Swimming

It's been so warm here is Gainesville that Max has been swimming outside.

Anything to do with water and Max is happy.

Driving dangerously

Philip left for school this morning only to return home minutes later becuase he said his car was driving funny. Well, this is what his tire looked like. It was totally shredded. Thankfully he was ok and no one was hurt. A short call to AAA quickly fixed the problem. The scary thing is that he felt like something was wrong with his car for a couple days, we just couldn't see the problem yet. Greatefully, Heavenly father looks out for our famly daily.

Surfs up

I tried to get a video of Max giving his opinion, but I could only get a picture. He's quite the talker these days. He mostly says "dadadadada" and "Nananana". He's learning more everyday.

Bath Time

Max loves to take baths. He eats his dinner in the bath tub and cries when its time to get out.

He's our little Nemo.

Spring Break

My first time climbing the stairs

Playing in the play room

My new favorite toy, I take it with me everywhere.

In the playroom, my new favorite place to be!

Princess Ahmari, she shared all her toys with me. Thanks for playing with me so nicely!


The sun was too bright for those of us with sensitive eyes. The beach is a white sand beach so it was even more bright and beautiful! It wouldn't be a spring break unless we went to the beach in Florida.



Can I drive dad?

Max is ready for a front facing car seat. He prefers to see what's going on at all times. Don't worry though, the car was parked!


Philip had his spring break this month from school. We went to Sarasota to visit Mom and Dad Scherer and Ahmari. We had so much fun, we went to the beach, to the Sarasota Opera to see 'La Rodine', we went to the moivies and as usual we ate beautifully prepared meals every day. Vacation isn't really a vacation without great food that we didn't have to prepare! During the weekend Kurt, Allison and Isabella came and visited too. It was so much fun to see family and to have a relaxing and wonderful spring break.

Happy Birthday Grandma Lake

We celebrated march Birthdays while my mom was here.
Philip and I bought her a cook book that we have. She calls quite often from California to get a recipe from the book, so we decided that she could use one of her own. Thanks for visiting and helping us we love having you visit, Mom!

Where did February go?

Well, another month has flown by and I'm trying to figure out where the time went! I guess this is where it went...

First Max learned to crawl
Then he learned that he can pull himself up to stand
After which, he learned that he can walk along anything that he can hold onto

So bascially the whole month was spent baby proofing the house, and following Max around so that he wouldn't get hurt - 'hurt' being the subjective word. Really I don't know how little kids survive the toddler stage. He has had more then his share of bruises and crash landings.

Thankfully Grandma Lake came and is endless entertainment for Max.

Philip made it through another month of tests, exams, lectures, and even the occasional night in the ER with his wife. If we go a whole month without needing a doctor's visit, it's been a miraculous month. Nobody needs a doctor more then the Philip Scherer Family. We can't wait for Philip to be done with school in anywhere from 5 - 8 years! We love you, Philip, keep up the good work! Dinners ready when you get home....

Fungus Ball - we missed the memo

Yes, that is the official name for the event put on by the Pathology department. I effectionately call it - the 'Scum Ball'. Luckily, Philip was my date and he's like a fabulous purse. Just like in Hollywood you can be wearing the ugliest outfit, but if your purse is marvelous, then who cares that you look like you just jumped out of bed, right? Everyone will just focus on the purse, and everyone loves Philip so they always focus on him. Thank goodness.

So this is how it went. First, Philip wanted to wear a tux and I talked him out of it since I felt that he only needed to wear a suit- bad idea. We showed up at the event and I think, really, it was more like a mini-oscar event. One of the attendees was actually wearing a gown that I thought one of my Barbies used to wear. Actually, with the amount of fabric the dress had it, could have been the same exact dress! Who knows this is Gainesville. So, not only are we underdressed, but because I have no flesh showing I am drawing even more attention. Then on top of all this uncomfortableness, I had a really bad stomach bug. (later I realize the bug was a blessing- I got to leave early) So needless to say I had to leave Philip at the event and go home to use the facilities and once again, Philip doesn't even need a date he can be a one man show. Sorry I had to leave early sweetie, at least, I'm sorry I had to leave you by yourself.

Philip and I had the Luxury of going on four dates without Max this month. (I am including the ER visit I had, as a date, since we were together without Max. Granted, we spent 6 hours in the waiting room of the hospital, but hey don't we all wish we could spend good quailty time with sick people in Florida?) Thank you to all our many babsitters who helped in this! Aunt Allison, Uncle Kurt, Aunt Ingrid and Grandma Lake, we love you!

Nap Time

Max fell alseep in the middle of his toys one day all by himself

Good job Max! Now if you could just sleep longer then 30 minutes.

Yeah, I'm The Wanderer

In the Kitchen



In the Play room



Helping Dad at the Piano



Talking to the kids on the TV

I roam around, around, around...

Max is always smiling, where ever he goes!

Max and Cousin Andrew

Max went to play with his cousins Isabella, Andrew, and Tommy. He has so much fun with them. Max likes to talk to the pictures of his cousins on the fridge.

Maestro Maximus

Max loves to play the piano.

He's been teaching Philip to play. We call it the fortissimo method....

Max, when you're 3 your Dad can start teaching you to play! Are you ready, Dad, with all that extra time you have?
