Our little family of 6 has now grown to 7! Over the last few years, as we have all gotten to know Paige, we realize how fortunate Justin is. Together, they make a wonderful couple and neither Jeannie nor I can imagine anyone nicer than Paige to join our tightly knit family. Even though thousands of miles may separate us, our love for both Paige and Justin will always keep them both close to our hearts. We see the love in their eyes when they glance at each other and know they will always be happy throughout their lives together. Congratulations, Paige and Justin. With all of our love - Mom and Dad Hein

Happy Birthday - John Taylor

And decided to celebrate someones birthday a bit early

We got together with the newlyweds

On our final night in California we went out to dinner

The Russian River at its mouth

Playing frisbee on the beach

Next stop, the pacific

Time to head back

Oldest tree in the forest

Finally, The Colonel Armstrong Redwood

Beautiful views

John, Your new home?

John thinks that we are all going the wrong way

Johnnie and Jeannie take a break

And hiding inside old trees

We saw some elves behind trees

We walked......

We headed out in search of the elusive Armstrong Tree

This wasn't it

Headed out to find the Colonel Armstrong tree

Looked around

We saw a tree hugger

The redwoods were amazing

We stopped at Armstrong Redwood Forest

Lot's of neat stuff to check out

We checked out the small shops in town

The three Hein girls

The 4 Hein Kids

We stopped at the Underwood Bistro for lunch

On Tuesday, Paige and Justin took us for a trip to the Pacific.

Mom enjoys the sunny morning

Relaxing in the shade

Charlie comes down the steps

Looking back from the garden, green beans on a trellis

Mom and James on the front porch

James goes exploring

Looking ripe for picking

Grape vines everywhere around the house

The morning after, Jeannie relaxes with charlie the cat back at the house

Justin gets the garter. I wonder who caught it?
