Taken 30Sept07 with Canon SD400 in Seattle, WA (Safeco Field)I melt when I look at this picture because it combines some of my favorite things: Seattle, baseball, Safeco Field, and River. I love that Riv laughs at me a lot. River is one of my "nephews." In other words, we are not related by blood, but we are related by heart. His mom and dad really are my sister and brother. I see him and his younger brother Truss about once a week and I get to see them tonight. I'm so excited. A few weeks ago, we had a "mom's dinner" - when Jamie and I have dinner with both of our moms. At some point, Jamie's mom asked River if he liked it when Becky came to visit. He said, "Yeah, it makes me feel good inside." If that doesn't melt my heart, nothing will. I would do anything for any of my nephews.
Oh, and... The Mariners won this, the last game of the season 4-2. Felix pitched a brilliant game giving up 4 hits in 8.2 innings. AND, the game was over in less than two hours which means Jamie was happy and I had hope for next season (which was violently squashed this past April).
River will be three years old in one month. If you say anything in his presence about baseball or the Mariners, he will loudly declare, "Ken Griffey Jr. is the best Mariner ever!" just because he knows it will elicit a high five and loads of verbal commendation from me. I have taught him well.

That picture is absolutely adorable. Look at the way he is looking at you; you can tell he loves his Aunt Becky!
