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...

June Oklahoma Trip 2009

I had good intentions of quickly posting our pictures from the trip, but Skogen got sick, so my time was spent with him. The pictures are up now, though! You can view them here: http://www.scharrerfamily.shutterfly.com/. Warning: there are a lot of them!


About our trip: We took a quick trip to Oklahoma to surprise Erik's brother and his wife, Karlie, at their house warming party. We also surprised Erik's grandma (Mema) and grandpa (Deda), his Aunt Lola, Uncle Ron, and their sons Jacob and Alex. We got to stay with Erik's mom (Nana) and dad (Papa) while we were there and spent some good quality time with them. On the way down we stayed with my cousin, Jared, and his wife, Des, and daughter, Coco. We also were able to stop and see my college roommate and really good friend, Aubrey, and her little girl. On the way home we saw my cousin, Melody and her daughter, Jaylen. We then stayed the night with my Aunt Becky, Uncle Steve, and cousin Myra.


On our trip Maida and Skogen had many firsts. Maida had her first ice cream sandwich, her first push-up, ate at Braum's and Sonic for the first time, and swam in her first little swimming pool. This was Skogen's first time out of the state of Minnesota, his first time seeing Erik's side of the family, and some of my family, too!


While we were traveling down to Oklahoma, Maida turned 25 months old. I didn't have the internet to post a 25 month post, so here's a picture of her on her 25 month birthday.
