Too Sweet Not To Share

Tonight we (Ted and I) got home from a church meeting and there was a leak in our kitchen ceiling (that's not the sweet part). There had been a toilet that overflowed upstairs while we were gone and it was leaking through. We have had trouble with this toilet since we moved in. HOPEFULLY it will be fixed under our 1 year warranty with our builder. It's not a big deal in the grand scheme of life.

We had to call our friend Bruce because we weren't sure if it was a pipe that was leaking or if it was from the overflow. Bruce is our handy friend who pretty much knows how to fix anything! (A HUGE THANK YOU to Bruce and to Christy who gave up having her husband home so he could come help us).
Ted was having to go under the house to turn the water off and I was trying to assess the leak and clean up some in the kitchen.

We were about to put the kids to bed when the realized there was a leak.
So I told Avery she had to step-up and lead the bed time routine in our absence. I asked her to read to her brother and sister and if Aidan needed her to, hold his hand. Ted holds his hand at night after he reads to them. Aidan always falls asleep holding Ted's hand.
So after the leak assessment was all done (which took about an hour total), we went in to check on the kids (who we knew had fallen asleep because they were so quiet) and this is what we saw.

Avery and Aidan are holding hands. HOW PRECIOUS?!

The funny thing is that we have 4 beds (2 sets of bunk beds) and Aidan and Addie sleep on the floor every night. Abel has started sleeping in Aidan and his room on the bottom bunk and Aidan can join him on the top bunk but he is so use to the night time routine that he hasn't want to make that transition yet. AND Addie just wants to do what her big brother is doing so she sleeps on the floor as well.
Ted reads with them at night and says prayers and then stays in their with them until they fall asleep. Tonight, they stuck together in his absence. HOW SWEET IS THAT?
So proud of you Avery Rene'.
