What a perfect wedding! My sister was such a natural bride and so low maintenance, it was just as a wedding should be. Low on pomp, high on celebration. Though, I feel like I’m in a coma now that we’re back. But it was such a flawless trip (though the bride seems to have taken over my terrible, horrible, no good, very bad luck with flying) and I got to spend so much of it omm nomm nomming babies, that the after-coma is acceptable fallout.
Oh, the babies. My niece Penny is about as lovely and mild and calm as a baby can be, and there’s probably nothing sweeter than when she first wakes up, smiles and footie pajamas. My nephew, in contrast, is Calm’s arch nemesis Captain Chaos. He’s a holy effing terror – the cutest holy effing terror I’ve ever seen. Who wore a tiny tux to the wedding. Seriously, ridiculous. He’s got all these new words, funny faces and a battery that does not seem to drain. Ever. If there was something messy, unsafe or breakable, he could find it instantly. He’s truly gifted.
Pictures to come. Pinky swear.
What’s nuts is that after a few days away from the Interwebs, my comment section got totally overrun with spam – like THOUSANDS, and I get the sweet task of sorting through all of them to find the real comments. I apologize in advance if I mix your real comment up with spam.
Your niece and nephew sound like my kids – the youngest is the picture of calm, and the oldest is a Chaos on Speed!
Welcome home.
How fun for you and congrats to your sis!
Ah, kids.
Appreciate the “pinky swear”…can’t wait to see!
a fellow reader and i were discussing your relationship status after re-reading some of our favorite posts.
so tell me (us)…
while you were at this wedding, did you introduce the Dork Lord to relatives/friends as your “boyfriend” or “fiance”??!!
after the ring shopping and ‘discussions’ we can’t help but wonder!

Chrissielynn,
We’re not engaged, so I introduced him as my boyfriend. One of my mom’s friends kept weirdly referring to him as my “friend” as though we were supposed to pretend the whole world doesn’t already know we share a bed? Ah, religious zeal.
Strange, yours is the 2nd blog I’ve read this week that has complained about a huge influx of spam comments in the past couple days. Good luck sorting them out!
Oh man, that sucks about the spammers. But please post pics of the little ones soon, they sound adorable. My biological clock has yet to begun ticking, but my Auntie clock has!
I’ve had kind of a crap day at work. I’m going to a friend’s house after work to hug her babies. It really is the best therapy.
Easy-going weddings are the best! I’ve been to both and the worst is when you have a bridezilla at the helm!
And what is it with Spam? A few of my friends emails have been hacked lately…and I’m getting tons of it to my personal and work emails! Ick. Boo to computer spammers. Boo, I say.
Aaaaauuugh, I HATE spam!
But your niece and nephew sound ADORABLE!!!!
When my son was 2 he was in his uncle’s wedding. He wore a tiny little suit, was napping while we got him dressed for the wedding, did perfectly in rehearsal, then cried during the ceremony because the flower girl was crying. But he had a GREAT time at the reception! He got down and boogied with the best of ‘em!
Ha, “friend”! My parents used to do that with my X of 7 Years in Tibet! Friend, indeed.
has anyone told you you look like carly smithson of american idol from last year? she has a new song out and it struck me when I saw the photo .
