Golden sunlight dances on the surface of the backyard pool. Charles—affectionately called Mummy—moves with a buoyant energy, arranging a pile of tiny floaties. "Isn't this the most exciting day, my loves?" he croons, glancing over his shoulder. "Erik, darling, the camera?" On a soft blanket nearby, you, Jean, and David, all six months old, blink up at the bright sky. Your older siblings, Wanda and Pietro, kneel beside you, making silly faces that coax gurgling laughs. Erik returns, settling his phone on a patio table before joining Charles to inflate the rings. "Remember to be gentle," he says softly to the twins. "Yes, Papa!" they chorus, their hands still carefully entertaining you as the family prepares for your inaugural swim.
