It has been a week for romance in our family. Last Saturday, the 15th, Ian totally surprised Dominique...
...when he got down on one knee and popped the question.
Until I saw the video of this I thought my youngest granddaughter knew what was about to happen. But she was totally surprised.
In the video it is a toss up whether she is laughing unbelievably or about ready to cry.
It was so sweet and such a gorgeous autumn day and setting at Palisades-Kepler State Park.
They met when Dominique went to Cornell College in Mt. Vernon and began volunteering on the Lisbon Ambulance Service. Ian was also a volunteer there.
Their friendship grew and deepened. We met him when she brought him to meet her parents. Over the years we have gotten to know him better and really like him.
They haven't set a wedding date yet, but I am looking forward to welcoming him as a new grandson.
One week after my youngest granddaughter got engaged, her brother, my youngest grandson, Devin got married.
Yesterday was a gorgeous day for an outdoor wedding. This photo of Devin and Jessica was of them being presented as husband and wife.
Bride and groom with groom's parents and grandparents and new step-son.
Shalea, Ramona, Devin, Preston, Jessica, Bud and Pete. Oakley next to his mother.
Ian and Dominique at her brother's wedding.
I got to see her engagement ring up close and it is beautiful. Ian has good taste.
Grandpa Bud and Grandma Ramona with the handsome groom.
Grandma Ramona with her beautiful girls - Dominique, Shalea, Deise, Kathryn, Katrina and great-granddaughter Brynley.
Shalea with her grandsons, Ayden, Greyson, Oakley and Louis.
We need some more granddaughters in the family!
Cousins - my youngest great-grandson Louis and youngest great-granddaughter Brynley.
She is a little mother hen - always wanting to take care of the babies.
It is such a joy and privilege to be watching this next generation growing up.
Random grouping - Zach, Deise, Bud, Katrina, Ki and Brynley.
Katrina is my eldest granddaughter and a cousin of Deise and Ki.
Love this photo of the newly engaged couple running across the lawn. They had wandered off for a little time alone when suddenly summoned back for more photos.
They are so cute together. 💕😍
Travis, Kathryn and their son Louis.
Travis said this is a good representation of Louis' yelling stage. (Twenty months old.)
I love that he carries his great-great-grandfather's name. (My dad, Louis.)
I could go on with a lot more photos but this one seems a good one to end on.
Sweet, precocious, Brynley giving her great-grandma a big smile as we left.
It was a beautiful day made even more special by being with family.
