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.

Grandparent visit

DateThursday, May 19, 2022 at 08:03PM

Okay, almost caught up...

Thankful this Thursday that Nathan's parents were able to spend time with us this past weekend! They joined us for Noah's Honors Recognition ceremony and graduation...we played plenty of pinochle...we ate good food. :) On Sunday, we took advantage of the beautiful weather to play some croquet...

...and to watch Nathan and the boys play some volleyball. 

We hosed them off and cleaned them up and even remembered to take a few pictures... 

And a good time was had by all!

After that, John & Nancy spent a couple days in Estes Park while we attended to things like dentist appointments and oral surgeon consults and work. They returned to spend Wednesday night with us before getting back on the road this morning, heading for home. Hoping they have safe travels and so very appreciative of our time together!
