After some advice about introducing me to my new girlfriends two children, as the relationship has taken off between us and it's no longer a weekend hookup kinda thing.

Help please!

TL; DR at end

I've met a girl, we are mad about each other in the most amazing way. She's everything I thought I wanted and so much more, the best thing is that feeling is reciprocated. There is one hurdle currently. She has two absolutely gorgeous kids, 4 and 7, so we spend time together on weekends or nights she doesn't have her kids, which is great for obvious reasons. This has been going on for some time now and I can confidently say it's not just a weekend hookup anymore. We have spent some time talking about introducing me to her kids in a way that's gentle and non threatening. I have met both of them briefly and she's always telling me about them. One of the things in life I've wanted over everything else is to have a family and I am so excited about the potential to build one together, for various reasons she cannot have another child and I believe I cannot myself either. So the real question/concern I have is I want to do this right. To he a good figure for her children to look up to and accept into their family.

If anyone can make sense of my rambling, have any of you been in a situation like this and can you give me any advice on what to and not to do? Maybe some useful information I can pass on to my lady for her benefit as well?

Thank you in advance.

TL;DR - new amazing girlfriend has two kids, I/we are after advice on introducing me to them in a favourable way.
