Veronica
She's come a long way - June 5, 2009 9:16 PM
That's V doing her penny work during the last week of her first year of Montessori. While we still can't believe that Veronica has just finished her first year of preschool, we are more in awe (and proud) of...
It was a very good year... - January 3, 2009 7:00 PM
Dan and I rang in the 2008 year by watching the Jon & Kate plus 8 marathon on TLC. I was 32 weeks pregnant and we had been chasing a toddler around all day, so we were not really up...
We love Autumn! - October 19, 2008 4:26 PM
I spend most of the year waiting for this season to arrive! I absolutely love the colors and smells of fall, as well as all the wonderful things you can do..pumpkin patch, fall festivals, Keeneland, football games, family get-togethers,...
Veronica turns 3--what a day! - September 26, 2008 10:14 PM
Our world changed in unimaginable ways three years ago today. It's hard to believe Veronica is "old" enough to even be three, especially when I go back and read one of our first posts, The birth of Baby V, to...
First sibling portrait together - September 21, 2008 9:54 PM
We took family pictures in honor of Veronica's upcoming 3rd birthday. We haven't scanned the family portrait yet, but here is the one of just the two children. Veronica's smile is precious. It might even fool you into thinking...
Veronica starts Montessori - August 23, 2008 10:55 PM
Veronica started preschool this year. I know...preschool...I still can't believe it myself. These past three years have went by so quickly, and I know when we start gaging the time by school years, it will go even more quickly....
Raising Geeks - August 23, 2008 10:46 PM
Shh! Don't tell Dan, but I love this picture! Dan got to enjoy a few days at home with the kids while I was at school preparing for opening day. They had a great time, though I did question...
Would you like to super-size that? - July 11, 2008 6:50 PM
Warren went for his 4 month check up and vaccinations appointment today. All was well and he was ahead of schedule on everything from motor skills to his physical size. Doc was particularly impressed with his social skills. Here...
The blue gumdrop has arrived! - June 25, 2008 11:02 AM
Update from June 4th post: I posted a couple weeks ago about the Gumdrop pacifier trade-in special and wondered if they would send us a blue one or not. Well, a brand new BLUE gumdrop pacifier arrived just a...
Morning routines... - June 8, 2008 10:15 PM
Veronica loves her little brother. Every morning she waits patiently outside his door, listening for the first sounds from her little brother's bed that tell her that he is awake. With the biggest smile on her face, she runs...
Where did all the Flickr pictures go? - May 29, 2008 11:34 PM
If you regularly visited our family photos on Flickr, you may very well be asking yourself that question. If you have visited our Flickr account in the past few days, you may have noticed that all the pictures of our...
Six Weeks - April 15, 2008 7:58 AM
Warren is six weeks old today and we have observed something new about his personality...he is not going to be out done by his big sister. So far he is matching her milestone for milestone. Veronica rolled over (belly to...
Family of Four: One Month - April 4, 2008 11:06 AM
Warren is one month old today and has settled quite nicely into the Hancock household. He is growing at an amazing rate. I know babies grow, but since I am with him every day, I don't always notice it. Just...
Twitter is better than 1,000 photos - March 22, 2008 11:19 PM
I've been preaching to anyone who would listen for years, it seems, about Twitter. I send out periodic invitations to people I know, and except for a few folks who've started using it, my pleas fall upon deaf ears. People...
Where's the camera when you want it? - March 20, 2008 6:10 PM
Last night Warren rolled over twice! However, once I got the camera out to record it, he was content just to lay on his belly and coo. Argh! Veronica also rolled over at 2 weeks and we did manage to...
Candy palindrome - August 14, 2007 11:24 PM
I was going through our photos from Savannah today when I noticed the following photo palindrome: A) "Look, Veronica, do you see the candy?" B) Dan: Man, that's sure neat how they make candy in the store. C) Veronica: Holy...
Move over J Lo... - January 29, 2007 5:47 PM
there's a new girl in town. This is our adorable Veronica on the Cadillac Escalade that her Papaw and Granny bought for her....
A Day at the Pumpkin Patch - October 15, 2006 3:22 PM
Veronica enjoyed her first pumpkin picking trip at Boyd Orchards in Woodford County this past Saturday. In addition to checking out the pumpkins, she went on her first hayride and went down a big slide! Here is the link to...
