The Fireworks
Helen is getting so tall and just loves to play with the big girls.

Siriana and Helen had an eventful Sunday September 7th. Our neighbor Ben and Melissa had a joint birthday celebration with an abundance of food and great friends. The weather was a bit rainy and windy, but we all enjoyed ourselves despite the chill. There were an abundance of children so Siriana was running all around the house but did take a little break to hide with her friend Juliana and read books together. Helen's favorite activity was to crawl outside. She loves being outside and really gets a temper when we keep her in and block the door. In fact, she will crawl outside, down the front step which is about a foot and a half high, across the yard to the swing set (about 25 yards) and up the slide! It is amazing to watch her engage these adventures without hesitation or fear. Yes, she's a Simonsen. We had a wonderful birthday celebration and give thanks to all of the great people that we have met here.
