Michael's 40th birthday and the Hancock family visit

At the end of June Michael celebrated his fortieth birthday and the entire Hancock family came over to help him celebrate. Thirty old and new friends joined us for the party. While the family were here we visited the Ritter Sport chocolate factory (where Laila had her first taste of chocolate!), Tübingen, Herrenberg and the castle, Holzgerlingen and Sindelfingen. Derek also went to work with Catherine one morning and he and Michael also did a tour of the Daimler factory. It was a very crazy time but good to be together. Laila was incredibly good, she knows who all her relatives are now!
