I have a dream...

This is our second World Cup that we have watched while living in England. And this one is extra special because England and USA are scheduled to play each other in the first round.

In fact, this was the impetus (well one of them) for us getting our own television. Up until this point, we have lived happily without a television. But we really wanted to watch the England v. USA game in our own home without our beloved English friends with us. We would hate to cheer too loudly when the USA creams them tomorrow night. I mean when they see Charles and I they constantly have to be reminded of the War of Independence and how we threw all their tea into the harbour. We want to be a bit kinder tomorrow.

Just kidding, it is probably because we are fearful that it will be all English cheering, and we want to be able to sit in silence if this is the case. But I like to dream the other way. You know, we Americans, we're dreamers, and only time will tell....

As an extra note, I ordered the special World Cup edition nappies for Theo thinking they would have footballs on them and that he would really like wearing them. When they were delivered to our door I found out that they actually have the English flag on them! Here he is modelling them. You can be assured he will not have one of these on tomorrow! We are happy to root for England every night but tomorrow.
