Big News...

No, i'm not pregnant... I am leaving Potager Restaurant after working there as wine buyer/bar manager for 5 years. I'll be working at The Truffle Cheese Shop full time! We are so excited, especially Ronnie, since his mama will be able to put him to bed most nights. Rob and I will have more time together and he won't have 100% of the "burden" of running the business. He sees it as fun, but it's still work!


Ronnie is doing great. He's still taking his nap- going on 2 hours! So, i'll post some pics. I got him a pair of baby chopsticks and he loves them. Everything tastes better on a chopstick! Also, he's really been into raspberries. Maybe Claire told him how great they are- she loooves them.
I looked in his mouth the other day and he's getting ALL his teeth! I kid you not. Every tooth, except for the back molars that come in later! He's been surprisingly happy and still sleeping through the night.
But, he wants a cracker pretty much every second of the day. I think they feel good on his gums. So, we've been very creative with the cracker supply! We have: toast, graham crackers, fancy crackers from the shop, japanese bean crackers and he's just been turned onto Vietnamese rice crackers with shrimp! I wasn't sure if it's ok to give him shellfish yet, but he seems to be ok! Any thoughts?
All else is well. Rob has been working a ton while i'm finishing up at the restaurant. My last day there is on the 21st of January. Wish us luck!!!

Hey! Congrats on moving to fulltime at the Truffle Shop!!! That is great! It seems like you will like that so much better-- you can focus on what you love and not have to divide your time in 2 places all the time. I still want to make it over there, maybe one of these days when I have the car Madison and I will make the trek. I can't believe how big Ronnie is!!! I loved the video, and the blowing kisses!! :) Too cute. Hope you guys can come to Madison's birthday. --K
