How To Make Ribs

Brady’s birthday was a success. He got to eat breakfast with Anna, my mom brought him Chipotle for lunch, his dinner was a giant slab of ribs and then he played poker with the guys.

Yesterday was a beautiful day in Columbus.  We had sun and clouds and warm temperatures.  Today is another story -rain, hail and freezing temps.  Luckily we spent lots of time outside yesterday.  We walked, played on Jasper’s slide and read books outside.

Good morning! It’s STILL raining here in beautiful central Ohio. Anna is napping and I am running around doing laundry, making dinner and getting ready for the day. We are planning on heading to the gym when she wakes up, but I thought I would post dinner, since it’s done. We are having our friends Levi and Alexis over for dinner tonight so hopefully they like it!
