I do remember once when Carrie went running off in the woods after some imagin-
ary friend, Elissa.  I don't recall if it was Pa or 1/2-pint that found her.  
Regarding Albert, he was taken back with the Ingalls to Walnut Grove after 
there brief stay in North Dakota (I forget the name of the city).  The farmers
in and around Walnut Grove were unable to sell their crops for a decent price
and were forced out of business more or less.  The Garveys, Olsens, and Ingalls
all ended up in some town in North Dakota where Mary and Adam were running a
blind school.  Albert was a homeless kid there and the Ingalls befriended him
and took him back to W.G. with them.  Anyway, this was before Cassandra and
James (wasn't James played by that Justine Bateman's brother?) because only
Laura, Carrie, (Mary), Pa, and Ma went to NDak.  So, I believe that the order
of the kids was:

Mary, Laura, Carrie, Charles Jr. (died shortly after birth), Albert (adopted),
James and Cassandra (adopted).
