The weekly photo challenge this week is a multi-photo challenge using one of the new gallery formats that WordPress created. The suggestion was to include a gallery of nine photos. I was talking on the phone with my friend V and she said Oh, that’s an easy one. Your family!
I added fireworks and raspberries for celebration and summertime. Seeing Michael so happy receiving a medal at a dive meet this summer made my nine photos tally an even dozen.
The family numbers added up quickly. I decided to show what really makes me happiest!
Witnessing my family love one another. Watching Erika enjoy her children ride the Merry-Go-Round at the zoo, James catching Laura in his arms, celebrating Anna’s First Holy Communion weekend with the family. And Steve playing with the grandkids.
All of these photos make a mom’s heart sing.
You have a beautiful family 🙂
thanks for looking and writing.

Gorgeous gallery, Ruth. What a happy family you have. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Love all the photos but WHERE ARE YOU in some of them?
I just simply smiled when I saw all those wonderful pictures!
Beautiful, happy family!! 🙂
Thank you.
I agree – it is the people in your life that makes one happy.
Thanks for your nice comment.
Such an outstanding collection. I can not select a favorite; but love the one with Matthew and Mark hugging Laura. Joyful – a blessing to be sure.
This makes me happy too : )
Perfect photos for the theme or just for pur enjoyment! Beautiful–makes me smile!

I would have been surprised, Ruth, if you hadn’t shown photos of your family in response to the challenge. No matter. They’re still a great response.
There are certainly people in your family that love that camera a bit more than others. The kids are a riot. Great candids.
A beautiful happy family.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Nothing beats the joy of family and friends gathered in celebration. 😉
amused by: siblings 🙂
Judith pulled together what I thought was a really cool gallery (http://berkshireviews.wordpress.com/2012/10/09/weekly-photo-challenge-happy-2/). I wasn’t even aware of this new WP feature until I saw Judith’s blog. Shows how far behind in my emails I am…. :/
