Sweet Dreams

We did it. He sleeps through the night now. Well, he did once, but I know we are through the rough part of this. Jack is such a good boy. He is so loving and affectionate. It is so hard for me to put him in his bed and walk away....I miss our special time together. I am still holding on to it for a bit...I still sing him lullabies and rock him until he gets heavy eyelids. And then I snap him back to reality with a wicked blow by putting him in his crib awake! Just kidding. It is terrible, but not quite evil.

Derek is back in Austin for a few more days. I am preparing for a busy Father's Day weekend with my sisters coming to visit. There is a big to-do at the Veteran's home that Greta and Jack are super excited for. They are going to make Papa smile big.

We found another favorite ice cream parlor, and we are going to pack a cooler full of dry ice and take some pints to Papa. Glace is an artisan ice cream shop with flavors made by Christopher Elbow...my favorite chocolate artisan. I was thrilled to hear it had opened and Derek took us last Saturday. We had a lazy day but finished it off right by heading down to the plaza. We had neopolitan pizza - goat cheese and arugula, and then we shared ice cream. I had lemon curd with fresh blueberries, creme fraiche, and vanilla bean. It was like a piece of key lime pie with whipped cream on top. Derek had spiced Venezuelan Chocolate and something else that I didn't try...I was satisfied with my flavors. We will be pressing our faces against their coolers often this summer, I am sure of it!
