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.

It was time, but I don't have to like it.

Yesterday Micah got a big boy haircut...just like his brothers. They all needed haircuts (their hair grows like crazy) and we decided that it was finally time to let go of my sweet Micah's "baby" haircut and let him join the ranks of the big boys...he was just so hot and sweaty with all that hair that stood up everywhere and worked well as a napkin still. So. I knew that this day would come, just like the very first time he got a haircut. No going back. I'm still getting used to it, and I know he's still adorable. But he just looks so much older now! Here are pictures from Tuesday and Wednesday...what a difference a day makes:

At least he seems happy about it all. :)

In other news, still pretty busy here with tying up things and making revisions and general life. Oy. I'll try to post more this weekend, okay?

Oh, and if you were one of my RAK winners below and haven't contacted me yet, could you please do that today-ish? I'd like to get this stuff out of my office, so if I don't hear from you I may just split up the five piles into however many I hear from (two so far) and ship it. (And if you've already contacted me, huge apologies for not having this in the mail already, but this may work to your advantage, LOL!) :)

Okay, happy Thursday to all!

I blogged about this about a week ago...it really is heartbreaking to have all that baby hair gone. It's like...poof, the buzz of the razor and babyhood falls away!

Oy! He doesn't even look like Micah anymore! At least I'm forewarned! How much will grow out in the next 3 weeks?
