More Cute Pics & Video

Just a fun picture I took of Ben at PF Changs restaurant


A typical morning around here :)


The cutest outfit ever! Aunt Deenie gave this to Abby, and I've dubbed it her Party Dress :)


Look at that pose!


At the end of a long day


Ben and Trace playing with a spinning train top that Aunt Deenie gave Ben. Trace likes to make it spin at warp speed :)

At 1 week before 5 months old Abby rolled over at Gigi's house on Memorial Day!

Four generations of Furniss men :) All as stubborn as ever!


Granny and Abby. She said that Abby was almost too heavy to hold :)


Ben dancing at the fish fry we had.


Abigail and Mamaw


Abigail and Papaw. His favorite trick is to take his dentures out and scare the kids. Luckily, he hasn't tried it on Abby yet :)


I just love this picture of Papaw playing his '58 Les Paul. Trace tunes it for him when we come to town, b/c he can't hear very well. Then Papaw plays and sings some of his favorite tunes :)

Abigail Talking

First, we were trying to get Abigail to talk some and this happened.


Take two...

Abigail's Baptism

Abigail Elisabeth Furniss was christened on Saturday, April 26th at St. Stephen's Reformed Episcopal Church, the church I grew up in.

Aunt Gina, the Godmother, flew in from L.A. She gave Ben his very own camera...stay tuned for "Ben's Blog" :)

Uncle John tries to show Ben how to use it. He keeps wanting to look through it backwards, from the lens side...we have lots of pics of his nose :)

That face is priceless!!!

Getting dressed for her big day.

"Mama, are you sure my dress is straight?"

Her Christening gown is a family heirloom. It was made by my grandmother and worn by my aunt and uncle. It's one of two gowns in our family. Ben wore the other one which was worn by my great-grandmother over 100 years ago and was also the gown I wore for my baptism. BUT Miss Chunker wouldn't fit into that one ;)

The dressing process was taking too long for her.

So pretty!

The Christening service

She loved the water!

Ben didn't want to be left out :)

Uncle John, Aunt Gina, Aunt Katherine are Abigail's godparents :)

Aunt Kat making Abby giggle

Abigail and her Mimi and Gigi

She was given so many wonderful gifts. Her pearls were from my mom and the silver bracelet from her great-grandparents (my mom's parents)

Hopefully, someone else got a picture of the cake before we cut into it :)

Our attempt at a family picture :) It's near impossible to get everyone looking right.

Abigail meets her cousin Tyler. Can you believe she's only two weeks older?!

Her cousin, Bryce, checks her out by poking her face. Her brother tends to do the same thing :)

Me, Mom, Sis & Abby

Benjamin's first time fishing (he had no line in his fishing pole)

If this isn't the epitome of an afternoon in Mississippi, then I don't know what is :) By the way, they are fishing from my mom's backyard...nice!!

Found the cord!

After digging through many boxes, I found the cord to my camera! So get ready for a ton of photos :) Here a few random cute pictures.

Ben sporting the Jackie O. look

How most mornings begin...Ben watching "raccoons" as he calls his cartoons :)

My cuties!

I love that look she's giving him!

Ok, so I'm usually anti the baby headband, but it came with the outfit...and she's so darn cute!!

I love my babies :)
