Curly-Q's on your Heart Strings

Fresh Pictures of Nikolai here, he is growing and changing so fast it is unbelieveable. He is so ready to be like his big brothers and run and roll all over the floor.

Niki is so sweet that we just want to eat him up.

Look at this little boy, he can sit all on his own! I was letting him pretend to drink from my cup this evening at dinner and we heard a "clink, clink, clink"--A tooth! There is a little bottom tooth starting to pop out!

The boys finished their summer reading program...the 6th one for Alyosha and the 1st one for Niki--Of course it is the 3rd for Luka. They have each of their shirts from the previous years and are very proud of their reading, um, listening to me and Roma reading, skills. I told Alyosha that if he wants to earn his shirt next year, he must read the books himself by next summer!!

Niki gets to hang out with the bears at CHAP while we are doing our work.
