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

Congraduations Simone!

It is amazing to see our kids transforming into young adults. Simone has had a great graduating year. She will be working this summer to prepare for a "big adventure" next spring. Thank you for all the cards and support.












Arm in arm; it felt like a wedding, without the groom.

F I V E years already??

William loves to count so about 78 days ago he started the countdown until his 5th birthday. He decided to stop counting when we hit the month of June because he wanted to be surprised when it finally came. I hope the balloons that I tie to his feet might be his first clue in the morning :)

hope you have a great day William we love you so much !!


Congrats Aalysia

I tried to post a comment but it wouldn't let me, so I am just commenting here.

Congratulations, Aalysia. I enjoyed watching you walk across the stage almost as much as I enjoyed you when you were this small. What a cute picture. The smile was the same, just a few more teeth. Good job, girl. Enjoy your career. Love you.

Happy Birthday Opa!

Nathan asked what Birthdays are like in Heaven....I told him Opa is probably smiling just like this. We love and miss you Dad.
