WOW...where does the time go? Summer was awesome, but as always, it seems as if it flew by. I apologize in being so tardy in catching up here. Seems as my opportunities for speaking engagements, and/or the kids sharing increase it is harder and harder to keep up here.
A quick overview of our summer at the Litzke clan: We had the privilege to go to my home town and see my family and spend a few days with them. The kids sang at the church where I grew up and I led worship. It was wonderful and most of all, I loved watching everyone getting acquainted with all the kids.

Two of my girls and I went to MS on a missions trip. We were thrilled at the chance to be His hands and feet and serve in the love of Jesus. We met the nicest people who now we call our friends. Kendal saw the ocean for the first time (at least in America) and gained a few pets for the week...hermit crabs and a stick bug. We had the most fun watching her with those.
We attended a family church camp in a beautiful setting and had a wonderful time enjoying nature, family and fellowship with our "extended family"...brothers and sisters in Christ. It was indeed a blessed time together.
The kids, of course, enjoyed the usual summer pass times: swimming, outdoors, squirt guns, slip & slides; lightening bugs and watermelon--ok well, spitting the seeds was the best to them. :-)

Morgan won a few awards at her horse show. Chase triumphed in travel soccer. Jami, once again did very well in softball. Bryce mastered the bike--stunts and all..HELP! Molly is enjoying Girl Scouts and Kendal now has 3 musical movies memorized..I think I even have Camp Rock memorized at this point. LOL As for the younger ones...Devon is getting stronger every day and more independent. Climbing stairs and up on furniture now. You GO BOY! Sophie is quite the singer and dancer these days. She and Joy are best buds--but lets never forget Joy IS the BOSS. Paige is little Miss but with TONS of spunk!
So school is in session full swing and everyone is doing great! Bryce is in FIRST grade! So hard to believe. He complains every day that "my teacher just won't give me any more homework." HAHA Molly and Chase are in 3rd grade and loving every minute of it thus far. And I have two in middle school, one in high school. YIKES! 3 of the 4 younger ones are all special needs so they attend a preschool through our local MRDD program and are they are growing leaps and bounds.
Thank you all for your constant prayers and support. Life is full, but overflowing with blessings each and every day. I included just a few random photos.
God bless and keep you all as you endeavor to serve-
Mandy
