What's New in the Hood

Wednesday, 18 degrees and snowing so bad it brought the city to it's knee's. Sunday, mid-60's and time to bust out the grill for the 1st time in too long.


Today we are grilling some Ribeye's and Pineapple. Ribeye's were marinated in some fresh blended pineapple, soy sauce, vinegar and some special spices. Pineapples were dredged through some buttermilk and seasoned up with a cinnamon and sugar mix. Let's bring those steaks to a nice 135 degrees for dad and 145 for mom. That's medium rare and medium for those non grillers out there.




Riley has been picking out her own clothes lately, stripes and checkers are some kind of fashion statement. Momma does not approve but daddy thinks she's doin just fine.

Here is the grill master now. Actually daddy is still on grill duties while Riley walks around and says "hot" and then blows on the grill. You can still see the remains of snow on the deck.





With the snow brought many day care closings. AGAIN! So we had a little daddy/daughter time on Thursday.

Riley is about ready for a new big girl bed and McKenna is looking to get out of the bunk beds in her room. So we took the top bunk out of McKenna's and gave it to Riley, 2 happy girls with 1 simple move. Here's Riley in her new spread!




The ceiling is sooooo much further away!


No day at home would be complete without torturing a puppy. Today's victim, Mikka. Actually Raimo has stayed out of harms way lately by going to bed about any time Riley is up. Poor pup has to hide out in his own home.
