Our Second Road Trip

We just got back from our second road trip to Minneapolis for Pat's final residency interview. This was the longest trip that Caroline has been on and she did very well. We started off on Wednesday night and stayed with Michael and Mary in Chicago for the night. We left on Thursday morning and headed to Minnesota to stay with my grad school friend, Monica, Jeff, and Carina. Thanks for letting us stay with you guys! We had a lot of fun...We were able to check out the city and Caroline had her first trip to the Mall of America. We left MN on Saturday and made the trip back to Chicago and then came home on Sunday. We are glad to be home and also extremely glad that Pat's finished with his interviews. We will have to wait till March 16th to find out where we will be next year...

This was also a big weekend for Caroline... she no longer needs to be swaddled to go to sleep and she is sitting up on her own (for brief periods of time!) She's getting to be such a big girl.

My friend, Carina

Carina, do you have one of these that's always attached to your neck?

Carina and I were playing nicely together

Carina let me play with her baby doll

Uncle Michael, I already know how to eat my foot

No more swaddling for my arms!

I'm sitting up all by myself!!!

I'm trying to feed myself...

Our Roadtrip

We set out on January 6 for a nine day trip to go with Pat on his residency interviews. We started off staying with a cycling buddy of Pat's and his family in Ohio (Thanks Paul and Lisa!). From there, we went to Sandusky, OH to stay with my Aunt and Uncle (Thanks Jim and Carol!). After Sandusky, we went to Kalamazoo, MI to see Aunt Kathleen and Grad school friends of Allie's. (Thanks Jim and Wendy!). After that we headed to Milwaukee, WI and finally to Chicago to stay with Uncle Michael and Aunt Mary (Thanks Michael and Mary!) . Pat interviewed at 4 places this time and only has 2 more to go! He and I will be happy when his interviews are over...

I think Daddy was a little tired at the end of our road trip...

Scherger Family Tradition...


Don't ask me why, but when all of the Scherger kids were growing up, we were all put on top of our Grandma and Grandpa's refrigerator. We are carrying on the tradition...
