Nikolai

Nikolai wanted a driver's license when MaryKate made hers. They both wanted their pictures taken in front of different cars so that it looked like they were grown up with their own vehicles and their drivers licenses.

I love this series of photos and how it shows how close this brother and baby sister are...
Tired and Cuddly...
Big Yawn...
Fast Asleep in her brothers arms :).
Nikolai invented this game while Ethan and Avery were staying with us. Using the Battleship game they stacked the white and red pegs together as long as they could... all the way down the hall! Nikolai is going into 4th grade this fall. He has the opportunity to be part of a self-contained ELP class. We decided it was the best thing for him because it will accommodate his particular style of learning even though it will be an inconvenience to drive him 5 miles each way to a new school this fall. I am hoping there will be at least one more family from our neighborhood making the trip that will want to carpool with us. He has been learning how to type this summer and is a great play-mate for Sara.

Nikolai, you always have such cool inventions and ideas! And you must be the best, most loving brother in the world! You and Sara both look so peaceful! Love, from Grandma Diane
