who needs toys?

I have a lot of friends doing the picture a day thing. I think it's brilliant. I don't capture a picture every day, but I am close. I could snap shots of these munchkins all day. It is so fun to look back at pictures and have the memories come to life, and to see how things change so quickly. Yesterday the boys got free balloons at a special event we went to and the car ride home was completely nuts. I got hit in the head with a purple balloon more times that I can count. There was giggling and squealing and pure delight. I didn't get a chance to get Kaden in action, and I couldn't quite capture the essence of Beckham's complete excitement, but the happiness is evident. Another little thing that makes life sweet.

and I found this picture of Kaden at about 10 1/2 months old. Sheer joy.