Veronica's first birthday - October 3, 2006 8:55 AM
Veronica is now one year old! I'm in the process of writing up something more substantial, but in the meantime, here are links to the pictures: Pictures from Veronica's birthday Pictures from Veronica's first birthday party Also, for those aware...
Photos from Hilton Head - September 24, 2006 9:47 PM
We've just returned from Hilton Head, SC, where we went for Allyson and Neal's wedding. Veronica was a wonderful traveller, and just had a swell time. She was thrilled with the ocean (though she didn't know what to make of...
Hancock Family Update - July 9, 2006 10:55 PM
One way to know if people visit your site or not, I have learned, is to not update it for awhile and wait to see how many "when are you going to update your website?" comments your hear. Okay, well...
Teeth! - April 30, 2006 1:11 PM
Happy Easter! - April 17, 2006 11:38 PM
We're still here - April 17, 2006 9:06 PM
It has been so long since I made a post, that I practically forgot how to do it! You are probably wondering where did those overly-dedicated parents go, but don't worry, we are still here! I have just added lots...
Two Month Doctor's Visit - December 1, 2005 11:32 PM
We all survived V's two month checkup. The four vacinations were a little traumatic for all of us, but not nearly as awful as the day that 4-day old V was stuck in both feet and both arms by a...
Vee at two months - November 26, 2005 9:19 PM
An observation - November 9, 2005 11:43 PM
I'm laying in bed, Lori's asleep, and I'm surfing the net because I can't sleep. I hear Baby V snoring over the monitor, and then I hear the exact same sound from right beside me. Of course, this means that...
Changing of the Guards - November 6, 2005 2:52 PM
Tomorrow is my first day back to work. It is amazing how fast these past six weeks have flown by. I have loved every minute being home and caring for our darling daughter. Many other parents told me about the...
My favorite photo so far! - November 6, 2005 2:40 PM
I love this picture of our family, so I thought I would share it with the world!...
Truth in e-mail - October 25, 2005 3:06 PM
From Chris: Was good to hang out with you guys last night and see little V again. She amazes me at how good she is, I don't think I've seen her cry yet, though I'm sure you guys have plenty....
And more photos... - October 24, 2005 8:20 PM
New, behind the curtain - new photos in the week 4 and 52 weeks galleries! She sat under her own power for these ones....
Rolling over! - October 13, 2005 10:26 PM
My baby is a prodigy. Already, she is showing her extraordinary abilities. What to Expect the First Year suggests that only the most agile babies will be able to roll over by the end of their second month - that...
On bottle-feeding - October 12, 2005 6:42 PM
I just spend half an hour bottle-feeding Princess Awake-A-Lot, only to realize that in that entire half hour, she'd not actually consumed anything; she'd just been sucking on her giant pacifier daddy. Because, you know, nourishment is only high on...
Heyyyyyyy - October 10, 2005 10:24 PM
Ladies and gentlemen, on tonight's episode of Happy Days, the Fonz will be played by Baby V. My baby gave me a spontaneous thumbs-up, for the camera, no less! Wahoo!...
Two Week Checkup - October 10, 2005 8:04 PM
Baby V had her two week checkup today. She now weighs 9 lbs. and 11 oz. and is 21 and 3/4 inches long. She is in the 75th percentile for her weight and the 91st percentile for her length. All...

Sleep report - October 1, 2005 4:17 PM
When you're at the hospital, getting ready to go home with your new baby as first time parents, the nurses try to arm you with a little knowledge of what you'll be facing. One thing they tell you about newborns...
More Baby V pictures - September 28, 2005 6:19 PM
We're home from the hospital, and Lori and Baby V are both doing well. Lori or I will post more about the last two days later, but we're both pretty tired right now, so all you get are two more...
The birth of Baby V - September 27, 2005 11:35 AM
Baby V was born at 6:28 pm, after 10 hours of induction. We arrived at 8:00, and our wonderful nurse filled out forms for about half an hour, verifying that we were indeed who we said we were and that...
As the one not carrying the baby... - September 23, 2005 2:20 PM
We've been hoping for weeks now that baby V would surprise us, and that we'd be in the hospital long before her due date. Obviously now, that wasn't the case. But I have been so keyed up about the possibility...
The nursery is ready, the car is packed, but where is the baby? - September 23, 2005 10:41 AM
Well September 22 came and went and we are still not holding our precious little baby girl. Yesterday was Veronica’s official due date, the date that we circled on our calendars back in January when we first found out that...
