Welcome to Colleen's web site, version 5.0!

Colleen is an awesome kid who loves to read, do homework (and she isn't even in school yet) and play outside. She is an artist, philosopher and great mathematician. She is a very good photographer, too, who was recently introduced to a digital camera. The photo at the top of the page is a self-portrait.

Her favorite color is pink. She loves to wear dresses, play dress-up and play with dolls. She is all girl. However, she is also tough. She likes to get dirty, jump on the trampouline, rough house, pick up bugs and play soccer. Noone has ever told her not to do these things, so she loves them as well. Her girl idols are her cousins Ashley and Katelyn, who are gorgeous sports jocks. She adores all of her cousins — because she thinks the girls are beautiful and the boys are WILD! But she particularly talks about these two a lot, probably because they embody both of her favorite characteristics!

Currently, the blog below is updated by her parents. However, you should expect entries from her in the very near future.

We hope you also will take time to look at her photo album, which contains pictures that we update on rare occasions. New visitors might be interested in reading about Colleen's birth or her heart surgery, or seeing photos she took of her house.

Thursday, February 06, 2003       ( 6:36 PM ) Rosie   Colleen loves to watch the squirrels and cardinals that come to eat the food we put outside. Today, we counted five cardinals eating at the same time! # Tuesday, February 04, 2003       ( 8:51 AM ) Rosie   Our kid is changing like you wouldn't believe. She talks in complete sentences, although sometimes only Mommy and Daddy can understand. She said recently, "I like broccoli a lot, Daddy." Now, when does it get better than that? We have spurts of the "terrible twos," but for the most part she is a dream child. She loves to read, color and play with animals. She LOVES Elmo. I mean, LOVES, LOVES, LOVES. She got three stuffed Elmos for Christmas and one is always close by. She plays a Sesame Street web site game featuring Elmo, Zoe (she says "Oh-ee") and Big Bird. She comes into the office, points at the computer and says, "Elmo!" when she wants to play! #
