Rain turns 1

Washington Island 2010

We just returned from a great vacation on Washington Island where we were able to spend some time with Grandpa Terry. We spent most of our time relaxing on School House Beach followed by poppers and Island Wheat at Nelsons. We enjoyed perch frys, lawyers, fish boils, island pizza, pancakes at Sunset, trivia night at Fiddler's Green and burgers at Karlys. It was so great to return to the island where Adam spent most of his summers growing up. We went to Rock Island and hiked to the lighthouse. We didn't stay long as we were being bit by the resident flies! We enjoyed some amazing sunsets and thunderstorms. The kids did fairly well on the flights to and from the island. We are happy to be home, sleeping on our comfy beds and looking forward to our next trip to the island.

We moved

Hi All,

We moved to Calistoga and are enjoying the new house. River and Rain both got hair cuts!!! I traded the CRV for a minivan. That makes me an "official" mom :)

We are picking up the pieces from the Stockton Street House Fire on New Years Eve day. We received a lot of donations thanks to the family, friends, the community and coworkers. Our good friend Tara coordinated these donations and we are very thankful for her help. Some companies have donated too. We received donations from the following companies: Svan high chair, wheelie bugs, plan toys, various speech/language publishers, red flyer, patagonia, Alex toys, Arms reach cosleeper and Animalz! We feel very lucky that we have our health.

We are eagerly moving forward and setting up our new home in Calistoga. We went to a GREAT antique flea market in Alameda. We will definitely return. We picked up an old chalk board and some vintage outdoor chairs.

Enjoy the photos...the kids are growing so fast!

Love
Henkels
