The obligatory new year post! Had to do it since I haven't posted since November. All are well. Enrique is on his almost third month of a juice cleanse, which he usually does once a year. Baby is inspiring and incredible, as he has more than doubled his birth weight while eating only mother's milk, with the exception of some pureed solid food every three or four days since his first bite on Thanksgiving. And more than growing, he is thriving. He has totally avoided all the colds, fevers, and infections that come with the season and that afflict all the other babes we know. I'm sure it helps that E. and I are never or rarely sick.
Ice cream is a blast! I am so happy we decided to make the jump to selling the ice cream, rather than just enjoying it ourselves as we have done for the last two years. It is just so much darn fun to share the yumminess with others and has introduced us to new and wonderful people. The buzz right now is for the "premium pints" made with macadamia cream. At $15 a pint, I did not think they would sell, but listed them to make the $12 pints seem more reasonable by comparison. I soon learned that when the cost truly reflects the quality and love that go into the product, it is not necessarily going to be an issue.
On a personal note for mama, 2008 is the year for fierce dedication to raw bliss, yoga body and deep, aerobic breathing in the open mountain air. I feel inspired, full of love, and ready to make it the best year ever!
