Pomp and Circumstance 2009

We celebrated Ryan's graduation from highschool last night at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen. It was a beautful night full of hope for the future!



Ryan and Alexis have been friends since they were born ... through preschool, elementary school, highschool and college, too! It wouldn't be a celebration without photos of Skippy and Peanut Butter!





We have these same pictures when Meghan graduated. It's been a joy to watch these sisters and friends grow over the years. Aren't they beautiful!





Lifelong friendships full of wonderful memories ...

A weekend with our favorite little person

We had a blast having Ezio with us this weekend while his Mommy and Daddy were both in different weddings. As you can see, he is getting bigger and much more little boy than baby! In fact, that's what Patrick calls him, "little boy."

 

He is still a little guy, so he had his moments - not sure if Ryan made him mad or if he was just upset at not getting his way. At any rate, the face is great! And, he's such a cutie pie.

Guess who's home ...

As you can tell by the piles, more than the lump in the bed, Meghan is home for the summer! She and Brian got home late last night and I am sure she will spend much of today doing exactly this!

The College of Charleston!

After much deliberation and an additional trip to South Carolina, Ryan has decided to attend the College of Charleston. Charleston is a fantastic city and the college has everything Ryan wants! And, to make this an even more fabulous experience, Ryan's best friend since she was in utero, Alexis, has decided to attend the College of Charleston as well! Check out the photos from our recent visit ...

Senior Music Awards

This year, the music department held a special senior awards dinner instead of the traditional awards ceremony with all the music students. It was an Italian dinner in the cafeteria decorated to look like an Italian cafe. Everyone had a great time!
