What Noah brought home on the first day of school...

as if i had not cried enough already.

thank you Lord for my sweet son...

Noah's First Day of First Grade!

Ready for action!

(by the time I got out of bed at 7:05 - Noah had gotten himself dressed and made himself/finished his breakfast)

the backpack - with lunch box combo

amazingly for the hancocks - we were early.

This is us sitting outside the school waiting to be let in.

Thank you EJ for coming over to hang at the house while the girls slept in!

at his desk...

When I got home and the girls woke up - Hallie said look what I can do!

I think it is a wink?

Hancock Family Vacation & Hurricane Bill

So we've been gone. Hancock family vacation at Wrightsville Beach. So fun. The Goldsboro Hancocks (us), the Raleigh Hancocks (Bryan's parents), the Pennsylvania Hendersons (Bryan's sister, husband & 2 kids), AND the Virginia Ruckers (Bryan's grandparents). 13 of us. Here is a preview. So many great photos and stories to come... Oh yeah and thank you Hurricane Bill for bringing my husband the best surf he's had at WB in many years!

Hallie Grace being Hallie

Noah and Bryan in the rockin' wave maker. The surprising winner of most fun thing to ride in the waves we have seen in a long time. I think its meant for pools and lakes...leave it to the Hancock men to take it to new heights - literally. Thanks Mom for leaving it in the attic for us to find! Look for the video later in the week!

Mills - mighty crab hunter showing no fear or mercy!

Look at the millions of crabs she was hunting! (yes those are all crabs)

This spot just makes me happy. A Lindsay all time favorite...

Cousins - some making tough face, others not so much.

Bryan - working it this morning as the sun was rising. Thank you Bill!
