There's a baby on board!

Because we live hours away from so many of our family & friends, I decided a blog would be a great way for all of you to have a closer look into what's going on with Baby Ripley, Mommy & Daddy as we anxiously await & prepare for January 2, 2011.

Mountain Lions & Buffalo & Bear, OH MY!

Today was Brett & I's last day before life gets CRAZY! We decided to wake up & start our day off at the WV Wildlife Reserve which is actually just 10-15 minutes up the road from us. For $3/person & a 1.5 mile walk, we got to see mountain lion, black bear, elk, otter, wolves, coyote, owl, bald eagle, fisher, buffalo & so much more!



It was such a nice cool morning. Kinsley was so excited to go. She was kicking Mommy all morning to get out of bed & get moving. She was ready for some ANIMALS! We couldn't believe how close we were to the mountain lions & decided Kinsley needed her picture with them. It'll be fun to get her picture in the same place one day!


Also, today was Kinsley's first real Ohio State football game and it was the biggest one of the year, again Miami. Luckily for all of us the Buckeyes won. What a great game! And Daddy cooked the girls t-bone steaks on the grill at halftime. He's already spoiling us! (and we like it!)
From here on out life is going to be HECTIC. I start traveling 4-5 days a week as of Monday, which mean I'll be away from the house most days & nights throughout the week. Brett's on his second golf tournament with the WVWC team, which means he's traveling every weekend until the latter part of October. Our time together is going to be very slim until Thanksgiving & we have so much to do to get ready for baby! I know everything will fall into place the way it's meant to, but right now, these next 2 months seem almost impossible.
