our cozy cottage is home

She's home! The guys brought her home safely. Randy says she pulls like a dream. That's a good thing.


Look at my kiddos and grandkiddo lounging on the bed. Are they not the cutest! We sure missed Nicole being with us for the cottage reveal. Poor Emolyn didn't know what to think of a house on wheels, but in time she will grow to love her little playhouse.


But we sure had a fun day together. Several sweet photo ops. Emolyn loves her baby dolls and takes them everywhere she goes.


She loved the park, especially walking barefoot on the playground sand, the grassy park and the basketball court.


At one point she noticed she had pockets and was determined to work her little hands inside those pockets. Cracked me up.


After bath time, we put her in the cutest pj's for a photo shoot with the Halloween quilt that her Mommy made for Randy. We love getting that lap quilt out each year.


I grew up with a jewelry box similar to the one I found recently at my little thrift store. Emolyn loves to watch the little ballerina girl twirl round and round to the sweetest music.


And occasionally she has to take the ballerina girl off the pedestal to give her a little kiss. Just melts me.


Just before the guys pulled in with the cottage, Miranda read her niece several books. Emolyn loves books.
Btw, had a fantastic women's retreat weekend. Came home refreshed, renewed and refocused. Such good stuff. Still processing it all.
