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.

Braces OFF

Thursday, March 1, 2018 at 11:31AM

Bright and early this morning, Micah got his braces off! He's pretty excited about the whole thing. ;) We'd thought they wouldn't be coming off until August, but apparently he was good to go after a little over 15 months, similar to Asher.

Here's the before picture, taken back in November 2016 (after the kid negotiated with the orthodontist to wait until after Halloween to put the braces on):

And here's this morning:

(Yes, he's wearing the same shirt. He wears it every time he goes to the orthodontist...something about free cookies when he's wearing it, lol.)

So. That's that. He now has his retainers and was delighted with his "Happy Braces Off Day" goodies from the orthodontist...candy bars, sparkling cider, cookies and a few other things...all after they also sang to him. Still so very pleased with Dr. Ebert's office. We'll still have some follow ups to make sure the retainers are doing their job, but mostly all done...with all three boys now.

Whew. :)
