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.

Seven years ago today...

This boy changed my world.

I can't believe my sweet boy is seven already! Nathan pointed out the other day that this means Noah's more than half way to teenager status already. Oy. I'm still trying to break the habit of referring to Micah (who turned two this past summer) as a baby. I'm not ready to have a full-fledged seven year old on my hands. :)  

(Oh. In case you're wondering, the bruise on his chin is from bonking heads with Asher, who has a very hard head. I'm still trying to figure out why it's so very specific and small in shape, but it doesn't seem to bother him at all.) 

No big plans for today. We'll probably take him to dinner tonight and let him open his presents from us. Tomorrow he's having his party with friends...just a small party, but hopefully good. 

Wow.

Happy Birthday. They do tend to change our lives forever. May the good times long outweigh the harder times.
