A cold, pneumonia, a spelling bee, talent show, and a magazine article

What do all of these things have in common? Nothing really. These are things that have been keeping us very busy this last week. Jack had his second cold in five weeks. Brooklin was diagnosed with a wedge shaped bit of pneumonia in her left lung (second time in nine months), Hannah won first place in the spelling bee, she won second place in a church talent show, Brooklin participated in it and did wonderful, and Hannah had an article published in a children's magazine. So there. We have been so busy and we are so proud of the girls for their recent accomplishments. Jack is better and Brooklin is on the road to recovery. God is faithful!
