The Wedding--Part 2

The ravishing bride, Aunt Susan, standing next to Grandma (her mom) and probably listening to Chance tell a tall tale (which he learned from his Grandpa) about the snake from the night before.

Gracie in her swwweeeeet, doll-like, pink party-dress and patent leather shoes (BTW, ignore the date stamp, which is obviously wrong).
Our family (insert hearts here)! The twins turned 18 months old on the day of the wedding, October 11, 2008!
L to R: Grandpa Boespflug, Uncle Matt (Jenny's brother), Grandma Boespflug, Aunt Jessie--"WE ARE FAMILY!" The twins really savored all of the extra attention . . . developmentally leaping ahead, yet again.
The sisters (Aunt Manda, Mommy, Aunt Jessie) . . . thanks to Aunt Manda's persistence, Gracie now says "I love you" quite well--and definitely understands that it's a phrase of endearment too!
Uncle Matt and Chance . . .

. . . playing in the dirt . . . BOYS!

Gracie fed her Grandpa more cubes of cheese than Mommy could count . . .
Chance and Grace at the reception . . . Mommy adores Chance in his bowtie, what a dashingly handsome boy. Mommy's in love! (THANK YOU to Grandma for the twins' beautiful wedding attire!)

Chance wearing a "wreath" made with Aunt Manda--a little cherub in a halo (?) . . . or a little devil taking apart the table decoration (?) . . . and how culpable is Aunt Manda in all of this?

Aunt Jessica and Chance (and Chance's tongue)!

We celebrated Aunt Manda's birthday at the VERY amazing Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester. Seriously, folks, never seen anything like it. It's the "only museum in the world dedicated solely to the study of play" and well worth the admission fee (it's nearly impossible to see/do the entire museum in one day)! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AUNT MANDA!!

Mommy thinks this is a great picture of both, a particularly beautiful one of Grandma (and it's amazing that Chance's hand isn't in his mouth)!

Chance inherited his Daddy's ability to entertain; at only 18 months, he does "anything for a laugh" (and he laughs with us)!

Chance "plays" chess.

Gracie enjoyed Aunt Manda's birthday cookie--"Yummy tummy. Mmmm good." (She really says these things.)
At the Strong Museum, Grace and Chance rode a full-sized merry-go-round for the first time (here's Chance with Grandpa).

Culpable, hu? You haven't seen anything yet. Be weary of a relentless aunt's payback. Remember, it can ALWAYS be worse.
