What better place than a blue plate (at least it appears blue in the photographer's light) for the 1907 wedding portrait of Grandpa and Grandma Sprick? Maria probably let Claus be the one to sit down because he was 13 years older than her, and probably a little tireder, at least at the time. They went on to have 12 children. The scrapblog editor, mother of one, is trying to imagine having 12 children, picturing 12 little Noahs in her house, for example, and is unable to do so without fainting. Our forebears were made of stern stock, for sure.
