Hi friends. I am so sorry to be coming at you so late with this week’s theme, but here we are, together, at last!
I am CERTAIN you had a good time capturing happiness this week, right? I mean, it’s happiness. It’s like saying “take pictures of a sleeping newborn” or “take a photo of you eating a hot fudge sundae.” How could that not be enjoyable?
Crazy week but fortunately, I had my camera handy a few times.
My two boys, playing Wii together. (Noah actually tries to teach Eli how to play the Wii. Eli is 16 months old. Noah has more patience in his little finger than I have ever had in my entire life.)
Eli has learned to approach his big bro and sister for book reading. It makes them feel very special and makes Mama feel all happy and squishy inside.
Yesterday, I had a cake smashing session. It made me so happy to be there, doing what I love and mostly smelling that sweet, luscious frosting being blown around in the air. I miss that smell.
And ugh. This photo is the epitome of happy. This is Sara Joy and her son Van (she’s the proud Mama to twins), Anna was holding her baby girl at this point. Sara came to visit us Tuesday night. It was such a happy treat.

Happy Capturing!
Love that first birthday shot- so cute. Nice work Beth! Happy you are up & running again today!
Oh my goodness that photo of Sara & Van!!!!!! This morning Noah said, I think Maggie liked me.
Steph
I really, really wish you could have seen it, Steph. She crawled right up to him, into his lap and they hugged and she grinned. She ADORES him. It was ridiculous. I DIED.
These are such wonderful happiness shots! What a wonderful big brother Noah must be! And those are sweet, happy babies. Thanks for the super fun prompt this week!
Oh man, that is so amazing.
Hi there! Your Linky thing doesnt seem to be working … here is my link to this: http://journallingthroughphotos.blogspot.com/2011/08/happiness-is.html
That last photo makes my heart smile so big.
I linked to my BlogHer post because there is a TON of happiness in my shots. Hope that’s okay.
I think Eli pretty much adores his big brother.
I love the picture of Sara Joy and Van. Love!
Amazing shot of Sara Joy and Van! Thank you, Beth! (ole blue eyes strikes again:-)
I love the way Eli is looking up from his chair…so sweet!
So Eli clearly adores his big brother. Such a fantastic shot. What a gift to both boys to be brothers.
I’m so glad you’re okay! I was starting to worry about you.
I just love that giant cupcake, and the baby is so sweet! It’s nice to have those moments when your kids make you feel all gooey inside.
LOVE the shot of the two boys playing Wii, such an amazing moment between them captured!
The Wii certainly brings happiness to this home.
Oh what fun! Cake smashing sounds awesome! Gorgeous portraits!
The picture of the boys playing the Wii is beyond adorable!
You can just see the love between your boys. Makes me what another baby now!! Can’t wait to see Anna with her little sister.
What cute photos. Love the color of them
You have so cute kids!!
That picture of Eli looking up at Noah pretty much makes me want to pass out! It’s ridiculous!! Sara’s babies are beautiful, it seems just like yesterday they were tiny little newborns! I’m sure you loved your visitors!
