Hanging out with Family....


So, my family made the 12-15 hour trek from Michigan this past week and spent some time with Daniel and I. It was quite an eventful and memorable time for all of us. It was also quite a new yet exciting experience having family come to "our" place! I was quite nervous at first just anticipating what they would think and say, but my worries were put at ease when all they said was how much they loved every bit of it out here! So, I guess we passed the test! Ha, ha! The time went quite fast...but isn't that how it always goes. It was good catching up! Thanks Dad, Mom, Luke, and Lance for sharing a few days with us! Love you all. Enjoy a few of the candid moments..... 
We had a great beginning of the visit with a huge blessing from the Lutz tribe.....a few boxes full of food! I know that it may seem so simple, but something about having a cupboard full of food is such a great feeling and so exciting. We have never seen our cupboards this full ever! Thanks you guys for your love and generosity. That's what family is for, right!!! 
As Daniel and I were sorting and organizing the food, I mentioned to him how it just makes me miss them all even more. Thanks for the love offering, guys! Lord willing we will hopefully see you all soon! 
Daniel enjoying some bonding and relaxing time with Takota. He's so great with him! Takota would not be where he is now if it weren't for Daniel training him so well and the time/care he gives Takota!
Daniel showing off his golfing skills! We went golfing in Wahpeton at a golf course that is split up 9 holes in North Dakota and the other 9 in Minnesota. Pretty cool! I will have to say that for Daniel's second time ever to golf in his life, he is pretty stinkin good! 
Of course, Lance had to hit on the lady statues at Scheel's (world's biggest sporting goods store in Fargo). He is too much fun and never a dull moment with him! 
We got some dinner at the lovely Olive Garden while we were in Fargo. Mmmmm...
