News from the Pillaging Pearces

Tyler just pulled his way through a wretched month of internal medicine. Internal medicine doctors are the ones who spend miserably long hours at the hospital pulling their hair out trying to diagnose the sickness and writing neverending pages of notes on patients who are stuck at the hospital for months waiting for a cure that doesn't exist! Tyler was either at the hospital or home asleep this past month. We are officially a part-active family, as Tyler hasn't been to church in over a month. Fortunately the light has come, the rotation ended today, and we get to say Hallelujah that Tyler chose to do Emergency Medicine, not Internal Medicine as his career. The good thing about this rotation was that he was too busy to eat, and so at the end of the month he still had $80 on his meal card (it's dining plus all over again). We feasted like Kings and Queens at Wishard Hospital... Chicken Fingers, mashed potatoes, Fat greasy old French Fries and all the Icecream sundaes we could ever want!Since I just can't get rid of my sweet tooth, I decided I better hit the gym with a bang. I volunteer there two hours a week at the KidsZone which gets me a free membership. I've been following the good old "Body for Life" weight lifting schedule and after just a month of working out, I won my first weightlifting championship as you can see below. The Chinese recruiters were particularly impressed with my physique. When I'm not trying to keep the house clean, feeding the kids, or winning weightlifting championships, I can often be found snuggled up with a good book. The stack of books by my bed keeps growing, so I just keep reading!
Mikaela seems to have a thing for fancy dresses sewed by Grandma Polly. Somehow she decided that the Kacher family Bumblebee halloween costume made her look more like a beatiful princesses than any of her other princess dresses. She's been wearing this around for a week now and even insisted on wearing it to preschool!

Kacher really is just adorable, that's all I can say about him. Here he is talking to Grandma Polly and Nellie on the phone, well he's listening to them and grinning away. It was really cute.
Suddenly Kacher started screaming and refusing to eat whenever we'd put him in his highchair. Finally we figured out that he was just feeling big time excluded, as soon as we put him at the table with the rest of us he settled down and ate his food like a perfect little boy. I guess he'll be ready to pass the highchair on to Cousin Riley at our May get together.
Even when he finishes his meal, he keeps himself occupied.

Pearce's Political advise for those Super Tuesday Voters: Although we feel utmost loyalty to the beautiful Arizona, we will not be supporting the native Arizonan candidate, John McCain. Vote Romney (according to Tyler) (the rest of the house doesn't have much opinion on the matter).

Zach's Mission: INDIA, pronounced with a lovely EEENdian accent!
