Once again, our family is growing. Not with a new baby this time, but with a soon-to-be daughter-in-law! With two sons, it took quite a while to add girls to our family. The first one was our dear Jackie. Then Ella. And now....Amy! We welcome her with open arms and full hearts.
Tom sprung the question to her on Friday, her 23rd birthday. After she opened several gifts, he handed her an envelope and told her it was a puzzle. As she put the 8 1/2 by 11 black-and-white photo pieces together, she realized it was a giant picture of her and Tom with the Easter Bunny, taken at her aunt's home Easter weekend. But.....there were 3 pieces missing. Telling her they were probably still in the envelope....she completed the puzzle, and saw the words: "Will You Marry Me?"
After much screaming of disbelief, she has a beautiful ring on her finger, and dreams in her heart. They are both giddy with happiness. Needless to say....so are her 'future' in-laws. The wedding will be sometime next year!

Congratulations to Tom and Amy and your family. Leave it to Tom to be so creative in asking her to marry him. How exciting. I can't wait to tell the cousins.

Congrats!!!! That's terrific news! You must be so happy for them!
This is so *sweet*! I'm beyond thrilled for everyone involved! Garry proposed to me via Opus...remember Opus the penguin? He said, "Opus has a question for you." Then turned this little stuffed penguin around and it was holding my engagement ring between it's flippers. We're going on year 23...creative proposals go the distance. ;)
What wonderful news, Carol...I love how your son proposed! I wish them both the absolute very best life has to offer!
What a great story! Congrats!
Creative Mom has creative son. . . and now will also have another treasured daughter-in-law. I'm so excited for all y'all, Carol. Amy's so lucky to be joining your family where she'll continue to be loved and cherished.
