Abigail Sougnez Hawkins - March 29, 2007

Had a quick visit with Abigail's family last night....She's growing up so fast....Carrie wanted Auntie Beth to see how cute this dress looks on Abby....

Enough photographs Gram....
Mom loves Abigail....

One more of Lincoln

I could not resist putting this adorable photograph up....I know you can call me a "bragging grandmother"...it's true....I'm guilty as charged!!!

Lincoln is getting so big....

Took a few more of Lincoln...he's getting so big and "chunky".....
This one's for you Nana and Grandpa in Bristol....he looks so much like his Dad in this photograph...Archie Junior!!
I tried different backgrounds...no matter what -- he's adorable!
Oh Oh Conor....Lincoln is being "bold" again sticking out his tongue!!!
We tried glasses on him too!!!

Lance gets his Tricycle all set up...

Pepe' puts the finishing touches on Lance's bike....how do you like his shirt that Uncle Michael gave him..."Handsome Little Devil"....we must show this to Lance when he's all grown up and dating!!!
Lance is a movie star...he is such a "tease" kid...he loves horsing around and fooling everyone!!!
Uncle Tighe played Mr. Potato Head with Lance too.
Lincoln is constantly trying to eat his socks....you'll go to pick him up and his socks are soaking wet from him trying to eat them....
Here is Lincoln with this adorable hat and a shirt that says "born in 2006"...one of my "bus buddies" Ethan and his Mom gave this to Lincoln....

Lance copies Pepe' with his tools

Lance is fascinated watching Pepe' use the tools to put the tricycle together....
Lance wants to help out...
This is serious stuff...
This one is my favorite...he hands Pepe' the correct tool.....good teamwork guys...
I kept thinking of Lance's great grandfather "Gene" Sougnez and how he showed his little son Jeffrey how to use tools...I'll have to scan one of the many photographs I have of Jeffrey with his Dad.....history is repeating itself.

Lance is a "big brother" to Lincoln

Lance loves his little brother....

Lance is taking Lincoln for a ride in his little truck.

Lance is being silly thinking he can still fit in the little exercise seat Priscilla gave us...he knows he's too big for it....we use that thing so much....thanks again Priscilla!!!

More group shots and Lance hugging Abby

Lance just loves hugging Abby....


Is Lance hugging Abby?
We got Lance a "Thomas" book about trains...he's very serious about his books...

Carrie and Lance....."group" shot.....

Carrie was having fun playing Mr Potato Head with Lance....she was so happy to spend some time with him...he must seem to grown up now...especially compared to little Abby...

Here are a few of my attempts at a "group" shot......I need to do some more...but these are fun and they'll make you laugh.....

Abby looks "annoyed" at this point....she's had enough....she'll have to get used to photographs...with her Mom and Grammy....

Abby and Pepe....Carrie and Lance

Abby looks adorable with her little "spring" sweater.
Pepe' got to hold Miss Abby....she's like holding a cloud after picking up our grandsons....

Carrie sent this one the other day with Mom and daughter in "new jeans"
Carrie had not seen Lance since before Christmas...so she was so happy to hold him and catch up.....Lance says so much now...he repeats everything you say....

Weekend with grandchildren.....what Fun.....

I tried to get a portrait of Kathy and the boys....I can't believe I did this for a living years ago....I need 2 more "handlers" to get their attention all at once....these are the 2 best "shots"!!!! Who cares....it's only for fun!!!
Lance's attention span for photographs is about "zero"...
Lance just loves to play with any kind of balls...I'm sure he'll play many sports in his life.....He is NEVER still....
