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...

November in Pictures

Erik and I helped host a popcorn bar and talent show at church.  It was super fun!

I started running at the gym again.  Only made it a few days, but it was a start.

Skogen reading to his little brother



Love these snuggly boys just out of bed!

Whenever we have a babysitter over bedtime, Torsten insists on going to sleep with Maida.  It is so sweet.

We forgot to take a picture on our date night and this is all Erik would give me when we got home.  Silly guy!

Pizza and movie night!


On Sunday mornings I teach the 3-5 year old boys.  We have been learning about the armor of God.  This is my class in their helmets of salvation.

Erik took this picture at work one morning of the Mayo helicoptor.

Second snow!  First snow that actually accumulated to anything.

Snow ice cream!!!!

Torsten approved!


Barkley! wanted to be out playing with the boys.

Skogen thought it would be really neat to put on 20 shirts at one time.  It was fun until he started getting super hot and then we couldn't get them off quick enough and he panicked.  I don't think he'll ever try that again.

Klaasen thoroughly enjoyed our Costco run.

Went to visit Daddy at work so that Torsten could get his ear checked.

Tried to take a picture before church.  This is the best we got.


Torsten's first time going potty in the pot!

Tuckered out Torsten

Best friends

Milk and cookie date at McDonalds with Klaasen Burke

The boys told me they were, "going to Grandma's" in this tub and it would take them "several hours to get there."



T's first time playing with playdoh

Torsten was playing with his brothers, fell off the bed, and bonked his head.  :(

A few of my Bible class boys waiting for the other classes at Pew Packers on a Sunday morning.

Stud Muffin

Afternoon coffee with a sleeping husband.  Just thankful to have him home instead of at the hospital.
Helping Daddy get the skies ready for the season!

While preparing the house for Thanksgiving guests, I discovered a new homemade grout cleaner that works SO WELL!  Grout color before on the bottom of the picture and grout color after on the top of the picture.

Another beautiful November sunset

Amazing.
