September/October

 Our September was pretty empty.  The kids were well into school and we all got covid and have sorta been sick on and off ever since.

When October hit we, of course, started the Halloween festivities because it's the season we thrive in.

We made cut out cookies with a spooky theme this year for the first time and really enjoyed it.

And on the actual big day I wanted to make sure the kids had all the good candy in case trick or treating was a bust, so we set up some goodie baskets.

And then Caleb was the best and brought home the themed donuts on his way home from work in the morning.

We had a really fun few nights watching Sweeney Todd with the kids, evenings out taste testing the local food trucks with fun music, and soaking up the fall weather that finally hit us.

And then this little dude kind of took up most of our two months.  He's made so many big, cool steps living with us.  We've gone from needing a trainer to be able to sit on the living room furniture and not being allowed to pet him to him coming up onto our laps and asking to be pet and following commands with ease.

Our trainer told us when you take in a rescue dog, most times they need to learn to be loved and it couldn't be more true for our time with Bowzer.

Arya has done so well with her training with him.
