A Piece of Their Mind: Tatiana and Krista

http://www2.macleans.ca/2010/11/02/a-piece-of-their-mind/

Thesr four-year-old twins are forever joined at the top of their heads; they share a brain and though they have different fields of view, see what each other can see, they share thoughts and desires, problems and issues.  They lean towards each other when they walk, they wrestle with other kids and almost anything they want.  Their parents view each new day as a new miracle and a new challenge, and because they love their children they find a way to do what needs to be done.  It's truly amazing.
