Henry Hand-me-downs - so to speak

 Ann Henry is a saver! She's also the Henry/Rosenlof family historian.  It's so interesting to see the things she has kept and how the family history flows from the stories the items bestow.  Over the years, she has saved a few outfits of Josh's that she wanted to have the kids wear.   But this outfit predates even Josh. 

Ann's dad owned a Texaco station in Nampa, Idaho.  These overalls were made by Ann's mom and worn by Ann when she was around 2 years old.  Nathan (18 months) was almost too big to fit in them, but we managed to squeeze him in for a few historic photos.

Here is Kate wearing the same pair at 14 months.
