The Bartlett family has grown by three in the past five years. Verity Hazel, or Rita, was born on January 8, 1907. Elijah Silas, or Lijah, was born April 18, 1909. Ezekiel Stephen, or Zeke, is the baby. He was born on September 12, 1910. ---Jack's medical practice is thriving. The Bartlett family has now moved to a larger town about forty-five miles away from their previous home. Jack sees many patients each day and is well respected in town. He has recently hired on a medical assistant named Jacob, who is 15 and wishes to become a physician.
---Mary enjoys taking care of her family, as always. She is working on cultivating a garden in the backyard, and it is doing well. She has started a quilting circle with some of the other women around town; however, their activities range from baking pies to canning to just going out for picnics with their families.
---Jonny, who is now 10, loves to play with his friends. He hangs out with a group of four other boys in town who are his age. They love to go fishing and riding and adventuring. Jonny still does well in school and is quite smart. He is above most of his peers in nearly every area. He still wishes to become a doctor.
---Matt, 9, is still the sweet shy one. He doesn't talk too much, but is friends with the two children next door (who are 8 and 9). Matt sometimes tags along with Jonny and his friends, but he would rather be down in the barn with the animals or out taking a walk. He also enjoys woodworking and reading. He has recently become interested in sailing.
---Lily, 7, is a rambunctious little girl who can be either quite charming or quite annoying. She is still a bit of a tomboy, but has found a best friend in Emma, one of the girls who lives in town. Lily doesn't like school and would rather be outside playing. She likes cooking, however, and is skilled in the culinary arts, for a seven year old.
---Rube, 6, is a mellow little boy who doesn't really care what goes on around him as long as his needs are taken care of. He loves to eat and helps Mary in the kitchen whenever he gets a chance. Rube loves school and is very popular among the children because he always has something nice to say to them. He is very much attatched to both Jack and Mary.
---Lizzy, 5, is a darling little girl who has become quite a princess. She is cute, even for a child, and is praised for her beauty by many. She has not become vain, yet--but there is still time. She is looking forward to going to school next year and has declared that she wants to be a schoolteacher.
---Rita, 3, is a bundle of energy. She loves to run around all the time and is especially fond of the chickens that Mary raises for their eggs. Rita is quite agile and can get out of just about any restraint if she tries hard enough. Rita is a good child, though, and does not like to be disciplined.
---Lijah, 1, is walking all over the house already. He enjoys following his older siblings around and is kind of a mixture of everyone's personality. He likes the dogs and includes them in the family.
---Zeke, the baby, has not had much time to express his personality. He is only a few days old and the family is still getting used to having another little one around. Zeke, Mary has noticed, sleeps more and eats less than any of the other children. She is a little worried about him, but Jack says not to worry.
