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.

This morning

A glimpse into life here this morning...

- Discovered a perk to having Noah home and screens required to be off...he voluntarily helped both brothers finish their math this morning. :) Yay!

- Took Micah for his routine check up with the orthodontist. It turns out that the precocious boy continues to do things earlier than his brothers and has lost enough baby teeth (and sooner than anticipated) that the orthodontist says he'll be ready for braces this fall instead of a year from now (as we'd previously been told to plan on). The boy is less than pleased, lol. 

(Funny note: They started out asking if we'd like to schedule his appointment...said we're looking at October. Micah immediately quipped that the Joker doesn't have braces. (He's planning to go as the Joker for Comic Con and Halloween.) So. As a concession to Micah, we scheduled for November instead...so he can enjoy one more braces-free Halloween first.)

- Came home to this:

You might think this was odd. But. It's really not anything out of the ordinary, lol. Course, Asher does have an actual Batman costume and mask but chose this so he could still wear his glasses...which is a rather interesting effect. ;) (And, yes, those knives are made out of legos so don't actually get used on anything/one.)

And that's a bit of my life this morning...
