I Hope You Don't Mind

I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is
Now YOU'RE in the world!

It's true! SEVEN years ago this sexy beast (aka: River) joined our family!

First he was a little brother,

Then he was a big brother.

Deja Vu...

Deja Who?
(Lucky River got to be a big brother 3 times in 3 years)

Whether he's UNDER-MAN (I mean Spiderman),

Or a MUMMY,

He's always our LITTLE ANGEL (sometimes more literally than others).

Mr. Monkey-Man is a lover of:
COWBOY ATTIRE (boots and shorts never go out of style, right?),

WATERMELON and BATHS (sometimes both at the same time),

CHOCOLATE,

ANIMALS... of both the LIVE...

And STUFFED variety,

SNOW,

SAND,

And pretty much ANYTHING OUTSIDE ('cept playing out back by himself... never a fan of that).

His very favorite outfits have always centered around
UNDERPANTS! (We'll start to get worried if he STILL wants to hang out in cowboy boots and undies when he's a teenager)

Oh, ya! Smooch it up! We love you Tick-Tock-Tiver! Happy 7 years of living every moment of life to the fullest!
