Where have we been???




Things have been so busy at the Simmons household. Jerrold is in the middle of a new drug launch that is taking up a lot of his time, and I have been over my head with launching the Awana ministry at church. We are looking forward to a beach trip in October!

These little monkeys are still keeping us as busy as ever! We both agree that they are at a very tough stage right now, the 13 months between them is very evident. We have a very inquisitive, independent 2 1/2 year old, along with a very stubborn, wild, 1 1/2 year old that is also a true blue Mama's boy. We are daily overwhelmed, but still insist that we are very blessed!

Eli is talking a lot and asking many questions. He asks his Daddy every morning where he will be driving that day. He is so, so good with Knox. If Knox is upset, Eli takes extra care to sweet-talk him and try to soothe him. Knox is very lucky to have such a great big brother! Eli began potty training at the end of July and is doing great with this milestone! We are so proud of his big boy skills!

Knox is really coming into his own personality. He nods his head emphatically for yes or no. He has a definite opinion about all things. He, too, is talking a lot. He is much "wilder" than Eli ever dreamed of being at Knox's age. Wow-they are very different children!
