and so the family grows

Mr. Wonderful received a phone call yesterday aternoon from Michelle's boyfriend. Yesterday was Michelle's birthday and he was planning to propose over dinner. Mr. Wonderful gave his blessings and we stared at the phone for hours waiting for her jubilant voice! Finding it hard to keep such a secret - I told a select few of her siblings - so now we all were waiting for the magical moment.

Fred (as I named him) came into our lives 2 years ago. He is a kind soul with a big heart. He took quite a ribbing from all of us and he stood his ground - in other words, we didn't frighten him away. He makes Michelle happy. Those are 2 qualities that will insure longevity - a sense of humor and a love of my daughter.

Michelle called us last night in a flurry of happy tears. We are so thrilled. We are all going over there today - we are meeting the in-laws (a preplanned get together that now has a deep meaning!)
