Welcome to the Scharrer family's real life story! Most of our story is written for, and about, our four kids and the spice they add to our lives. It's our story of happiness, craziness, and sometimes ridiculousness. We've journaled through childbirth, the terrible two's, private school (and our public school experience), an autism diagnosis, medical school, residency, and long-term mission work in Africa.

Now we're following a new adventure, which involves a 45 foot motorcoach, homeschool, and as many ski slopes as we can go down in one year.

For posts from while we were living in Zimbabwe and updates about our future plans in Zimbabwe, please see our mission blog...

Weekend Highlights + a Public Letter

first house inspection
We had our first house inspection on Friday afternoon. It was a blast to see the house again. Erik and I get so caught up in our dreams of what we want to make this house into, that we forget that it isn't quite ours yet. There is so much paperwork to be done! We continue to pray that we will be blessed with this house and we will keep you updated as things progress.
skogen in his "hot tub"
He loves to kick back and relax in the dish washing pan! It's so funny how he'll put his feet up. If I move them down into the water, he puts them right back up there! What a silly boy!
Notice how good his cheeks look? I did some research in one of Erik's books ("Clinical Dermatology") for school and came up with my own little treatment plan. I mixed hydrocortisone cream with some vanicream and applied it twice yesterday. After the first application, he already looked a TON better. This morning when he woke up, I hardly recognized him without the flaming-red and bumpy cheeks! He looks like a whole new baby. I just hope this continues to work!
maida singing her ABC's and Jesus Loves Me
Maida has started to sing us real songs now. For about two months she has been able to sing tunes, but the words weren't there. Now she's put the words with the tunes. I tried to get her to sing for the camera last night, but she gets so silly when the camera is on her. She is also very easily distracted and has to remember to focus on what she's doing!
to the person got into erik's car and went through the glove box:
I have been praying for you. I have no idea what compels a person to do something like that. I can't imagine what you found in that glove box besides some sunflower seeds and maybe a tube of chapstick, but what you really need to find is Jesus, and I'm not sure you'll find Him by going through cars that aren't yours, in the middle of the night. I will continue to pray for you. Oh, and just so you know - don't try to break into my house. Barkley! will make you regret it.
