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.

Micah funnies...

Because the kid just continues to crack me up...

1. A couple days ago, he was watching an episode of Mythbusters (all of the boys love that show!). The episode was about superhero myths. Adam (one of the main characters) swishes his cape and declares something like, "And now I'm off to fight crime!" Micah, totally serious, turns to me and says, "Who's Crime? I didn't see him on the show."

2. Yesterday at bedtime, Micah was rather upset (to the point of tears). The reason? The periodic table of the elements book that the boys have been having Nathan read to them for bedtime (yes, they requested it...after they finished the Rocks & Minerals book by the same author) didn't cover all the elements. Micah is convinced that they were deliberately leaving out the interesting ones (they must be interesting, Micah reasons, because he doesn't know about them). He was seriously mad. Gotta love that kid.

3. Micah's new plan of attack for soccer appears to be distraction. During his indoor soccer sessions the past couple of weeks, he's taken to alternating between "zapping" the other team using lightning from his hands (like the emperor in "Return of the Jedi") and slicing them down with pretend light sabers. Sound effects are, of course, in evidence as he's been chasing the other team around the field while the rest of his team goes after the ball. I tried to take a picture tonight, but his scrimmage was on the far side. Seemed like the only logical thing to do. ;)
