A Farewell to Uncle Ben

We took these pictures in late November, just days before Ben moved to Ohio. For anyone who doesn't know, Ben moved to Warren, Ohio to follow his career path of being a welder. He packed up evrything that he could fit in his truck and drove from California to Ohio, making a brief stop in Texas to meet up with Mom and Brian. Life in Ohio has been rough for Ben to adapt to as it is such a stark contrast to California, but he is doing great and is excited to be starting school on January 14th, 2008. It was tough to see him go and know that he isn't down the street anymore, but we talk often, and Giselle, I and the rest of the family are so proud of him and the choices he is making.
