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

A Repost of Memorium for Opa


 Thought I'd repost this link as some of you had asked..

Remembering Willem/Dad/Opa Colyn

Kiara, Emma, and Aalysia helping Opa harvest the potatoes.

What a garden ... and family ... Opa produced!

(circa 1999)


We miss you.
