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.

PS Gob Gob

I just had to add a little note to my earlier post. We've been working with Micah trying to get him to say his own name. He's got everyone else's down amazingly well...loves calling for his "No-nah", says "Asher" surprisingly clearly (better than Noah or Asher did for sure) and often times shortens it to "Ash", has mommy and daddy down pat...but can't seem to get his own name. We know he can make all the required sounds for it but every time you ask him what his own name is (or try to trick him into saying it while going through a list of people or whatever) he answers "Gob Gob." I don't know why. Can't you just see me calling to him while out at the park or in a store..."Gob Gob Sir A Lot, you come back here!" Bwaahaaaha! ;)

Amanda that is hysterical! Mira is stuck on baby all of a sudden, and we have been doing the tricking as well! She too can say her sisters names well, and sometimes refers to as Daddy Rich instead, what a hoot. But when it comes to naming herself - she says Baby. "Where's Mira" gets an instant cheesy grin or a "ME!" . Her sisters have a toy she wants - "Baby's doll/book/car!"

*Now* I understand how Baby in Dirty Dancing was still called Baby as a teen.
