You Capture - Happiness

There's so much happiness to be had, if only one looks or tries hard enough to achieve it. Atleast, that's how it is around here. I know that there are certain circumstances and times when happiness is hard to find. Around here, we're optimists because we choose to be.

Both him and his tricycle look happy to be enjoying a SUNNY day in Germany

Someone graffitied a smiley face onto the park bench. Can't blame about happy graffiit can you?

Link loves when Daddy's home to play with him.

Even their tricycle is happy.

My new smexy purse definitely makes me happy.

And I'll end with some of my favorite lyrics in the whole wide world, a song called "happiness" by the Fray.

"Happiness was just outside my window

I thought it'd crash blowing eighty miles an hour

But happiness is a little more like knocking

On your door, you just let it in."

There's also a line about "happiness throws a shower of sparks" which I absolutely love.

The Boys

Yesterday was a great day. Both boys were exceptionally well-behaved and sweet. There was minimal crying and whining, both from them and from momma. Today? Well, today is a different story... So I'm remembering yesterday in all its cuteness.

This photo just makes me smile. I like the smirk on Drake's face (older boy), the "cool" sunglasses on Link (the younger boy), the natural solar flare that I managed to catch, the way the sunlight highlights the soft baby fuzz hair on Drake's shoulders (click the image to enlarge), the beautiful hints of colors (the green shirt, the red card, the yellow bike), and just the way these two stopped and posed for me. There's something about it that just makes me smile.
