South Dakotans

Matthew's two aunts and an uncle came to see us this past week. We had a wonderful time with them playing cards, going to Shipshewana (a flea market and Amish shops), eating delicious food, and catching up on each other's lives.

Arkansas Hospitality

For a mini vacation, we headed to Little Rock, Arkansas to visit Kelli's best friend, Heidi. We enjoyed ourselves immensely despite the rain showers.
Chad and Heidi took us out for some good barbeque at Famous Dave's and even arranged for a babysitter so we could have a double date.

Guttentag from Germany

Our long-time friends, Adam and Tiffany were home in the states for a couple weeks. We had the privilege of hanging out with them on a couple occasions. We can't wait for them to move home permanently.
