<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nWe had a few rainy days this week, but they turned into cozy indoor moments, and the temperatures cooled down. Movies, board games, and endless rounds of cards kept everyone entertained (and mostly out of trouble). Rainy weather also seemed to be a cue for our new furry friends to show up. Our small pack\u2014four dogs in total- now hang around the house like they have always belonged. We are certain Cookie spread the word that we are a soft touch.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tPickleball and basketball are still going strong when the sun is out, giving the kids a great way to burn off their energy (and gain an appetite). Speaking of which, with so many growing kids in the house, we are being eaten out of house and home. Grocery shopping has turned into a near-daily ritual\u2014and possibly our newest hobby. We are also having fun just hanging out every day. Never a dull moment.<\/p>\n
