Fun in the sun!

Boy are these days ever flying by! Sorry to all of you who have been checking my blog with no recent updates. This past weekend I ventured out for a trip to Tomahawk by myself and of course with my two little munchkins. My sister's baby, Colton, was baptized. I posted a picture of him and Rose E posing with their sun hats in her yard. It was a nice trip, we got to visit,the weather was great, and I got in some antiquing too. Little by little this place is coming together for our home tour, the past two weeks we have bought a large old mirror for our entry way and 4 old prints. They seem to add a lot to a house like this. It's been fun having an excuse to finish things up. Walter was of course thrilled to see train tracks and other train things in Tomahawk too. I had to laugh because while we where there the wind was blowing and Walter said "mama turn it off, I said turn what off?" He said "the wind." At this age they think that we are capable of just about anything, I guess. On Sunday after church we went out to the camp with Jeff's brother and his family, Jeff's parents, and his grandparents. The kids loved being with those cousins too. Rose E said "Kirten" for Kirsten and when Brady was going to sleep in his car seat she went up to it and started to rock it, what a little mother hen already! Some of her other new words lately too have been "mamamum" for museum, "playground" and "swing." Last but not least, today I splurged on a dress for the home tour. I have been looking in all of the antique stores and on the internet and have had a hard time finding what I want so I went into the bridal store and purchased this one. I think now I am going to look for an old hat. I have some old pearls, and gloves to go with it too.

The dress looks great Chris! What color is the bottom? I can see the it has a lace top, but, can't make out the color. Is it burgundy?
