterday. But. Yesterday my Noah turned SIXTEEN! So very proud of this boy and the young man he's becoming...doing well in his classes (now all at the community college), starting to look into the whole college application process and all that entails now that he's a junior, and working on building his own computer because he truly needs more to occupy his time. He's still doing archery and going to HeroClix events weekly(ish). And, he's on course to get his driver's license, though we're going to wait until after Christmas for that. :)

So, pictures. Here are our annual height comparison pictures...

 

I'm still short. ;) 

They're both still taller than me. :) 

...and the younger two are starting to catch up. 

I just liked this picture...

And I actually got a genuine smile out of him!

 
He didn't want to do anything to really celebrate his big day...just a nice dinner out at a steakhouse and some chocolate zucchini bread and ice cream back at home. Quiet, like him. :) 

Happy birthday, Noah! Love you!
