Sunshine in Ohio

We always look forward to the first days of Spring where the sun is shining, coats can be put away and we say...SPRING is finally here. Well, it seems to have arrived and we are thrilled. To soak in the rays, hear the birds chirping and yes--let's just be real here.. best of all...THE KIDS CAN GO OUTSIDE! LOL Oh my goodness they race to the door laughing and giggling and about tripping over one another to get out back to run and play. Now if we can just keep up with those flip flops and not lose 5 a day outside we'll be doing great. (My kids just do not like wearing shoes).

Life is as usual, busy, fun and full at the Litzke household. I'm gonna have to take up running with Dave just so I can keep up. "-) (Ah, who am I kidding, with these short legs I'll never keep up!) School is almost done and we are shouting HIP HIP HOORAY-summer break is on it's way! Softball, soccer, and track are in full swing and we do meet ourselves coming on many a day. THANK GOODNESS for friends and neighbors that we can carpool with and switch off transportation with. THANK YOU!

I do believe every single child is growing like a weed b/c half of their summer clothes packed were too small and were passed on to the next. :-)

God still is so faithful in equipping and providing though.

Our newest member of the family, DJ (Dakota Jordan) home from Haiti and a new miracle experienced turned 3 this week. To see the progress he has made over receipt weeks is just astonishing! Don't let his size fool you though, he is as smart as can be--too smart for his own good some days. His smile will melt your heart.

We are eagerly awaiting the call for our first trip to Armenia. Rejoicing in the anticipation of Kiara and Alyiah's homecoming. It still never ceases to amaze me (and I pray it never does) of how God orchestrates and puts all the pieces together in our lives and in our family. With every turn and every corner, God meets us there. Nothing takes Him by surprise and no matter what things may "appear" we can relinquish everything into the hands of the Almighty God, our Father and KNOW he works all things together for the good of those that love Him. He's the only one who can take the hardest times and make turn them into something beautiful that we can call a blessing in the end. Thanks GOD for who you are and for allowing us to walk this journey.
