More changes in the Scherck family

Guess what everyone, we have moved again! Not too far just into another house. We had one set of house parents quit and so our bosses asked us to take the house with 10 girls. It is a bigger house and we are quite enjoying the experience of having 10 girls. They are great and are all very helpful with cooking, cleaning and helping with the babies. Last week was Spring Break and we had a great time going to Gatlinburg and Dollywood. I rode all the roller coasters with them and had a blast. We are loving this new life and really feel we are making a difference in their lives.

More Pictures

Hello all! I found a cool way to put more pictures on here. Thanks to my friend Carrie M. for the idea. :) I hope you enjoy these slide shows. I love watching them and making them. If the slide shows stop, just click refresh on your address bar and they will start again. :)

Birthday Pictures

The big day! Our precious babies entered the world on the evening of February 6, 2008 at 8:47pm. What a glorious day. We will treasure these wonderful memories forever.

Beautiful Babies

Our little cabin

Here is our cute little cabin we are living in now. It is really cute inside too. The walls are all wood and the floors too. We are in the top and our school girls have their own bedroom, living room and bath downstairs. They come upstairs for meals and family time. It is really nice. The stream in front is beautiful. We also have a little pond with fish in it. The girls actually caught two catfish the other day.

Alyssa (Sweet Pea)

Here are some pictures of Alyssa. She is our snuggling sweet pea. Gidget loves to snuggle up next to the girls too.

Hannah's First smile

Wow! Hannah has really started to look right in our eyes and smile at us. This is a little smile. Sometimes she gives us a great big one. Alyssa is smiling too, but I have not been able to catch her with the camera yet. She is not as laid back and easy to photograph like Hannah. If I lay Alyssa down to take her picture, she usually starts crying. :) I will keep trying. I love to take pictures of them. Everyday they look a little different or make a new adorable face I want to capture and remember forever.

Pictures of the girls together

It is so tough to get a good picture of them both together. One is usually awake and quiet and the other is crying. Here are some attempts. I think they are still beautiful even if they are crying. :)

Sleeping Princesses

Hanging out in the Boppy

The girls both love to hang out in the Boppy during the day. We only have one so they have to take turns. Usually I have one in the Boppy and I carry one in the Snuggli (like a baby backpack). I love watching them. There are so many cute faces they make when awake and asleep. (Alyssa covered with blanket, Hannah is the cutie on duty)

My new life as Mommy

I am loving it!! It is the best thing in the world, to be a full time wife and mother. I am so grateful for this blessing in our lives. Even though they keep us very busy, I would not trade it for anything.

Alyssa loves Daddy

Alyssa, we have discovered is a "high needs" baby. She needs to be held, she needs to be worn in the Snuggli, she needs to be feed by Daddy. She is a fussy eater and cries and thrashes around a lot when she eats. We thought it was an allergy to the formula. We tried several different formulas until we finally realized it didn't matter what she eats as much as how she eats. She has a specific routine of eating, burping and snuggling that she likes. Daddy figured it out first (probably because he is high needs too.) :)
