 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.

We go too long between updates on this blog, that's a certainty.
Colleen is a pistol. I can't tell you many of the funny things she says. Most aren't fit for print. This morning, she witnessed Troy give me a kiss and a butt grab. She exclaimed, "Daddy, you made Mommy's bottom jiggle!" Then, she wanted a kiss that made her bottom jiggle.
And that's the mildest example I can offer.
World domination, coming soon to a child near you
About six months ago, we were sitting at the dining room table. Colleen was refusing to eat something, like brussel sprouts. Troy said, "Girls who don't eat their vegetables don't get dessert." And she replied, in her best, booming dictator voice, with a fist shaking in his face, "I WILL HAVE EVERTHING!!"
Ballet & t-ball
T-ball last summer was a disaster. Colleen didn't even acknowledge that there was anything happening on the field. She wasn't even interested in the other kids! I think she felt that if she expressed an interest in the other rug rats that we might see that as a sign of her acquiescence to the t-ball scene. We missed two games - the last one because she flatly refused to go! And we spent the other four begging her to at least stand on the field or take her turn at bat. It was a disaster.
Ballet, which started this month, is amazingly different. She loves it. She flipped for the idea when I suggested it. She was a ballerina for Halloween, so it's a pretty timely activity. She flits around the studio looking like a monkey with butterfly wings. Fortunately, it's a class of 3- and 4-year-olds and the teacher is only about 8-years-old, so she has lots of patient for Colleen's erratic behavior.
