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.

Gooooaaaaaallllll!

Just a quick funny. Soccer season is over, right? Well, someone didn't tell Micah. He's so loved watching his big brothers play and has already picked up a few skills (dare I say he's got a better attitude toward dribbling than Noah did at the start of the season?). The kid is definitely going to be ready to join a team sooner than we'd like.

In any case, yesterday I found Noah literally rolling on the floor laughing at Micah. When I looked to see what was so hilarious, this is what I saw:

Micah had found a teeny, tiny soccer ball from one of the boys' lego soccer sets (yes, they make such things) and was dribbling it around the family room (pretty well, too!). He was so proud of himself, seeing as how his brothers haven't been overly willing to share their soccer balls. Micah was so intent and when he got to the couch, he'd raise his arms up in the air and shout "gooooaaaaallll!" What do you think? Does that count as a "ball"? The rule right now is that they're not allowed to kick balls in that room, but methinks Micah may have found a way around that. :)
