"I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life;
to put to rout all that was not life and not when I had come to die, discover that I had not lived." ~Henry David Thoreau

Ethan The Hero

This afternoon I was feeling extra grubby, even though I showered at 7:30 this morning. So I decided to rinse off again and I put a movie on for the kids while I took a quick shower. When I was almost all done Ethan came bursting into the bathroom and said "Mom! Mom! Lauren is going to fall!" I was scared and asked him what he was talking about, but het jetted from there and ran back out to the living room.

So I quickly got rinsed off, grabbed a towel, and ran out there too. Ethan was trying his best to carry Lauren in from the back deck. It's very hard for him to do this so it was a big deal. Apparently Hailey had opened the sliding door and wandered outside and Lauren followed. She was just about to fall down the 14 steps when Ethan grabbed her.

It might not seem like a big deal, but it was for a four year old. These girls don't know how lucky they are to have a big brother who looks out for them like this. Ethan loves his sisters so much and I pitty any boy who ever breaks their hearts!

What a sweetie! I can't tell you how many times Samuel has grabbed Rora right before she's gotten to the top of the stairs. I love it when little boys turn into "big" brothers!
