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.

Leaf pictures

I try to take pictures of my boys in leaves every fall. It's tradition. :) Here's what I came away with this past Wednesday, as we walked a bit in our neighborhood after schoolwork was finished for the day...

(My instructions to throw the leaves skyward went unheeded, lol.)

And then there were some jumping photos...

(Asher, fyi, often steals our phones and takes selfies of himself which we later find. It shouldn't have been a surprise, then, that this is what we got when we handed him the phone and asked him to take our picture, lol.)

There was also a lot of attacking each other with leaves...

But Asher was not to be outdone with his backflips through the leaves...

Yup, fun times. :) 

And then we brushed ourselves off and headed home again, stopping along the way to catch a group photo:

Happy fall, y'all!
