Welcome Hancock Herd

Well I heard from my relatives that it has been  a long long time since I have updated my blog.  Sweet Lauren told me "Julie, I check your blog every Sunday, and its been the same FOR MONTHS!"  True, true.  I think everyone is starting to wonder if we just left Kelsey in Europe.  Good news, we got her home and have been plenty busy since (hence the absence in the blog world).  So I shall try to catch up -no, sum up what has been going on in the Hancock home since July. 

In October we were happy to host Kevin's brother Scott and his family for a few days.  We loved having them around and have missed them since they moved back to Idaho.  The kids especially loved having cousins right their age too.  


Jayden and Ryan were inseparable the whole 5 days.  They were identical most days.  They had each lost the same teeth and Jayden even asked to get his hair buzzed so he could be Ryan's twin.  Jayden loved having a "brother-cousin" around.  He was so sad when they left.
Carissa, Aubrey and Lindsey were the gleesome-threesome.  We hardly heard from them except an occasional giggle as they passed through the kitchen for more food.
 Speaking of food, what would a family gathering be without Kevin's Company Cuisine??  Scott said he traveled 1000 miles just to have one of Kevin's famous Hawaiian Burgers, so we couldn't disappoint them.  As always they were a hit.  We also made Kevin's Better-Than-Krispy-Kreme donuts.  That was almost enough to convince them to stay a few more days.



 Almost.  With the food gone and school calling, they packed up and headed home.  We enjoyed the time immensely and hope for another reunion soon!
