Okay. I am still loving the whole blog concept. Did not forget I had one. You probably did however :) I needed a little break. I have been overwhelmed lately and just frankly when I have had the time, didn't feel up to it. Colton (who is now five months already!) had pneumonia and was in the hospital just short of a week. He was a pretty sick little man. We are doing the breathing treatments/regimen from home now and it feels great to be home. Boy, I sure wished I had a laptop when I was in the hospital. I could even have worked from there. It was quite different this hospital trip, having three kids at home and life just went on. I forgot things, missed things and really had no structure for a week. My kids and husband did great and a BIG thank you to our family who helped us out! I don't know what we would have done without your help. Dusty started back to work on Monday and Wednesday was when Colton was admitted. So I was on an emotional overload :) I am not writing this for sympathy, but to document my feelings. So please bare with me. While in the hospital I missed Sydney's first soccer game too (we also were signed up for snacks after the game). So I felt completely helpless. Thanks Dusty for taking care of everything while I was "away" :) He really did a great job trying to meet everyones needs. I have a lot to share but also have a ton of typing (work) to do. So tomorrow, Monday one of my least favorite days, I will post a monster long post of all the things going on in the Brownell household. I will leave you with a picture of my calendar and notice week three which was the week we were in the hospital was the busiest. Go figure :) Not the greatest pic, but you get the point.
We were praying for you and don't feel bad about saying that it was a hard time for you guys. Seriously, that's what you need to do. So people can come alongside and help and pray. :) Glad you're coming back though!

Sara, I've missed you in the blogging world. I know your life is so crazy right now. I can't believe how full your calendar is. I don't know how you do it all. I know this past month or so has been really hard for you. I am always praying for you and your family. Just hang in there. I love you! Thanks for sharing your heart with us.
