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.

Grandparents' visit

DateTuesday, January 15, 2013 at 12:15PM

Continuing with my catching up...

Nathan's folks flew out for their annual Christmas to New Year's visit. Given the temperatures and our dislike of way crowded places (particularly during cold and flu season, lol), we mostly stuck to home and just played games and hung out. Beyond that, we also were at the archery range a couple times...(click on any of the photos to make them larger)


...and we took some group photos in our neighborhood park...

...and the boys goofed around in the snow...

...and, ultimately, we even resorted to letting boys play on a big pile of snow in a parking lot to work out the cabin fever...

(Yeah, we weren't sure that would work, but the boys were pretty happy about it and were even sad to leave...which we did, just before the public safety patrol guy came around to tell us to get off, lol.)

And that was pretty much that. ;)
