Homemade Ice Cream


We made homemade ice cream tonight, the first of the season. We were watching some friends kids so they could go on a date. The kids were having a great time playing and we were proud of ourselves for pulling off dinner for 4 kids and that everyone was getting along. The ice cream was a hit and the kids thoroughly loved having seconds and also putting sprinkles and chocolate on it.

Somewhere during the making, Kevin snapped a picture of B and I while we waited for the evening's highlight to be done. You know those pictures that kind've surprise you when you see them? Like you thought it was gonna be a bad pic or just not noteworthy at all. But then, wham.....you see how happy you look and the bright eyes on your son and realize, today is a great day. It is. I'm grateful. So so grateful for my little family. It's amazing really - that one life, one little baby that keeps growing up - can make you a family. Today's just another one of those days I feel so lucky to be a Mommy.

It really is a great shot, one of those great moments to remember.

Karen! I like your blog. Do you really think you should be giving Bradden ice cream? It will definentely rot his teeth and stunt his intellectual capacities. I know, I read books about stuff like this. Hope life is good.
