Auntie M and Bill are engaged!!!!

We went to Dallas over the weekend for Auntie M and Bill's engagement. Auntie M had no idea that we (or the proposal!) were coming and she was so very surprised and ecstatic! It was a short and jam-packed trip, but we had a great time and we're so happy for Auntie M and Bill!

On Friday night, Bill surprised Auntie M at her house after work with the ring. All of the Murphys and the Flemings waited at the restaurant to surprise her and to celebrate! K was all dressed up for the occasion in her party dress.

Patiently waiting for Auntie M and Bill

Surprise!!!

Happy tears!

"Show us the ring!" Auntie M with Mr. Fleming and Patrick

"Gorgeous!" Auntie M with Grandma Murphy and Mrs. Fleming

"How did it go?!" Bill with his sister, Mary, and Uncle C

"Hi, Auntie M!"


The happy couple!


K ate like a champ...a whole bowl of noodles and some bread, too!

We had to get one picture of the three of us all dressed up before I took K up to bed

On Saturday night, we went over to Auntie M's for an impromptu engagement party with the Murphys, the Flemings, and some of Auntie M and Bill's friends. K enjoyed herself playing with all of Auntie M's kitchen utensils and bowls...


She was the life of the party...

With Mommy and Daddy...

And Grandpa, too...

Until she just wore herself out! But we had to get a picture of Auntie M and Bill with all of the Murphys

And with all of the Flemings

It was a great weekend and we are so honored that Bill invited us to be a part of his special proposal! He and the Flemings are a wonderful addition to the family and we are so happy for Auntie M and Bill!
