Lizzie is allergic to penicillin!

This is after taking Augmentin.

This is after taking Septra.

Lizzie had a horrible stye under her left eye. They prescribed Augementin for it and after 3 1/2 days of treatment, she broke out in a horrible rash! The next day they changed it to Septra and she broke out again. They decided not to try another medication and see if the stye would clear up from now on its own.

A Blessed Mother's Day

I had the loveliest Mother's Day! Ken is so amazing. He cooked breakfast & cleaned it up. Then we went to church. When we got home he cooked a fabulous dinner, served it on the china (which meant hand washing), cleaned it up, and then made dessert, and cleaned up again. The kitchen was spic and span! I loved the sweet gifts the girls made for me and the cherished feeling all the loving service gave me. I am grateful to be loved and appreciated. Every mother deserves to be treated as well as I was. Luckily, Ken's mom is also in town here with us, and she enjoyed the special treatment, too. Dad Beckert is a little overwhelmed at the precedent Ken has set, now that Mom Beckert has been spoiled for Mother's Day. Good luck topping Ken's feat, Dad B!

The Girls in their Easter dresses--a week late :-)

We managed to get the girls into their Easter dresses and snap a few pictures before church yesterday. Kylie picked out these Easter outfits last year right after Easter on clearance. Lizzie would only put hers on for the pictures with the promise that she could change before church. So, it may be that her dress is only worn by her for all of 5 minutes! Kids!!!???!! They looked sweet, anyway.

Lizzie's Preschool Trip to Fred Meyer

Lizzie went with her 9 schoolmates from Mrs. Patricia's preschool to visit our local Fred Meyer. They enjoyed looking at the flowers & plants, having a picture taken & printed at the photo counter, enjoyed a chocolate frappacino (spelling?) at the Starbuck's, some cheese at the Deli counter, a cookie and tour of the bakery and looking at the seafood & vegetables. A good time was had by all.

Springtime Fun at the Wolfe's

We love the fun springtime traditions of coloring easter eggs, decorating cakes, and hunting for eggs. Here are a few pictures of our fun Friday evening and Saturday morning. As always, Daddy keeps us all laughing! Unfortunately, Kylie & Lizzie woke up Sunday morning with a cold, so we are waiting til next Sunday to get all dressed up in their new Easter clothes. We had a lovely Easter Sunday, with a wonderful church experience and the blessing of very dear friends joining us in our home for dinner.

Kylie sprained her knee last Tuesday and has spent the week on crutches. She is improving and we hope her crutches will soon be able to be returned.

I especially felt gratitude to our Heavenly Father yesterday, as I reflected on His love for me in sending Jesus Christ to atone for my sins. What joy I feel as I reflect on Jesus Christ's life and His grace which will allow me to keep His commandment to "be perfect". He is what will finish my faith and make me become fit to dwell in the presence of God the Father, and His Son. It makes me want to shout for joy! :-)

Ashley's performance in the 1st-3rd grade school music program

Ashley was picked to play one of 8 "fish kids" in

the school music program "It Sounds a Little Fishy to Me". She was named Bonnie. She remembered all of her lines and really memorized them on her own--we only read through it once with her at home. She enjoyed the spotlight and singing--two of her favorite things. :-)

Pictures from our trip to SLC last month

I am late getting these posted--we only snapped a few photos while we were in Salt Lake last month. Enjoy!
