I remember being aware when Jonathan was born- that one day he'd leave home.  Grasping the fact that today is that day??  Impossible!  I believe I will always be one of those mom's who make it a point to tell new moms to enjoy their children because it'll fly by.  It really does.  
I am so grateful to the Lord for all that has taken place over these past few weeks.  Many wonderful memories were made- but the one that stands out most is our dinner on Day 9.   
Today was indeed surreal!  I truly sensed the grace of God at work- thank you to those who prayed!  We started our day all rising around 6ish.  As Jon was ready to head downstairs he went in to wake Miri.  This was precious :)


The first thing she asked was- "Is there lightening?"~Due to the flash from the camera :)

Jon put the last few things in his car... then sat down to breakfast with Bill.


I love this shot... my 3 men!

This is the "DON'T LEAVE" shot!

My 3 kids :)

Miri was so funny!  She said she wanted a "Don't leave" shot!!

As Jon was getting ready to leave I started crying so Miri said "Don't worry Mom- it's going to be okay!  Jon will be close to Disney!"  She then said "And you still got him!"  (Pointing to Bill :) )  We laughed and laughed which so helped as I took this shot...

And this one...  

How I thank the Lord for the privilege of being the mother of Jonathan Holt Brown!

What an awesome mom you are, Gisele! You have been on my heart during this transition. I pray special treasures will come through this new season.
Awwwh Gisele. So sweet.
It's so encouraging for me to read this since mine are so little.
I have been praying for you all. And I can't wait to see what God does!
