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.

Fourteen

Happy birthday to my oldest...my stubbornly refusing to smile boy...my Noah.

I think this look pretty much sums up how he feels about me taking his picture, lol. Course, then there was also this one:

...of Nathan trying to recreate his favorite photo from last year. ;) Last year, I took one of all three boys also...

And here's the one from this year:

Yes, Noah continues to grow. (Micah's catching up on Asher, too, as you can see, lol.) As further evidence, here's Noah and Nathan:

 And me and Noah:

Keep in mind, too, that at age 11 Noah was only up to about my ear. For those who appreciate actual numbers, on his 11th birthday, Noah was 55.5" and 72 lbs. Today he's 68" and approximately 128 lbs. That's a lot of growing in the past three years, lol. For what it's worth, though, I think he might be slowing down. :) 

I've spent much of the day trying to think of fourteen things to write about him. But I can't think of many things that haven't already been said. ;) He's pretty constant. He did start school this year (and is doing really well), but other than that, he remains himself. I think we'll keep him. ;)
