What's going on?

Hi Everyone! I thought we'd finally update the Colyn family blog as it has not been changed since 2006. Times are a changing.
We will try some new things to keep everyone interested and to maintain some sense of order around here. There is some social media integration for posts to be shared through Facebook, Twitter, etc. A Search function, so make sure you add labels to your posts for future reference.
Please be patient the next little while if things move around a bit, and be sure to let me know if you like or dislike whats going on.
Oh, and keep up the good posts, everyone! If you need any help logging in or posting, just contact me anytime... ~John

the great trampolini


Things got a little out of hand on the old trampoline yesterday
when Treena tried to double bounce Sam across the back ditch.
Sam didn't care much that it was a hairline fracture. He was just
thrilled to pick out the color of his cast.

Find Sam and Ezra


We spent a few nights in the big city for spring break. It was great except
for all the pouring rain! Can you find the boys in the hotel room?

Hope you are all doing well. We would have loved to have made it
to Al and Trudy's HQCA (half-quarter century anniversary). Maybe next year!

Jake and Emma it was nice to see you guys the other day. Leave a little earlier next time and stop for breakfast. Willem let me know when you are coming and I'll show you all the Duncan sights. And yes, there are a few.

Ciao.

A bridge to Terabithia

MUST SEE!

You have to go see this movie that Aliza recommended to us.

So sweet....I can't stop thinking about it!

It is a Disney movie but I think anyone could watch it although I would not recommended it for wee kidlets.

Hello Everyone

It has been a long time since I've posted, I hope everyone knows that your posts are appreciated and viewed all the time, so keep them coming!

Here is a selection of pictures from last month around our place, Tom and Anna upto their usually antics, the picture of me is one that Dad took when he and Mom were here with Aliza, and the hole in Tom's mouth is from his teeth going clean through his tongue, it has healed nicely and he is yapping constantly once again.

Love you all, Henk

A Tribute to Brad Delp..


Most of you won't know who this guy was, but his band influenced
me musically more than classical music ever did. He had an amazing voice.
This young fellow is playing one of their songs.. quite well, actually.

Boyd and Eye.

Yes, I too did see the man!!!
He figured I would have this picture assembled, painted, finished and upholstered and on the blog tonight because the customer wanted to see it before he drove it off to SEMA.
Go figure, I'm going to work for Foose.

All the leaves are green!

I thought that I would add a little more life to these pics.
Last week when I was in Duncan

I stopped into a church....I passed along the way
Oh, I got down on my knees and I pretend to take....(echo)
the pictures Corrie takes ...(echo)
she knows we're gonna try...(echo)
Co....urt....ney dreaming on such a winters day.
