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.

Twelve

My baby turned twelve today!

Last night we had some (delicious) cake and celebrated with friends. This morning, we let Micah open gifts (a game from Noah and a box of twelve different candies from Asher...he was pretty happy about the candy, in particular, lol...Nathan and I also got him a tee shirt (the one he's wearing in the pictures below) and some new kamas for karate...he's still thinking about what he wants to do to celebrate "bigger"). Then we took some pictures.

At lunchtime, we headed to The Waffle Lab (where he was delighted to wolf down his own plate of food and parts of Noah's and Asher's) and Peace, Love, Donuts (where we each picked one to try...YUM!). And now we're home and boys are learning the new game. :)

Here are the height comparison pictures that are becoming annual...

Not a huge change as of yet, but the boy has high hopes for the coming year... ;) 

And then there were pictures of just Micah...

And a few others...

I just love, too, that Micah asked to look through his baby scrapbooks earlier this week. (He's pretty taken with how adorable he was, lol.)

Yup. I've got good (and good looking) boys. :) Happy birthday, my Micah!

(And, yes, this all means that a year from now I'll have three teenage boys. Oy.)
