Closing down this cottage for the last time

Near the end of October Lucas and I closed down the cottage with one of my girlfriends and her son, a good friend of Lucas'.  We had a colllldddd weekend that was a bit stormy but we got it all done.

 
We had to really pack everything up this year and bring it home because we are not going back to the same old cottage next year.  We are reno-ing this cottage to make it more accessible for Sophie and to give us some more space in general.

It has meant a lot of planning but we are excited to see what the new expanded cottage looks like in the spring!  Lucas is very hesitant about changing anything but I think all will be forgiven when we get settled in next year.

It will be so nice for Sophie to have a bedroom instead of having her bed in the living room.  We will also have a shower that is accessible for her for the first time!  It will all be a big change for the better.  We love spending time at the cottage and Jason's mom has made it a special place for all of us to go to together every year.  Come on spring!
