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.

Tuesday, September 16, 2003       ( 8:58 PM ) Troy   After a summer of hard work, we have pretty much completed the playground project for Colleen. It makes me laugh looking back at our optimism in May that the "little project" would only take us a "couple of weeks." HA! We had no idea of the magnitude of what we had proposed until we were fully committed. It took us a full Summer and Fall of back-breaking weekends and it's still not quite done. We trenched, buried and spiked almost 30 full-size railroad ties into a 4.5 foot wall spanning 50+ feet. Sheesh. Why did we think that would be easy? Regardless, it's going to be a safe and awesome play area for Colleen once we complete it, and that makes it worth all the callouses and bruises. #
