Our Nikolai

Nikolai loves playing Star Wars on our Wii. He really doesn't get many chances to (maybe once a week if he's lucky). Sara just has to do whatever he is doing (she is enamored by him) so she got her own controller, climbed up next to him and "played" the game with him for quite a while. He is such a sweet brother because he not only tolerates her but encourages her to join with him.
(Another MaryKate photo) Another love of Nikolai's is the Heroscape game that Santa brought him last Christmas. He'll spend as much time as I'll let him down in the basement setting up and rearranging and playing this kid-friendly Dungeons and Dragons related game.
Nikolai was so excited about starting orchestra now that he is in the 4th grade. He picked the cello to play and loves his twice a week class and loves coming home to demonstrate all of the knowledge he has acquired.

Good for you, Nikolai! You look like a natural with that cello. What a great blessing you are to your littlest sister! Love, Grandma Diane
