The Tripp Family: Not Much to Report

A whole lot of nothing has been going on these past few weeks. We are just anxiously awaiting Kendal's arrival. The last few months flew by, but ever since December 1st if feels as if the clock has stopped ticking...the anticipation is almost killing me! Only 1 more day and 18 hours to go!!!!
Kennedy turned 18 months old last week! I don't know if it was something they put in her shot or what, but ever since that day my little baby seems all grown up with an attitude to match! She gets into EVERYTHING!!! I know, she's a toddler, that's what they are supposed to do, but geez! She's up and down the steps 50times a day, obsessed with anything that has buttons, cords, or lights. She MUST inspect everything and anything including a bug she dissected this afternoon before I could get a tissue to kill it. She's so busy & has such a love for life~ she's a little sponge for sure! We went to the doctor and she did great with her shot (only had to have 1 this visit) Her stats at 18 months are: she weighed in at 24lbs and 33inches tall and still only 5 teeth! We have determined that she is left handed so far, she knows 23 animal sounds, almost every body part, completes 3 board puzzles with out getting any wrong, can identify 2 colors, says countless words and can name everyone in the family! The Doctor was so impressed that she could identify and say the word hippo that she gave Kennedy one to take home...which she now has to have with her at all times (including those dang cats of hers, lol) Kendal is not going to believe his eyes when he see's how grown up she has become in the past 5 months! Because I can't even believe it and I'm with her 24 hours a day!!! I'll be sure to post pics of Kendal's homecoming as soon as I have time...Until then, hope you are all staying warm! Love you all!

Where she spends A LOT of time!

Chatting with Daddy

Last Thurdsday night was the biggest game of the season for our boys! They have only won one other game all season long and a lot of fans have been losing faith! Dad and I bundled up in freezing rain and 40mph winds and headed down to the stadium to watch what Browns fans call "our super bowl" The Browns vs The Steeelers and guess what!!! For the first time in 5 years we beat those stinkin squeelers! BEST NIGHT EVER!!!! So much fun and so worth freezing for!!All has been forgiven and all of our faith has been restored! GO BROWNS!

Every year, for as long as I can remember my parents would give each of us a new ornament to hang on the tree. Of course Kennedy is included in their little traditon! She gets a different snowman every year. This year he looked like "candy" She loves marshmallows and calls them Candy!!!!
