ColleenWelcome 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.

Today, Colleen Maynard turned five years old!

She had a terrific party at our friends, Mark & Tanya's house.

She had a pinata at the party, something that had been requested many moons ago. Naturally, the birthday girl got the first hit at the trophy. She swung, hit it and, seeing that it didn't explode with candy and other treats, immediately burst into tears!

It was obvious to Mom and Dad that she had her heart set on a fireworks display of legendary proportions with that darn pinata! We had no idea until the waterworks began or we would have prepared her for this disappointment. Naturally, it took about an hour of pummeling to get the thing open. (And some of those girls could SWING.)

Otherwise, the party was a great success. It wasn't too exhausting for Mom and Dad. Colleen adored the birthday cake (a tower of Barbie goodness created by dear old Mom). The presents, of course, were awesome. Fun was had by all.
