THE NITTY GRITTY
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.

Tradition

DateMonday, May 15, 2017 at 10:21AM

A couple of years ago I started a tradition of taking a Mother's Day picture with my boys. This year, they were dressed nicely on Thursday (for Deanna's cording ceremony) so we took pictures a few days early. :)

This one was just outside of the building after the ceremony...

After that, we stopped at a sculpture garden in Loveland to take a few more before heading to dinner...

Noah and Asher thought it was great fun to jump and shake the log while Micah and I were trying to rearrange ourselves. (See how they're both airborne above?) And then we managed some shots...

...and boys continued their jumping...

...and I got one with Nathan...

...even though we had two imps photo bombing us in the back. ;) (Can you see Asher peeking through the branches just behind Nathan's head?)

And those were my Mother's Day pictures for this year. :)
