You Capture – your happy story |
December 2, 2009 | Filed Under you capture. | 70 Comments |
However you tell your story, your story depicting happiness in your life or showing us what makes you happy, it’s the right way to tell your story.
Simple. Clever. Cute. Complex. However it goes, it’s the right way to tell it.
Mine starts each morning. I’m especially happy (and hopeful) when the sun is shining brightly into my kitchen. I see this as I make my coffee.
Some days, cool things happen, like my daughter appreciating her Dad on his birthday.
I love Saturdays when we are all in the mood to play a little bit of Rock Band. I love my husband who helps me so much and worries that I could be overdoing it just because I’ve vacuumed. A father that loves his children so deeply…all of his children.
And a girl that loves to help me bake. (and she’s good at it, too!) A girl that remembers her baby brothers and talks of them often, she comes up with ways to memorialize them, I am so proud of her and her love. “We need ornaments for James and Jake,” she says. “Then we will get them.“ I reply.
And a boy who is learning to read (and who loves it, too!) A boy who includes the baby in my belly when playing Rock Band wishing that he could send “a tiny drum set into my belly for it to play with it’s family.”
And then, at the end of the day, I sit down on the couch and I look up and see these symbols of my family, including the little one to come and I feel such happiness that it takes my breath away.
I never knew happy could feel this good.

Happy Capturing!
Great pictures. The little stocking next to yours made me smile. So sweet. Thanks so much for these you capture challenges, I love them.
I love your story! It inspires me every day. This is my first time (of hopefully many) to participate in You Capture!
Your story is great, and inspired me to write about something that really makes me happy! Thanks for the challenge this week!
That window is so beautiful! Your whole story is the essence of family life! Treasure it! Beautiful post…
Beautiful post! Love the pics … such a sweet family you have. So glad there is one on the way!!
Where did you find those stockings? I’d love to get some personalized too but am leary because I don’t know who does a good job.
Thanks!

I so love your pictures every time I come here! I especially love the stocking picture. It looks like it could go in a Pottery Barn magazine. I loved this theme, it was very fitting for me this week!
This is such a sweet story, and there is nothing better than a man who loves his children. You are blessed. Thanks for sharing.

I love the little stocking for the baby. That is such a neat thing to see. Just wait until next Christmas when you will have that little one here to celebrate with you.
There is nothing I enjoy more than to see a child’s eyes light up on Christmas morning.
Beautiful pictures!!
Just wanted to say this was definitely my favorite you capture!
Love this post and everything about it…including the princess nightgown. Your family loves so beautifully.
Beautifully written. You gave my goosebumps with your excellent pictures and your grateful spirit.
Thank you.
