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...

In Good Hands

Whenever Erik is gone during bedtime, and I have to get the three kids to sleep by myself, I usually leave Klaasen in Maida's room with her while I put Skogen to sleep. She "babysits" Klaasen and it makes her feel really special. Klaasen seems to enjoy it, as well, because he rarely cries or gets upset when he's hanging out with his big sister.

Last week while putting the kids to bed one night, I had just come out of Skogen's room, and opened the door to Maida's room to see what her and Klaasen were up to. Upon opening the door, I found this:
Discovering that I had left Klaasen in the hands of a doctor, I was fairly confident that he was well taken care of while I was putting Skogen to sleep. :)
And with a stethoscope that really works, Maida's been practicing up on her doctoring skills because someday she wants to be a doctor, "just like Daddy."
