The girls and their freinds

Today Valerie went to shopping at Stoneridge Mall with Jasmine, her friend from elementary school. And Isablle went out with Marisa her friend from Charlotwood. They have a lot to catch up and Valerie will not have much time to prepare for her departure. The house felt rather funny with Benjamin gone. I always feel funny walking apst Benjamin's room. Knowing that he will grow more and more and be more and more independent. When he was with us we enjoy him but we respect his ideas and know that he is gettng bigger and bigger and will leave us totally soon. I remember when he was little and I can't wait for him to leave. Those time were really short thinking about it. When all of them are little and always have to run to mom for comfort and decision and security and protection. But I am so proud of him right now. He is fine young man. i am thinking again that he will eb staying in Bay Area or some where in CAlifornia. He prefer to be where he know not wiling to settle down in other country or otehr states.may be he like to be in Switzerland. it is one of the place where he feel the most comfortable.
