Amanda Probst - Journal - March in Colorado...

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.

March in Colorado...

So, yesterday was beautiful and we took advantage of it...headed out to fly our new "jet fighter" kite:

For what it's worth, we saw lots of cool kite designs where we found this one, but Noah declared that this one was "more us" even though the other designs may have been better. Couldn't say no to that. :) Fortunately, this one also turned out to be a pretty darn good flyer.

Course, today it's supposed to snow. Yeah, really.
