WIWS - A Blessed Candlemas to you!

I haven't done this link-up in a while, which is sad, because I really love most of my winter wardrobe, most especially because of tights and stockings so you can't see how horribly blotchy and gross my legs (and knees! Oh my gosh!) are all year round. Seriously, I have no idea how people tan their legs evenly in the summer - I'm lucky if the tops of my feet get lines from my sandals.

BUT anyway, since I know you all wanted to talk about my knees, see below some pics of me by my lonesome, as little lady was snoozing when we got home from mass.

We went to a beautiful Solemn High mass for the feast of the Purification of Our Lady and Presentation of Our Lord today (Candlemas); the hubby and I accompanied the choir, and there was a procession and multiple lightings of beeswax candles, and loads of incense, and, well, all the smells and bells of a beautiful liturgy. As a result, however, Annie basically missed her morning nap, so I'm praying she stays passed out for another hour, at least.

It's actually been mild today, for a change. It feels more like the past several winters in VA, when it would snow and then warm up into the 60s two days later and melt it all away. The sub-freezing temps of the past 2 weeks have actually preserved some of the snow and "winteriness" that we usually don't get around here for all that long.

And, since I need to update you with some cute baby pics, I've pulled a few from the past couple of weeks.

Mid-crawl to come steal the cool black thing that Mommy's holding.

About to cry? Maybe sneeze? A funny face, anyway.

She has round 2 of a cold, so excuse the runny mouth and nose, but check out her teeth!

Alright, head on over to the ladies at FLaP and leave some comment love to encourage everyone to dress up for Sunday!
