Ice-cream and heart crushing love...

One of the biggest splurges in our family lately has been ice-cream! We love to eat ice-cream and we are especially addicted to the bluebell brand (homemade vanilla is just the best!)I try not to serve it more than couple times a week but when we do it's a special treat and we enjoy it to the fullest! Ice-cream is one of the simplest pleasures in life one can have... this and a homemade cheesecake :) When i cuddled with Noah in bed last night, stroking his cheek when he was just about to drift off to sleep,
I thought about how he has recently changed. I can't believe how long and lean my little boy is. Where has the time gone? I feel overwhelming love for him and then I also feel sadness for the times when I have said, “In just a minute, Noah,” when he asks me to run in a yard with him or play with blocks. I feel guilt for not being the mommy I desperately want to be to him? It is also fear for the changes that will come as he grows older, fear for losing the incredibly special bond we have now...And fear that I’ll look back on these days and wish with all my heart that I could have been more to him and that I cherished every moment more fully and been more present with him...I love you baby soo much!

Eating bluebell ice-cream...(or should i say finishing what mommy left?) our favorite!
