Bruce finally received his master's degree from George Washington University this year. Although the last course completed in May, the presentation ceremony was held in September.

Andrew joined some of his friends for the 2008 homecoming dance and a night out without parents.

Eileen took a solo trip to Florida to see her parents and sibs. Looks as if she had a pretty good time.

Rachel turns 17 this spring and was able to participate in St. Marys annual Prom Night. It's a big deal for both the kids and the staff. Read through the photo sequence for an explanation.

Rachel was in great spirits on this visit, which included a Family Night complete with Chik-Fil-A and a movie at St. Mary's. Just caught a few fine moments with our girl. Precious!
