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 grown) 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.

Peter Pan

Yesterday, we took Asher and Micah to see "Peter Pan" at the Candlelight Dinner Playhouse. They claim to have enjoyed it even more than last year's "The Sound of Music." So, I guess it was a hit. ;)

Here's me and my boys as we were heading out:

(Micah and I decided to take advantage of the opportunity to dress up a bit, lol.)

And here's Micah just before show time...enjoying his Pirate Punch:

The way it works is that the actors actually are also the wait staff, so Tiger Lily and one of the pirates took our orders and brought our lunch when we first arrived. Then, all the actors head off to perform. At intermission, they come back out to serve up dessert and such. It's pretty cool to get to talk with the actual performers.

The show, btw, was fabulous. The boys particularly enjoyed the flying performers and boo-ing Captain Hook and the crocodile. Our table was right up front again, so the boys could watch the orchestra and see all the action. 

And here are Nathan and the boys right in front of our table after the show was over:

And that was "Peter Pan"...a lovely way to unofficially celebrate both boys' birthdays and encourage their enjoyment of theater.

(Lest you feel sorry for Noah...as with last year, Noah was quite happy to not join us and spent a lovely afternoon with his best friend's family. Thanks again, Deanna!)
