My Angels

MaryKate and Nikolai are hopelessly devoted to Sara. And I am hopelessly devoted to the three of them. Nikolai had to bring in one of his "treasures" to share with his class to help them get to know each other. He wanted to bring in his baby but settled for a picture of her instead. He proudly told them that the first time she laughed out loud was at him. He hasn't stopped, since that first giggle, to get her laughing at every opportunity he can get. While Nikolai takes care of Sara's entertainment, MaryKate loves to help with her daily care, bathing, diapering, dressing, feeding. I can always count on her to help me out in a pinch. She is so sweet and gentle with her. She gets frustrated sometimes that she can't help more and has requested that the next baby be twins so that she can take care of one while I take care of the other.
