Yesterday, our grandson Richard became engaged to Stacy Taddeo. He was very excited. He had bought her a very beautiful ring and planned the special moment so that it would be a surprise to her. Not sure how much of a surprise it was, but from what I understand, when he asked her to marry him that her response was �Of course, I will�.

According to my daughter Cathy (Richard�s mom), they have already started making plans for the wedding which should be next June. It will be here before you know it.

It is so hard to believe that our �little� grandson will in the very near future become a husband. Another plateau in our lives too as I mentioned to my husband; another extension of our family. Of course, Stacy has been around for a long time, but now it will become �official�. She fits in perfectly and we all just love her.

Congratulations Richard and Stacy. We love you both!
