Yes, We Are Still Alive!!

Where to start……………? Well this summer has been a busy season for us. I mean busy busy. Kennedy and Parker started school this summer together. They are going to a preschool program 2 days a week for only 2 hours and 15 minutes, but they love it. I was a little worried that Parker would have a hard time but he LOVES school. Every time I pick him up from school he is so eager to show me what he made and explain in his little precious mumble jumble language. I have no idea what he is saying by the way, but I catch a few things here and there. It was originally going to be just a summer thing, but they love it so much we enrolled them for the school year. School is about the only time I get anything done these days, so it’s as much for me as it is for them. I love school!! I have to say I love this age too. The last two years have been really hard for us physically and mentally. Don’t get me wrong, we enjoyed every minute and wouldn’t trade them for the world. I just feel like we are currently at a really special age that Jeremy and I can fully appreciate. Kennedy is growing into such a sweetheart. She constantly looks after her little brother. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t talk much because she makes sure he has everything he needs. They have a very special bond that Jeremy and I could have never imagined. They spend nearly every second side by side. Parker follows her everywhere!! I’ve even watched them at school during recess (yes like a creepy stalker) and he is always by her side and she never leaves him out. Jeremy and Kennedy have had many special moments lately too. He reads to her every night out of her bible and tucks her in. Lately she has been reciting the bible to him by memory!! She is so smart, sometimes even too smart!!! Parker is all boy!! He loves anything with wheels and anything that rolls. They spend most of their time playing in the sand box, riding bikes, playing on the play set, and running around with the kids on our street. He usually holds his own with the older kids. The summer here has been GEORGOUS weather. We have enjoyed every ounce of it!! Now that the weather is changing we are settling back into a routine and getting ready for winter….. BOO!! Jeremy was accepted into Purdue and Indiana in a dual Masters Program and starts in September!!! We are so proud of you honey!!! I am also going to school, so the Unruh house will continue to be a busy one for quite some time. Anyway, I just wanted to say that we are doing well and that we miss everyone down south (Nearly everyone is south of us)!!! I’ll leave you with some recent pictures of the kiddos.
